Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

U.S. demographics, housing, mortgage, migration, and employment data via loc8n API

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Computer or cloud
  • Transport: stdio, SSE
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: LOC8N_API_KEY, Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 0 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: LOC8N_API_KEY, Authorization

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • Runs in the cloudNothing to install; it connects over the internet
  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Or run it on your computer

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "geographic-data": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@gener8v/mcp-geographic-data"
      ],
      "env": {
        "LOC8N_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport sse geographic-data https://mcp.loc8n.com/sse --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Or run it on your computer

claude mcp add geographic-data --env LOC8N_API_KEY=your-value -- npx -y @gener8v/mcp-geographic-data

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "geographic-data": {
      "url": "https://mcp.loc8n.com/sse",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or run it on your computer

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "geographic-data": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@gener8v/mcp-geographic-data"
      ],
      "env": {
        "LOC8N_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "geographic-data": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "https://mcp.loc8n.com/sse",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or run it on your computer

Open in VS Code

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "geographic-data": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • LOC8N_API_KEY secret required env
    API key for the loc8n Geographic Data API
  • Authorization secret required HTTP header
    Bearer token — your loc8n API key

Common questions

Is loc8n Geographic Data safe?

It passed 0 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: LOC8N_API_KEY, Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.3) reached the registry 7 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

@gener8v/mcp-geographic-data

MCP server for the loc8n Geographic Data API. Exposes U.S. demographics, housing, mortgage, migration, employment, and geographic data as tools for any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, etc.).

Quick Start

npm install -g @gener8v/mcp-geographic-data

Set your API key:

export LOC8N_API_KEY="your-api-key"

Get a key at loc8n.com.

Usage

Claude Desktop

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

{

"mcpServers": { "geographic-data": { "command": "mcp-geographic-data", "env": { "LOC8N_API_KEY": "your-api-key" } } } }

Claude Code

Add to your project's .mcp.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "geographic-data": { "command": "mcp-geographic-data", "env": { "LOC8N_API_KEY": "your-api-key" } } } }

Hosted SSE (no install required)

Connect any MCP-compatible client directly to the hosted server at mcp.loc8n.com. Pass your API key as a query parameter or Authorization header:

SSE endpoint: https://mcp.loc8n.com/sse?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY

Or with a Bearer token:

GET https://mcp.loc8n.com/sse

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Each connection gets an isolated session — your API key is used for all requests and usage is tracked against your account.

Cursor

Add to your Cursor MCP settings:

{

"mcpServers": { "geographic-data": { "url": "https://mcp.loc8n.com/sse?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY" } } }

Windsurf

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "geographic-data": { "serverUrl": "https://mcp.loc8n.com/sse?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY" } } }

Self-Hosted SSE

Run the server locally for development or custom deployments:

mcp-geographic-data --transport sse --port 3100

Endpoints:

  • SSE: http://localhost:3100/sse
  • Messages: http://localhost:3100/messages
  • Health: http://localhost:3100/health
