Why use it

• Real US postal data — addresses are verified against authoritative postal records, not heuristics. Returns delivery point validation (DPV), ZIP+4, residential/commercial flag.
• Sub-100ms autocomplete — typeahead-grade response times for address, city, and ZIP suggestions.
• Strong geocoding — forward geocoding returns accuracy classification (rooftop / interpolated / centroid / approximate) plus a confidence score, so your AI knows when to trust the result.
• IPv4 + IPv6 geolocation — country, region, city, coordinates, timezone, postal code.
• Free tier with no credit card — get a key in under a minute at sthan.io/dashboard.

Quick start

1. Get a free API key

Sign up at sthan.io and create a key from the dashboard. No credit card.

2. Add to your MCP client

Claude Desktop / Claude Code (~/.claude/mcp.json or project .claude/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sthan": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@sthan/mcp-server"],
      "env": { "STHAN_API_KEY": "sthan_test_your_key_here" }
    }
  }
}

Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sthan": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@sthan/mcp-server"],
      "env": { "STHAN_API_KEY": "sthan_test_your_key_here" }
    }
  }
}

VS Code (settings.json):

{
  "mcp.servers": {
    "sthan": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@sthan/mcp-server"],
      "env": { "STHAN_API_KEY": "sthan_test_your_key_here" }
    }
  }
}

Example prompts

Once configured, just ask your AI assistant naturally:

• "Is 123 Main St, New York, NY 10001 a real, deliverable address?"
• "Parse this address: apt 2b 500 broadway new york ny"
• "What are the coordinates of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington DC?"
• "What's the nearest address to 40.7128, -74.0060?"
• "Where is IP 8.8.8.8 located?"
• "Suggest US cities starting with 'San Fr'."

Packages

This monorepo publishes two packages:

Package	npm	Purpose
@sthan/mcp-server		The MCP server itself — the binary that your client launches
@sthan/core		TypeScript SDK for direct programmatic use of sthan.io APIs

Development

git clone https://github.com/sthan-io/mcp-server.git
