Preview access · not provider authentication

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

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

FAQ

Questions OpenStreetMap owners ask.

  • 01

    How can I download map data for a specific region?

    Use the get_map_data capability by providing a bounding box string (left, bottom, right, top). The agent will retrieve all nodes, ways, and relations within those coordinates.

  • 02

    Can I see who edited a specific road or building?

    Yes! Use the get_element_history capability with the element type (node, way, or relation) and its ID. It will return the full version history, including timestamps and user information.

  • 03

    Is it possible to search for recent map updates in a city?

    You can use query_changesets with a bbox (bounding box) parameter. This will list all changesets that intersect with that area, allowing you to inspect recent mapping activity.
