ThinAir Geo MCP Server

Give your AI agent complete geospatial awareness — geocode addresses and intersections, route across multiple modes (auto, truck, bicycle, pedestrian), check live traffic and weather, draw reachability polygons, and search places. Confidence-scored results so your agent knows when to ask again. 10 tools via MCP.

What It Does

ThinAir Geo is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI agents full-stack geospatial tooling — no API integration required. Coordinates you can actually route from: intersection-level precision with confidence scores, no silent fallbacks (returns an empty result instead of a city-centroid guess when uncertain).

• Geocoding — Forward, reverse, intersection, and batch (50/call). Results include confidence and method so agents can branch on quality.
• Routing — Multi-profile: auto, truck, bicycle, pedestrian, motorcycle. 10 truck-specific presets (dry van, flatbed, step-deck, tanker, box truck, auto-carrier, sprinter, double trailer, oversize) with hazmat / dimensions / weight / time-distance constraints native.
• Traffic — Real-time conditions for 30+ US metros.
• Weather — Current conditions and forecasts.
• Place Search & Explore — Nearby POIs, locality discovery with population filtering.
• Isochrones — Drive-time / walk-time reachability polygons (multiple bands per call).

Tools

Plus an issue_api_key utility — exposed via MCP for the API-key issuance flow but not part of the customer-facing 10-tool surface. Most clients complete OAuth at first use and never call it directly.

Truck Vehicle Profiles

Pass any of these as vehicle_profile on directions or isochrone to set dimensions automatically:

Individual params (truck_height, truck_weight, truck_length, axle_count, etc.) override the preset.

Quick Start

Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf — OAuth (recommended, keyless)

Add to your client's MCP config (e.g. ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thinair-geo": {
      "url": "https://geo.thinair.co/mcp"
    }
  }
}

The OAuth flow completes at first use — no manual token setup required. Free tier: 15 requests/day, no card.

API key (for non-OAuth clients)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thinair-geo": {
      "url": "https://geo.thinair.co/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ta_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

npx (CLI / scripts)

npx -y @thinairtelematics/geo

Prints a config block to stdout for your client. Same OAuth-keyless option as above by default.
