What is the LocationIQ (Geocoding & Maps) MCP Server?
Connect your LocationIQ account to any AI agent and take full control of affordable geocoding, routing, and geospatial intelligence through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Geocoding & Search — Convert address strings into precise GPS coordinates and use autocomplete to retrieve suggestions for partial location queries directly from your agent
- Reverse Geocoding — Convert latitude and longitude coordinates into human-readable addresses, including precise postal data and localized language translations
- Advanced Routing — Calculate optimal driving, walking, or cycling paths between multiple coordinates with support for OSRM-based navigation instructions
- Distance Matrices — Compute travel duration and distance tables between multiple origins and destinations to optimize logistics and delivery workflows
- Road Snapping — Perfectly align messy GPS signals to the exact street network using native snapping configurations for accurate fleet tracking
- Geo-Fencing & Filtering — Restrict searches within specific country ISO codes or geographic bounding boxes to ensure data relevancy and regional compliance
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your LocationIQ API Key
- Start building location-aware applications from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Software Developers — integrate geocoding and routing services into AI agents and validate coordinate results through natural conversation
- Logistics Managers — calculate optimal routes and distance matrices for delivery fleets without manual GIS software
- Data Analysts — clean and enrich datasets with precise geolocation and postal address metadata efficiently

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns LocationIQ (Geocoding & Maps) into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from LocationIQ (Geocoding & 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 convert GPS coordinates back to a physical address using my agent?
Yes. Use the reverse_geocode tool by providing the latitude and longitude. Your agent will return the human-readable address, including the house number, street, city, and postal code.
How do I calculate the travel time between multiple points?
The calculate_distance_matrix tool allows you to submit a list of coordinates. Your agent will return a duration table for the specified profile (driving or walking), helping you optimize multi-stop routes.
Can my agent check how many API requests I have remaining?
Absolutely. Use the check_account_balance tool to retrieve your current credit status. Your agent will report exactly how many OpenStreetMap queries remain for your API key during the current period.
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.
