How do I get ISO codes using this MCP?

You can simply ask your AI client to list countries or get details for a specific country, and it will provide the ISO2 and ISO3 codes.

Can I get latitude and longitude?

Yes, the MCP provides detailed metadata including latitude and longitude for specific locations.

Which AI clients can use this MCP?

You can use this with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Is there a limit to how many cities I can list?

Listing all cities within a specific country requires a Supporter+ tier subscription.

Do I need to host the MCP myself?

No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so it is ready to use immediately after you connect.

How can I list all cities within a specific state or province?

Use the list_cities_by_state capability by providing the Country ISO2 code (e.g., 'US') and the State ISO2 code (e.g., 'NY'). The agent will return a list of all cities registered in that region.

Can I get detailed metadata like emojis and phone codes for a country?

Yes! The get_country capability allows you to fetch full details for a specific country using its ISO2 code. You can also use list_countries with the fields parameter to include 'emoji' or 'phonecode' in the results.

Is there a limit when listing all cities in a country?

The list_cities_by_country capability requires a Supporter+ tier API key from CountryStateCity. For standard users, it is recommended to use list_cities_by_state to query cities in smaller administrative batches.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

CountryStateCity works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put CountryStateCity to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of CountryStateCity, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with CountryStateCity. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
