More Details Connect to Claude

Connect your AI agent to the world's largest open geographic database. This server enables full interaction with the OpenStreetMap API (v0.6), allowing you to query, create, and update geospatial data through natural conversation.

What you can do

  • Map Data Retrieval — Fetch raw OSM data (nodes, ways, relations) within specific bounding boxes for analysis or visualization.
  • Element Management — Create, read, update, or delete map elements including points of interest (nodes), roads (ways), and complex boundaries (relations).
  • Changeset Workflows — Open, update, and close changesets to group your edits and provide meaningful metadata to the OSM community.
  • Historical Analysis — Retrieve the full version history of any map element to track changes over time.
  • Advanced Querying — Filter changesets by user, time range, or geographic area to monitor local mapping activity.

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your OpenStreetMap OAuth Token
  3. Start exploring and editing the map from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Your AI can now act as a GIS specialist, helping you audit map data or contribute to open-source geography without leaving your workspace.

Who is this for?

  • GIS Analysts — quickly extract raw map data for specific regions without manual exports
  • Open Source Contributors — automate the creation of map elements and manage changesets via chat
  • Developers — inspect map element metadata and history directly while building location-based services

Get map data for the bounding box -0.15, 51.50, -0.10, 51.52 (Central London).

I've retrieved the map data for that area. It contains 142 nodes and 24 ways. Would you like me to list the primary road names or points of interest found?

Show me the history of way ID 4225123.

Inspecting history for Way 4225123... This element has 4 versions. It was originally created in 2015 and last updated by user 'MapMaster' in 2023 to add a 'bicycle_lane' tag.

Find the 5 most recent closed changesets by user 'JohnDoe'.

Searching for changesets... I found 5 recent closed changesets for 'JohnDoe'. The most recent one (ID: 1452390) involved updates to building footprints in Berlin. Would you like to download the details of any specific changeset?

Use the `get_map_data` tool by providing a bounding box string (left, bottom, right, top). The agent will retrieve all nodes, ways, and relations within those coordinates.
