MCP-OSM: OpenStreetMap Integration for MCP
This package provides OpenStreetMap integration for MCP, allowing users to query and visualize map data through an MCP interface.
Features
- Web-based map viewer using Leaflet and OpenStreetMap
- Server-to-client communication via Server-Sent Events (SSE)
- MCP tools for map control (adding markers, polygons, setting view, getting view)
- PostgreSQL/PostGIS query interface for OpenStreetMap data
Installation
This is my claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"OSM PostgreSQL Server": {
"command": "/Users/wiseman/.local/bin/uv",
"args": [
"run",
"--env-file",
".env",
"--with",
"mcp[cli]",
"--with",
"psycopg2",
"--with-editable",
"/Users/wiseman/src/mcp-osm",
"--directory",
"/Users/wiseman/src/mcp-osm",
"mcp",
"run",
"mcp.py"
]
}
}
}
When the MCP server starts it also starts a web server at http://localhost:8889/ that has the map interface.
