  1. Real-world use case 01

    Urban planning infrastructure audits

    An urban planner asks their agent to find every bike lane in a specific zip code to identify gaps in the city network using execute_query.

  2. Real-world use case 02

    Geographic research data extraction

    A data scientist needs to find all pharmacies in a city for a health study and uses execute_query to get the coordinates.

  3. Real-world use case 03

    GIS bounding box downloads

    A GIS analyst needs to pull a large chunk of map data for a specific region and uses get_map to grab the raw XML.

Capability set01 / 01

01—04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Overpass API.

  1. 01 Capability

    Get map

    Fetches raw OSM map data for a specific bounding box. Use this to grab large chunks of map data for GIS processing.

  2. 02 Capability

    Get status

    Checks your current Overpass API rate limit and slot availability. Use this to see if you're about to get throttled.

  3. 03 Capability

    Execute xapi

    Runs legacy XAPI queries to return raw XML data. Use this when you need to support older query formats.

  4. 04 Capability

    Execute query

    Runs Overpass QL queries to return JSON data. This is your go-to for finding specific points of interest or features.

Before you connect

Questions about Overpass API.

The practical details behind the request, access and result.

Can Overpass MCP find specific buildings?

Yes, it can find any point of interest that is mapped on OpenStreetMap, including specific buildings, shops, and landmarks.

Does Overpass MCP work for any city?

It works globally. As long as the data is available in OpenStreetMap, your agent can query it for any city or region.

Can I use Overpass MCP to get raw map files?

Yes, you can use the bounding box capability to fetch raw map data for specific geographic areas to use in your own GIS software.

Is Overpass MCP good for urban planning?

It's excellent for urban planning. You can quickly pull data on bike lanes, parks, and public transport nodes across different cities.

How does Overpass MCP handle API limits?

It includes a status capability that lets your agent check your current slot availability and rate limits so you don't get blocked during heavy use.

Can I use it to find pharmacies near me?

Yes, you can ask your agent to find pharmacies within a certain radius of your coordinates, and it will pull the results from the map data.

How do I find all restaurants in a specific city using this server?

You can ask the agent to use the execute_query capability with an Overpass QL string, for example: [out:json];area[name='Berlin'];node(area)[amenity=restaurant];out;. The agent will handle the execution and present the results.

Can I download raw map data for a specific coordinate range?

Yes. Use the get_map capability and provide the bounding box coordinates in the format min_lon,min_lat,max_lon,max_lat. This will return the raw OSM data for that area.

What should I do if the API returns a rate limit error?

Run the get_status capability. It will show you how many slots are available and if there is a cooldown period active for your IP address.
