@terranode-co/mcp-server

MCP server for spatial queries via the Terranode Geospatial API. Gives AI agents (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) tools to query geospatial datasets — point-in-polygon lookups, nearest feature search, distance calculations, and spatial joins.

Prerequisites

Setup

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "terranode": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@terranode-co/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TERRANODE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to your Cursor MCP settings (.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "terranode": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@terranode-co/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TERRANODE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add to your Claude Code MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "terranode": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@terranode-co/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "TERRANODE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Available tools

ToolDescription
list_datasetsList all available geospatial datasets (system + custom)
check_locationPoint-in-polygon: which feature contains a coordinate?
find_nearestFind the N nearest features to a coordinate, with distances
calculate_distanceGeodesic distance between two points (meters + miles)
spatial_joinEnrich multiple coordinates with polygon attributes at once

Example prompts

Try these in Claude Desktop or Cursor:

  • "What county is latitude 40.71, longitude -74.00 in?"
  • "What datasets are available?"
  • "Find the 3 nearest counties to Central Park"
  • "How close is my proposed site (40.7128, -74.006) to the nearest school (34.0522, -118.2437)?"
  • "Which states do these 5 warehouse locations fall in?" (paste coordinates)
  • "What ZIP code is 37.7749, -122.4194 in?"
