What is the Georef Argentina MCP Server?
Connect your AI agent to the official Georef Argentina service to access precise geographic and administrative information. This server allows you to interact with the national database of provinces, departments, municipalities, and streets.
What you can do
- Administrative Hierarchy — List and filter provinces, departments, and municipalities by name or ID using
get_provincias,get_departamentos, andget_municipios. - Address Normalization — Convert messy address strings into structured data with precise components using
normalize_direccion. - Street Database — Search for specific streets (vías) within any locality or department using
get_vias. - Reverse Geocoding — Provide latitude and longitude to identify the exact administrative location with
reverse_geocoding. - Data Enrichment — Fetch centroids and metadata for geographic entities to power maps and analytics.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Georef API Key (if required for high-volume access)
- Start querying Argentine geography from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Logistics & Delivery — Normalize customer addresses to ensure accurate shipping and routing.
- Data Analysts — Clean and categorize datasets containing Argentine location information.
- Developers — Integrate official government geographic data without manual scraping or complex API setups.

Frequently asked questions
Can I find the coordinates of a specific address string?
Yes! Use the normalize_direccion tool. It will parse the address and return the structured components along with geographic coordinates.
How do I list all departments within a specific province?
Use the get_departamentos tool and provide the province name or ID in the provincia parameter to filter the results.
Can I get the administrative location of a specific latitude and longitude?
Yes, the reverse_geocoding tool takes lat and lon parameters and returns the corresponding province, department, and municipality.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
