Geomelon

geomelon-mcp

MCP server for the Geomelon geographic API. Exposes cities, countries, regions, and languages as tools any MCP-compatible AI client can call.

Looking for other ways to integrate? See all official libraries at geomelon.dev/libraries.

Two transports are included:

Binary	Transport	Use case
geomelon-mcp	stdio	Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue
geomelon-mcp-http	HTTP (Streamable)	Claude Code, remote / hosted server

Requirements

• Node.js 18+
• A RapidAPI key with the Geomelon API subscribed

---

Claude Code (HTTP)

Create a .env file in the directory you'll run the server from:

cp .env.example .env
# then edit .env and set GEOMELON_API_KEY

Start the server (dotenv loads .env automatically):

npx geomelon-mcp-http

Register it with Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http geomelon http://localhost:3000/mcp

Verify it's connected:

claude mcp list

The server must be running whenever you use Claude Code. To use a different port set PORT=your_port and update the URL in the claude mcp add command accordingly.

---

Claude Desktop (stdio)

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "geomelon": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "geomelon-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GEOMELON_API_KEY": "your_rapidapi_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after saving.

Cursor / Windsurf / Cline (stdio)

Add to your editor's MCP config:

{
  "geomelon": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "geomelon-mcp"],
    "env": {
      "GEOMELON_API_KEY": "your_rapidapi_key_here"
    }
  }
}

---

Remote / hosted HTTP server

Create a .env file on your server:

cp .env.example .env
# set GEOMELON_API_KEY and PORT in .env

Start the server:

npx geomelon-mcp-http

Then register with any MCP client using http://your-host:3000/mcp as the URL.

The HTTP transport is stateless — each request is independent, no session management needed.

Available tools

Cities

Tool	Description
search_cities	Search by name, country code, region, population range, sort order
get_city	Full details for a city by UUID
get_city_translations	All name translations for a city by UUID
get_city_settlement_types	Settlement-type classifications for a city by UUID
cities_by_coordinates_closest	Cities nearest to a lat/lon, ordered by distance
cities_by_coordinates_largest	Largest cities near a lat/lon, ordered by population
cities_distance	Distance in km between two cities

Countries

Tool	Description
list_countries	List countries, filter by name prefix or telephone dialing code
get_country	Full details for a country by UUID (includes translations and regions)
get_country_translations	Name translations for a country by UUID
get_country_regions	All administrative regions for a country by UUID

Regions

Tool	Description
list_regions	List regions, filter by country UUID
get_region	Full details for a region by UUID
get_region_translations	Name translations for a region by UUID

Languages

Tool	Description
list_languages	List all languages in the database
get_language	Details for a language by UUID

Oneshot prefix search (free, no API key)

Fast country-scoped city prefix search served as static files. No RapidAPI subscription needed. See geomelon.dev/free-city-autocomplete-api for the HTTP endpoint, supported country/language pairs, and response shape. This MCP server does not wrap the oneshot endpoint — call it directly.

---

Compound tools

These tools chain multiple API calls internally to save round-trips.

Tool	Description
find_cities_near_city	Given a city UUID, find nearby cities ordered by distance or population
city_context	Fetch a city together with its full country and region details in one call
country_overview	Fetch a country (by UUID or name), its regions, and top cities by population
compare_cities	Fetch two cities and the distance between them in one call
search_cities_in_country	Search cities using a country name instead of an ISO code
