Places is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: Places worth a detour, from Wikidata: search, nearby lookup, fame rankings, stats. No key, CC0. Because it speaks the Model Context Protocol, AI assistants can use Places as a set of callable tools instead of you copy-pasting between apps.
It's a hosted (remote) server — point your client at https://detourmap.com/mcp and you're connected, with nothing to install locally. The current release is v1.1.0.
On mcp.site, Places sits in the Development category. Any MCP client can use it — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed among them — via the install snippets below.
