swisstopo-mcp

MCP server for Swiss federal geodata -- maps, elevation, geocoding, cadastral extracts, and downloadable datasets via Swisstopo APIs

🇩🇪 Deutsche Version

Overview

swisstopo-mcp gives AI assistants access to Switzerland's official geodata infrastructure through 20 tools, all without authentication:

Anchor demo query: "Which communes are in the Uster district, and what are their BFS numbers for joining with BFS statistics data?" (The BFS commune number is the official join key to swiss-statistics-mcp and zurich-opendata-mcp — this is what turns a geodata wrapper into a semantic connector at the commune level.) → More use cases by audience →

Demo

Features

  • 🗺️ 20 tools (REST, Geocoding, Height, STAC, WMTS, OEREB, geodienste.ch, OpenStreetMap/Overpass, OpenPLZ)

  • 🔍 Geocode Swiss addresses and reverse-geocode coordinates
  • 🏔️ Query elevation and compute elevation profiles

  • 🔗 Generate shareable map.geo.admin.ch links
  • 📋 Look up cadastral property IDs (EGRID) and retrieve OEREB extracts
