What the publisher says
From the Elevation repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
@cyanheads/elevation-mcp-server Look up elevation worldwide, profile route ascent/descent, grid areas, check terrain line of sight via MCP. STDIO or Streamable HTTP. 4 Tools
Overview
Ground elevation and terrain analysis from two keyless sources: USGS 3DEP across the US and its territories (plus much of Canada and Mexico), and Open Topo Data everywhere else, which answers from SRTM GL1 v3 and, where SRTM has no tile, Mapzen terrain tiles. Look up spot heights, measure a route's ascent, descent, and grades, find an area's high and low points, and check whether terrain blocks a sightline. Runs as a stdio process or a local Streamable HTTP server.
Tools
Capability reference
elevationgetpoints tool
- points: 1–100 {lat, lon} objects in decimal degrees (WGS84)
- Each point comes back ok or nodata, with elevationm / elevationft, dataset, and resolutionm (omitted for mapzen); 3DEP answers add rasterid and the upstream acquisitiondate. pointswithdata counts the hits, and a point without data never fails the call
