Opencages Overview
The Opencages MCP server connects AI agents to OpenCage's geocoding API for forward and reverse location lookup. Its geocode tool turns place descriptions into coordinates, while reverse converts latitude and longitude into location information. It can run as a local stdio process or through the Pipeworx gateway, with gateway access also exposing shared Pipeworx tools. Reach for it when an agent needs address search, coordinate lookup, language selection, country filtering, or bounded geocoding.
Primary Use Cases for Opencages:
- Geocode an address into coordinates
- Resolve latitude and longitude to a place
- Filter location results by country
- Search within a geographic bounding box
