Bbox tools (6, 2 write)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

  • aggregate_overpass_h3write action

    Executes an Overpass query and bins the results into H3 hexagons at a specified resolution to analyze spatial density.

  • generate_share_url

    Generates a URL that links to the visual Bounding Box tool to display these coordinates on a map. Supports WKT, GeoJSON, ogrinfo extent, and raw coordinate strings as input.

  • get_bounds

    Get converted coordinates for a bounding box or text location search. Supports parsing WKT, GeoJSON, ogrinfo extent, and raw coordinate strings. If MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN is not set, you MUST provide explicit coordinates via 'bbox'.

  • get_h3_indices

    Get Uber H3 cell indices for a bounding box area at a target resolution. Input supports WKT, GeoJSON, ogrinfo extent, and raw coordinate strings.

  • list_osm_tags

    Discovery tool to look up the correct OpenStreetMap tags for a given category. Helps prevent hallucinating incorrect tags before writing an Overpass query.

  • search_overpasswrite action

    Execute an Overpass QL query to find POIs, roads, or other OSM features within a bounding box or radius. The server wraps your query in the appropriate spatial filter and returns structured JSON with a map link. SEARCH MODES: - Bounding box (default): searches a rectangular area. Use for region/area queries ('hospitals in Manhattan', 'parks in downtown Seattle'). - Circle: searches within an exact

Install Bbox in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y bbox-mcp-server on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

🌍 bbox-mcp-server

Ask AI about anything, anywhere — and verify the answer on a map. For Free

The geospatial toolkit for AI agents. 6 tools, zero config — give any LLM the ability to find, query, convert, and aggregate spatial data using open data. No API keys or signups required to start.

Every response includes a shareable verification link to vibhorsingh.com/boundingbox — click it to visually confirm results on an interactive map. No other MCP server does this.

What Can You Do With This?

You don't have to be a GIS professional to make use of this. Any AI agent with this MCP server can answer spatial questions using real OpenStreetMap data and not spit out hallucinated garbage.

Every answer comes with a link. Click it, see if the AI got it right and you can also share it with someone else.

What Makes This Different

Most AI tools give you text you have to trust. This one gives you an interactive map you can check and verify!

  • Verifiable — Every response includes a public URL where you (or anyone) can visually confirm the results. This is the only MCP server that does this in any domain.
  • Deterministic — Queries hit real OpenStreetMap data and return real coordinates. The AI interprets your question. The data comes from all the hard work done by all the awesome OSM volunteers.
  • Free — No paid services. Overpass API is free, OSM data is free, the tool is free. A Mapbox token (free tier, no payment info) unlocks natural language location search but isn't required.
  • Zero config — npx -y bbox-mcp-server and you're running.
