Swisstopo Mcp
Pull Swiss federal geodata—geocoding, elevation, STAC, WMTS, OEREB—from swisstopo services into maps-heavy apps and geo agents.
Overview
Swisstopo MCP is a Build-phase MCP server that lets coding agents use Swiss federal geodata services including geocoding, height, STAC, WMTS, and OEREB.
What is this MCP server?
- Swiss federal geodata: geocoding, height, STAC, WMTS, OEREB and related services
- swisstopo-mcp v0.1.3 stdio server via uvx on PyPI
- Supports property, outdoor, logistics, and cadastre-adjacent indie products in CH
- Registry category Statistics & Geodata, scope core
- Reduces bespoke WMTS/STAC client code while iterating map features with an agent
- Server version 0.1.3 on PyPI identifier swisstopo-mcp
- stdio transport with uvx runtime hint
- Services described include geocoding, height, STAC, WMTS, OEREB and more
What problem does it solve?
Map and property features for Switzerland stall on one-off WMTS, STAC, and cadastre API clients instead of reusable agent-accessible geodata tools.
Who is it for?
Indie developers building CH map UIs, location search, elevation analysis, or OEREB-aware property workflows with agent assistance.
Skip if: Worldwide mapping products with no Swiss geodata requirement, or teams that need a managed Mapbox-style stack only.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Registering the MCP server gives your agent callable swisstopo endpoints so geocoding and map layers integrate faster into prototypes and backends.
- Agent-accessible Swiss geocoding, height, STAC, WMTS, and OEREB queries
- Faster map and location feature spikes in repo
- Integration scaffolding for CH-specific spatial backends
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Federal geospatial services are integrated when you build location features, map layers, or cadastre workflows, not as a substitute for generic cloud hosting. Geocoding, WMTS tiles, STAC catalogs, and OEREB land records are specialized external geodata APIs—canonical build integrations placement.
How it compares
Swiss federal geodata MCP connector, not a design skill or generic database server.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Swisstopo MCP for?
Builders using coding agents to integrate Swiss national geodata—tiles, catalogs, geocoding, cadastre-related OEREB—into apps without writing every GIS client from scratch.
When should I use Swisstopo MCP?
Use it during build when you implement maps, location APIs, or elevation and property layers for Switzerland; use earlier only for lightweight geo feasibility research.
How do I add Swisstopo MCP to my agent?
Configure io.github.malkreide/swisstopo-mcp with stdio transport, start swisstopo-mcp via uvx from PyPI, and reload your MCP client so geocoding and WMTS/STAC tools are available.
