How do I keep my address searches private?

You can use the privacy mode capability, which runs geocoding queries without OpenCage logging them.

Can I limit results to a specific country?

Yes, you can use the country filter capability to restrict results to a specific ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 country code.

What happens if a location name is ambiguous?

You can use country filters, bounding boxes, or confidence scoring to ensure your agent finds the correct location.

Which AI clients can use this MCP?

This MCP works with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Does it provide more than just coordinates?

Yes, reverse geocoding can provide structured addresses, timezones, and even sunrise and sunset data.

How accurate is the geocoding. can I use it for delivery routing?

OpenCage returns a confidence score from 1 to 10 for each result. Use the high-confidence filter (min_confidence=8 or higher) to get delivery-grade accuracy. Combined with country filtering, you can eliminate ambiguous matches and get coordinates reliable enough for last-mile dispatch.

What does privacy mode actually do?

When you enable no_record=1, OpenCage processes your query but doesn't log it in their cache or analytics. The result is identical, but the query leaves no trace on their servers. Ideal for geocoding patient addresses, legal documents, or any PII-sensitive data.

Can I geocode in multiple languages. like getting results in Portuguese for a Brazilian address?

Yes. Use the language bias capability with any IETF language code (pt-BR, es-MX, fr-FR, etc.) and OpenCage returns the address components translated to that locale. Perfect for building multilingual apps or standardizing address formats across regions.

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.

Real work

What teams actually run

Address Validation

Check if a customer's address is real and accurate before processing an order.

Dataset Enrichment

Add latitude, longitude, and timezone info to a list of locations for analysis.

Localized Search

Find specific places while ensuring the results use the correct local language.

Geofencing

Restrict an agent's search area to a specific region or bounding box.

Automate a task

Put OpenCage to work on one thing.

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

OpenCage 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 OpenCage 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 OpenCage, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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