How to Use the Radar MCP in Claude Code

Q: Can Claude Code perform reverse geocoding using Radar?

Yes, Claude Code calls reversegeocode to turn raw coordinates into readable street addresses directly inside your terminal session.

Q: How does Claude Code use Radar for IP lookup?

The agent invokes ipgeocode to resolve geographic details from an IP address, letting you quickly trace routing issues or check regional configurations.

Q: Can I use this to clean up address databases?

Yes. You can tell the agent to run validateaddress on your database records to fix formatting errors and verify delivery details.

Pipe coordinates, geofences, and route matrices directly into your terminal workflows using Claude Code.

Run Headless Route Calculations with this MCP Server

This MCP Server exposes `calculate_route_distance` and `calculate_routing_matrix` directly to your terminal. You can query travel times between coordinate pairs, pipe the JSON output to other CLI tools, or generate quick reports on delivery efficiency. This is built for terminal workflows. Instead of writing wrapper scripts, you ask your terminal agent to calculate distances and it executes the API calls, formats the output, and saves the results to a local file.

Bulk Geocode Addresses from the CLI

Claude Code uses `forward_geocode` and `reverse_geocode` to process location lists in batch. You can feed a raw CSV of addresses to the agent and have it append exact latitudes and longitudes without opening a browser. The agent handles the file parsing, manages the API rate limits, and writes the geocoded coordinates back to your data store.

Inspect Geofences and Places

Query nearby venues and active boundaries using `search_places` and `get_location_context`. The agent retrieves the metadata for any coordinate, helping you debug location-based logic directly from your shell. You get instant visibility into what geofences are triggered at a specific point, making it easy to troubleshoot routing bugs or boundary overlaps without logging into a web dashboard.
