What is the HERE (Location & Maps) MCP Server?
Connect your HERE Technologies account to any AI agent and take full control of cloud-native spatial analytics and location services through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Geocoding & Search — Convert addresses to precise coordinates (and vice versa) and discover points of interest (POI) with advanced autosuggest directly from your agent
- Routing & Logistics — Calculate optimal routes for cars, trucks, or pedestrians, and generate complex distance matrices for efficient fleet management
- Isolines & Reachability — Visualize reachability polygons to see how far you can travel within a set time or distance limit from any origin point
- Traffic & Flow — Monitor real-time traffic speeds and congestion patterns using precise bounding box queries to optimize delivery times
- Weather & Environment — Fetch live weather observations and forecasts for any location on the globe to prepare for environmental impacts
- Place Details — Lookup rich metadata and schema for specific places using unique HERE Place IDs for deep point-of-interest analysis
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your HERE API Key
- Start building location-aware applications from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- GIS Analysts — perform complex geocoding and reachability analysis through natural conversation without GIS software
- Logistics Managers — calculate optimal routes and travel-time matrices for delivery fleets and supply chain optimization
- Developers — integrate real-time traffic, routing, and weather data into AI agents for context-aware automation
- Urban Planners — analyze city accessibility, traffic flow patterns, and environmental conditions at scale

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns HERE (Location & Maps) into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from HERE (Location & Maps) and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
Can I geocode a list of addresses through my agent?
Yes. Use the forward_geocode tool to convert any text-based address into precise coordinates. Your agent can process multiple addresses in a single conversation, making it ideal for cleaning up location datasets.
How do I calculate travel time between multiple points?
The calculate_routing_matrix tool allows you to generate distance and duration spans between arrays of origins and destinations, perfect for fleet optimization and logistics planning.
Can I get real-time traffic updates for a specific area?
Absolutely. Use the get_traffic_flow tool with a bounding box (bbox) query to detect current congestion patterns and flow speeds, helping you optimize routes based on live road conditions.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
