mcp-geocodio

Geocodio MCP — wraps the Geocodio geocoding API (geocod.io)

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1865+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Description

geocodio_geocode

Forward geocode a single address to latitude/longitude with accuracy score and type. Optionally append data fields (congressional district, census/FIPS, timezone, ACS demographics, etc.). Example: geocodio_geocode({ q: "1109 N Highland St, Arlington VA", fields: "cd,census,timezone", _apiKey: "your-key" })

geocodio_reverse

Reverse geocode a coordinate pair to the nearest street address. Optionally append data fields (congressional district, census/FIPS, timezone, etc.). Example: geocodio_reverse({ q: "38.9002898,-76.9990361", fields: "cd,timezone", _apiKey: "your-key" })

geocodio_batch

Batch forward-geocode up to 10,000 addresses in a single request. Pass an array of address strings. Optionally append data fields to every result. Example: geocodio_batch({ addresses: ["1109 N Highland St, Arlington VA", "525 University Ave, Palo Alto CA"], fields: "cd", _apiKey: "your-key" })

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "geocodio": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/geocodio/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/geocodio/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1865+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

This pack takes your own API key (_apiKey) — we don't front one for it, so there's no curl here that would run without it. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/geocodio_geocode. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Run it from npm

@pipeworx/mcp-geocodio is a local stdio bridge to the Pipeworx gateway: your MCP client starts it with npx, and it forwards every call to the same https://gateway.pipeworx.io/geocodio/mcp endpoint shown above. It needs network access; there is no offline mode.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "geocodio": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-geocodio"]
    }
  }
}

Without a key it calls anonymously, capped at 50 calls a day. A free account raises that to 200 a day: get a key at https://pipeworx.io/signup and add "env": { "PIPEWORX_API_KEY": "<your key>" } to the server entry. The key is sent as a Bearer token, the same way a hosted connection sends it, so calls are metered and billed exactly as they are there.

It lists only this pack's tools by default. Set PIPEWORX_META_TOOLS=1 to also list ask_pipeworx and the other gateway-wide tools.

Behind an HTTPS proxy: Node's built-in fetch does not read HTTPS_PROXY by default. Newer Node releases honour it when NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1 is set; check your Node version's documentation.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Geocodio data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
