What's in it

Data offered docs-verified: place category taxonomy search · places by category within radius · nearest place of a given type · place counts by type in radius · building counts in radius · building class composition (%) · admin boundary containing a point · road segment counts by class · nearest road of a given class · road surface composition (%) · land use designation at a point · land use composition (%) · land use parcels by subtype
Coverage docs-verified: Global, with varying completeness by region
Update frequency docs-verified: Quarterly
Formats docs-verified: MCP stdio · MCP SSE · MCP streamable HTTP
Access docs-verified: Open source under MIT licence. Local stdio use needs no API key; hosted SSE/HTTP requires OVERTURE_API_KEY as a bearer token. Underlying Overture data is ODbL and CDLA Permissive 2.0. No AWS credentials needed.

Useful for

Use cases llm-inferred: Desk-study context: building and land-use composition within a radius of a site · Access and highways screening: nearest road and road class to a site, plus road surface mix · Assigning a site to its admin boundary (region or city) for reporting · Amenity and receptor counts within a radius for environmental or planning baseline notes
Audience llm-inferred: GIS analysts · planners · environmental consultants · civils engineers

Limitations

Constraints llm-inferred: Global dataset with varying regional completeness; not UK-specific · Quarterly release cadence; server pinned to release 2026-01-21.0 by default · Radius capped by MAX_RADIUS_M (default 50000 m) · Hosted SSE/HTTP mode needs an API key; stdio mode does not · Spatial analytics only: no geocoding, routing or map display · Community open-source project; maintenance and support commitments not stated
