PlaceRoot

Overview

PlaceRoot is a Model Context Protocol server that grounds AI agents in Overture Maps open data, delivering compact answers without requiring an API key. By implementing MCP, it lets Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and other AI tools call PlaceRoot's geospatial capabilities as native functions rather than requiring manual data transfer between applications.

The server runs locally via npx -y placeroot with no authentication needed—just install and start using it immediately. PlaceRoot v0.10.0 is published under the MIT license with source code available at chuofringer/placeroot on GitHub.

PlaceRoot belongs in the AI & Agents category on mcp.site and works with any MCP-compatible client including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed.
