Limitations

Constraints llm-inferred

Designed for small volumes of geocoding; bulk CSV or database work is better served by OpenCage CLI tools or direct API calls · Requires Node.js 20 or higher and a local clone, npm install and build · Desktop config needs an absolute path to the built server file · Setup examples target the claude.ai desktop client; other MCP clients may need different configuration · Rate limits apply to accounts with hard limits; subscription accounts have no hard usage limits · First use requires the user to grant permission in the client
