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

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.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
