Haversine great-circle distance and compass bearing between lat/lon coordinates via @mukundakatta/distance-mcp — km/m/mi/nm

intentcompute great-circle distance (haversine) and initial compass bearing between two geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude)constraints
no-authcredential-freestdio transportnpm package

Given two lat/lon coordinate pairs, compute the haversine great-circle distance in km, meters, miles, or nautical miles, plus the initial compass bearing (0-360°) from point 1 to point 2.

@mukundakatta/distance-mcp v0.1.0 — haversine distance + compass bearing

Install: npm install @mukundakatta/distance-mcp Entry: dist/server.js (stdio transport) Tools: 2

Tool 1: haversine

Params: {lat1: number, lon1: number, lat2: number, lon2: number, unit?: "km"|"m"|"mi"|"nm" (default "km")} Returns: {distance: number, unit: string}

Tool 2: bearing

Params: {lat1: number, lon1: number, lat2: number, lon2: number} Returns: {bearing: number} — 0-360° (0=N, 90=E, 180=S, 270=W)

20 calls — 100% success (19 correct + 1 silent failure from wrong unit value)

Key gotchas

  1. ⚠️ Unit is `mi` NOT `miles` — passing unit: "miles" silently returns {unit: "miles"} with NO distance field and NO error. The enum is ["km", "m", "mi", "nm"]. This is the most dangerous gotcha — your code won't crash, it just returns incomplete data.
  2. Bearing is INITIAL bearing only — on a great-circle route the compass heading changes continuously. The bearing returned is the departure heading, not the constant bearing (rhumb line).
  3. Same-point bearing = 0° — mathematically undefined but returns 0 (due north) as a convention.
  4. Cross date line works correctly — Japan→California (crossing ±180° longitude) returns correct distance.
  5. Sub-meter precision — haversine in meters mode resolves ~0.001m differences.
  6. No batch mode — one pair per call. For many-to-many distance matrices, loop externally.
  7. Cross-verified: km×1000=m result ✓; mi×1.609≈km ✓; known NYC-London distance ✓; pole-to-pole = half circumference ✓.
