@pipeworx/overpass

OpenStreetMap Overpass API MCP — programmatic OSM queries, no auth.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.

Tools

• query(qql) — raw Overpass QL for advanced queries.

• pois_near(latitude, longitude, tag, radius_m?, limit?) — POIs in a radius.

• places_in_bbox(south, west, north, east, tag, limit?) — POIs in a bounding box.

Related MCP server: chuk-mcp-geocoder

Data source

https://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter — POST Overpass QL, returns JSON. ~10k queries/day from the public pool.

Quick Start

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "overpass": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/overpass/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 Overpass data" })

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