Data offered docs-verified: places (businesses) with category, brand, confidence, operating status and contactability · recreation features such as playgrounds, parks, dog parks and beaches · geocoding and reverse geocoding · routing between points · isochrones (reachable walk, cycle or drive areas) · reachability-filtered place search · area summaries · land use at a point · transit stops near a point · building summaries
Coverage docs-verified: Global (routing works anywhere on Earth; places read from the Overture Maps public release)
Formats docs-verified: MCP stdio · MCP HTTP
Access docs-verified: Free and open: no account, no API key, no signup. Code is MIT. Underlying Overture data is CDLA-Permissive-2.0 for places and ODbL for OSM-derived themes (attribution required for user-facing outputs).

Use cases llm-inferred: Screen a candidate development site by counting nearby amenities and competing businesses within a 15-minute walk · Provide accessibility context for a transport or planning statement using isochrones and routes from a site · Build a desk-based context pack for a site: nearby land use, buildings and transit stops · Audit nearby playgrounds and parks for a recreation or community baseline
Audience llm-inferred: planners · GIS analysts · transport planners · environmental and civils consultants (desk-based context) · agent developers building spatial assistants

Constraints docs-verified: No live traffic, no opening hours, no ratings or photos · Recreation-layer rows have no confidence or operating_status and are often unnamed (name may be null) · Places query latency increases with the recreation layer enabled (second dataset scan per query, cached) · Overture and OSM data is open crowd and business-listing data, not surveyed or authoritative baseline data; no flood, hydrology or drainage datasets are documented · Attribution to Overture Maps and OpenStreetMap contributors required for user-facing outputs
