GeoLabel
Let your coding agent resolve lat/long into human-readable place names, categories, and opening hours while building location-aware apps.
Overview
GeoLabel is an MCP server for the Build phase that converts GPS coordinates into place names, categories, and live opening hours using OpenStreetMap data.
What is this MCP server?
- Reverse-geocode GPS coordinates to place name and category via OpenStreetMap
- Fetch live opening hours for matched locations
- PyPI package geolabel-mcp v0.1.1 with stdio MCP transport
- Requires GEOLABEL_API_KEY from geolabel.dev (free tier advertised)
- MCP server pattern—not a Claude skill; register in Claude Code or Cursor MCP config
- Server version 0.1.1
- 1 PyPI package (geolabel-mcp)
- 1 required secret env var (GEOLABEL_API_KEY)
What problem does it solve?
Agents and prototypes only have lat/long strings and waste time guessing venue names or whether a shop is open.
Who is it for?
Indie builders adding maps, local guides, or field-service features who want one MCP call instead of custom OSM plumbing.
Skip if: Teams that already run self-hosted Nominatim with strict offline requirements or cannot send coordinates to a third-party API.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent returns labeled POIs and opening-hour context you can drop straight into UI copy, APIs, or test fixtures.
- Structured place name and category for given coordinates
- Live opening hours when available for matched OSM entities
- Agent-ready location context for maps and local features
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Geo lookups are wired during product build when maps, check-ins, or logistics features need labeled POI data. External MCP integration to OpenStreetMap-backed GeoLabel fits the integrations shelf rather than core app code.
How it compares
MCP geocoding integration, not a reusable agent skill or full maps SDK.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is GeoLabel for?
Solo developers and small teams building location-aware SaaS, mobile, or API products who use Claude Code or Cursor with MCP.
When should I use GeoLabel?
Use it during build when you need place labels, categories, or opening hours from coordinates in agent-driven coding or data prep.
How do I add GeoLabel to my agent?
Install geolabel-mcp from PyPI, set GEOLABEL_API_KEY, and add the stdio server entry to your client’s MCP configuration (e.g. Claude Code mcp.json).
