What is the OpenStreetMap MCP Server?
Connect your AI agent to the world's largest open geographic database. This server enables full interaction with the OpenStreetMap API (v0.6), allowing you to query, create, and update geospatial data through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Map Data Retrieval — Fetch raw OSM data (nodes, ways, relations) within specific bounding boxes for analysis or visualization.
- Element Management — Create, read, update, or delete map elements including points of interest (nodes), roads (ways), and complex boundaries (relations).
- Changeset Workflows — Open, update, and close changesets to group your edits and provide meaningful metadata to the OSM community.
- Historical Analysis — Retrieve the full version history of any map element to track changes over time.
- Advanced Querying — Filter changesets by user, time range, or geographic area to monitor local mapping activity.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your OpenStreetMap OAuth Token
- Start exploring and editing the map from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Your AI can now act as a GIS specialist, helping you audit map data or contribute to open-source geography without leaving your workspace.
Who is this for?
- GIS Analysts — quickly extract raw map data for specific regions without manual exports
- Open Source Contributors — automate the creation of map elements and manage changesets via chat
- Developers — inspect map element metadata and history directly while building location-based services

Why OpenAI Agents SDK?
The OpenAI Agents SDK auto-discovers all 33 tools from OpenStreetMap through native MCP integration. Build agents with built-in guardrails, tracing, and handoff patterns. chain multiple agents where one queries OpenStreetMap, another analyzes results, and a third generates reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius.

OpenStreetMap in OpenAI Agents SDK
OpenStreetMap and 4,000+ other MCP servers. One platform. One governance layer.
Teams that connect OpenStreetMap to OpenAI Agents SDK through Vinkius don't need to source, host, or maintain individual MCP servers. Every tool call runs inside a hardened runtime with credential isolation, DLP, and a signed audit chain.

| Server catalog | Find and host yourself | 4,000+ managed |
| Infrastructure | Self-hosted | Sandboxed V8 isolates |
| Credential handling | Plaintext in config | Vault + runtime injection |
| Data loss prevention | None | Configurable DLP policies |
| Kill switch | None | Global instant shutdown |
| Financial circuit breakers | None | Per-server limits + alerts |
| Audit trail | None | Ed25519 signed logs |
| SIEM log streaming | None | Splunk, Datadog, Webhook |
| Honeytokens | None | Canary alerts on leak |

| GDPR compliance | Manual effort | Automated purge + export |
Why teams choose Vinkius for OpenStreetMap in OpenAI Agents SDK
The OpenStreetMap MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 33 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in OpenAI Agents SDK only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.
* Every MCP server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS - a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
How Vinkius secures
OpenStreetMap for OpenAI Agents SDK
Every tool call from OpenAI Agents SDK to the OpenStreetMap MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
How can I download map data for a specific region?
Use the get_map_data tool by providing a bounding box string (left, bottom, right, top). The agent will retrieve all nodes, ways, and relations within those coordinates.
Can I see who edited a specific road or building?
Yes! Use the get_element_history tool with the element type (node, way, or relation) and its ID. It will return the full version history, including timestamps and user information.
Is it possible to search for recent map updates in a city?
You can use query_changesets with a bbox (bounding box) parameter. This will list all changesets that intersect with that area, allowing you to inspect recent mapping activity.
How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?
Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.
Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?
Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.
Does the SDK support streaming responses?
Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
