Complete set · 4 capabilities

The complete OpenStreetMap capability set.

These are the exact actions your AI can choose when you ask it to work with OpenStreetMap.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through OpenStreetMap.

  1. 01

    Get latitude longitude

    Use search_location to see multiple candidates, or get_location_details for the full record. Convert a city name or street address into latitude/longitude coordinates. Use for "what are the coordinates of X?" or "geocode this address"

  2. 02

    Get location

    Coordinates are WGS84 decimal degrees. Convert latitude/longitude coordinates into a place: city, country and full address. Use for "what city is at these coordinates?" or "reverse geocode this point"

  3. 03

    Search location

    Each item carries a place_id you can pass to get_location_details. Search for places matching free text and return a ranked list of candidates. Use when a query is ambiguous or when you need several options to choose from

  4. 04

    Get location details

    Place_id resolves via Nominatim. Coordinates ("lat,lon" in place_id, or the latitude/longitude params) resolve via reverse geocoding with automatic Photon fallback. Fetch the complete details of a place, identified either by a place_id (from search_location / get_latitude_longitude) or by coordinates. Returns name, address components and bounding box

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 4 capabilities arrive ready to run.

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

    Does this server require an API key or account?

    No. It uses the free OpenStreetMap Nominatim service and falls back to Photon automatically. Neither requires an API key, so you can start geocoding immediately.

  • 02

    What happens if one provider is down?

    The server queries Nominatim first and automatically falls back to Photon on any failure or empty result. Both are normalized to the same response shape, so the fallback is completely transparent to you.

  • 03

    How do I get full details for a place I found in a search?

    Every search result includes a place_id. Pass that id to get_location_details to retrieve the full record, or pass coordinates directly if you already have them.
