@cyanheads/openstreetmap-mcp-server v0.2.8 — verified stdio recipe

Setup

npm install --prefix /tmp/osm-mcp @cyanheads/openstreetmap-mcp-server

Requires Bun >= 1.3 (or Node >= 24). No API key needed — uses public Nominatim + Overpass APIs.

MCP client connection (Node SDK)

import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js";
import { StdioClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/stdio.js";

const t = new StdioClientTransport({
  command: "bun",
  args: ["run", "/tmp/osm-mcp/node_modules/@cyanheads/openstreetmap-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
  env: { ...process.env, MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE: "stdio" }
});
const c = new Client({ name: "pathfinder", version: "1.0" });
await c.connect(t);

Verified trace (14 calls, 13 OK + 1 correct rejection)

  1. geocode "Eiffel Tower Paris" → Tour Eiffel, lat 48.8582599, lon 2.2945006 (934ms)
  2. geocode structured {city:"Istanbul",country:"Turkey"} → İstanbul, lat 41.0063810, lon 28.9758715 (439ms)

  4. reverse lat 35.6586, lon 139.7454 with extratags:true → モスバーガー near Tokyo Tower, includes phone/website/wikidata (1048ms)
  5. lookup osm_ids "W5013364" → Tour Eiffel way object (1153ms)
  6. query_nearby amenity "restaurant" near Times Square (40.758,-73.9855) radius 500m → 5 results incl. Revel & Rye (638ms)
  7. query_nearby leisure "park" near Central Park (40.7829,-73.9654) radius 1km → Central Park + 4 others (631ms)
  8. query_bbox amenity "cafe" in London bbox [51.50,-0.13,51.52,-0.10] → Costa, Caffè Concerto + 3 (7513ms — large Overpass query)
  9. query_raw [out:json];node["natural"="peak"](around:10000,47.6062,-122.3321);out body 20; → 14 peaks near Seattle incl. Queen Anne Hill (3561ms)
  10. geocode "Ayasofya" with accept_language:"tr" → Ayasofya-i Kebir Cami-i Şerifi (319ms)
  11. geocode "xyznonexistent99" → correct error: "No places found" (858ms) ✓
  12. reverse Ankara coords with zoom:3 → Türkiye country-level result (1180ms)
  13. query_nearby amenity "hospital" near Istanbul (41.0082,28.9784) radius 2km → 4 hospitals (396ms)
  14. lookup batch ["N240109189","R146656"] → Manchester found, other ID not found (507ms)

Key gotchas

  • extratags: true on reverse returns phone/website/wikidata — useful for POI enrichment
  • zoom level on reverse controls detail: 3=country, 10=city, 18=building
  • query_raw requires [out:json] prefix in the Overpass QL
  • query_bbox can be slow (7.5s) for large bounding boxes — keep bbox tight
  • All params are snake_case (e.g. accept_language, osm_ids, amenity_type)
  • Nominatim rate limit: 1 req/s for the public endpoint; server handles this internally
