Install Thinair Geo

Pick your client, then add it in one click or paste the config.

We couldn’t confirm it starts correctly

We ran the install command but it didn't respond within our test window — this can mean a slow first-time install rather than a real problem.

npx -y @thinairtelematics/geo

No response to initialize.

This is an experimental automated check and can have false negatives — missing environment variables, a slow cold install, etc. It doesn’t necessarily mean something’s wrong. Last checked 1mo ago.

Overview

ThinAir Geo provides geospatial tools for AI agents through a hosted MCP endpoint. It supports address and intersection geocoding, multimodal and truck-specific routing, reachability analysis, road-network matching, place discovery, traffic, and weather. Use it for fleet workflows, location-aware applications, and map-based operational decisions.

Use cases

  • Geocode addresses, intersections, and structured CRM fields
  • Route trucks with vehicle dimensions, weight, and hazmat constraints
  • Match GPS traces to road-accurate routes and retrieve road attributes
  • Find nearby services, places, and regional venues
  • Calculate travel-time isochrones and origin-destination distance matrices

Key features

  • Forward, reverse, batch, structured, and intersection geocoding
  • Routing for auto, truck, bicycle, pedestrian, and motorcycle profiles
  • Truck presets with hazmat, dimension, weight, and time-distance constraints
  • Traffic, weather, place search, and regional exploration
  • Isochrones, distance matrices, geofencing, map matching, and road lookup
  • Quota inspection and tenant API-key issuance

From the project README

ThinAir Geo MCP Server

Give your AI agent complete geospatial awareness — geocode addresses and intersections, route across multiple modes (auto, truck, bicycle, pedestrian), check live traffic and weather, draw reachability polygons, and search places. Confidence-scored results so your agent knows when to ask again. 19 tools via MCP.

Part of ThinAir

ThinAir Geo is the geospatial intelligence layer behind ThinAir fleet workflows: geocoding, routing context, address search, service-area visibility, map intelligence, traffic, weather, and reachability.

Hosted product vs this repository

  • geo.thinair.co is the hosted ThinAir product.
  • This repository is the thin public MCP package/pointer for developers and AI-agent clients.
  • Production use may require a ThinAir account, API key, OAuth connection, or hosted workspace.

What It Does

ThinAir Geo is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI agents full-stack geospatial tooling — no API integration required. Coordinates you can actually route from: intersection-level precision with confidence scores, no silent fallbacks (returns an empty result instead of a city-centroid guess when uncertain).

  • Geocoding — Forward, reverse, intersection, and batch (50/call). Results include confidence and method so agents can branch on quality.
  • Routing — Multi-profile: auto, truck, bicycle, pedestrian, motorcycle. 10 truck-specific presets (dry van, flatbed, step-deck, tanker, box truck, auto-carrier, sprinter, double trailer, oversize) with hazmat / dimensions / weight / time-distance constraints native.
  • Traffic — Real-time conditions for 30+ US metros.
  • Weather — Current conditions and forecasts.
  • Place Search & Explore — Nearby POIs, locality discovery with population filtering.
  • Isochrones — Drive-time / walk-time reachability polygons (multiple bands per call).

issue_api_keyMint a fresh API key for the current tenant (counts as 1 query)

Truck Vehicle Profiles

Pass any of these as vehicle_profile on directions or isochrone to set dimensions automatically:

ProfileDimensions / Use case
DRY_VAN_5353′ dry van — standard US freight (default)
FLATBED_4848′ flatbed, loaded height 14′
FLATBED_4040′ flatbed, regional / specialty
STEP_DECKStep-deck / drop-deck, 11′3″ upper-deck clearance
TANKERLiquid/gas tanker (pair with hazmat=true)
BOX_TRUCK_2626′ box truck, local delivery
AUTO_CARRIERCar hauler / auto transport
SPRINTER_VANCargo van, last-mile (9′ tall)
DOUBLE_TRAILERTwin 28′ pups, LTL long-haul (92′ total)
OVERSIZEPermitted oversize loads — override dimensions per haul

Individual params (truck_height, truck_weight, truck_length, axle_count, etc.) override the preset.

Quick Start

Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf — OAuth (recommended, keyless)

Add to your client's MCP config (e.g. ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thinair-geo": {
      "url": "https://geo.thinair.co/mcp"
    }
  }
}

The OAuth flow completes at first use — no manual token setup required. Free tier: 15 requests/day, no card.

API key (for non-OAuth clients)

config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thinair-geo": {
      "url": "https://geo.thinair.co/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ta_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Get a key at https://geo.thinair.co/connect.

npx (CLI / scripts)

Terminal
npx -y @thinairtelematics/geo

Prints a config block to stdout for your client. Same OAuth-keyless option as above by default.

Not for secrets

Do not commit API keys. Use OAuth where supported or pass API keys through your MCP client's secure environment/header configuration.
