Nominatim MCP — wraps OpenStreetMap Nominatim geocoding API (free, no auth)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.
Tools
Tool | Description |
| Search for coordinates of an address or place name. Returns latitude, longitude, display name, and place type for matched locations. |
| Convert latitude/longitude coordinates to a human-readable address. Returns nearest address, place name, and administrative boundaries. |
| Get details for OpenStreetMap locations by ID (e.g., "N123456" for node, "W654321" for way, "R111" for relation). Returns coordinates, names, and metadata. |

Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"nominatim": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/nominatim/mcp"
}
}
}Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Nominatim data" })The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
