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.

Curated set · 6 capabilities

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

You don't need a client to put OpenStreetMap (Overpass & Nominatim) 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 OpenStreetMap (Overpass & Nominatim), so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with OpenStreetMap (Overpass & Nominatim). Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work OpenStreetMap (Overpass & Nominatim) owners hand off.

This MCP is built for anyone needing reliable geospatial data for Moscow without dealing with restricted local portals.

  • 01

    Expats

    Decoding Cyrillic addresses and finding local services.

  • 02

    Developers

    Feeding precise coordinates and POI counts into custom applications.

  • 03

    Travelers

    Locating landmarks and planning routes through the city.

FAQ

Questions OpenStreetMap (Overpass & Nominatim) owners ask.

  • 01

    Does this MCP work with Russian addresses?

    Yes. The search_places and geocode_address capabilities work best when you use Russian names.

  • 02

    Can I get the number of pharmacies in Moscow?

    Yes. The poi_densities capability provides counts for 14 different categories, including pharmacies.

  • 03

    What if I only have coordinates?

    You can use the reverse_geocode capability to find the address associated with those coordinates.

  • 04

    Does this include the city districts?

    Yes. The moscow_districts capability provides a list of the 125 districts and 10 okrugs.

  • 05

    Where does the data come from?

    The data is sourced from OpenStreetMap and Russian Wikipedia to ensure it is globally accessible.

  • 06

    Do I need an API key?

    No. Every source is keyless and global: OpenStreetMap (Overpass + Nominatim), Open-Meteo and Russian Wikipedia. The MCP defines no credentials.

  • 07

    Why not the city’s own open-data portal?

    Moscow's own portals (data.mos.ru, api.mos.ru, transport.mos.ru) resolve but refuse connections from outside Russia, so this family never depends on them. Coverage comes from the global OSM project, which maps the city in fine detail.

  • 08

    Why do counts include areas, not just points?

    Yes. OSM maps most large venues as areas (buildings, park outlines), and every capability uses the nwr selector, so nodes, ways and relations all count. Point-only queries would miss them.

  • 09

    Can I search around a point instead of the whole city?

    Pass lat + lon (and optionally km, 0.1–25) and the query narrows to a radius instead of the whole city. Use it before a long list. a citywide scan is heavy and capped at 200 rows.
