Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Point-in-polygon, nearest feature, spatial join, and distance tools for US geospatial datasets

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: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: TERRANODE_API_KEY

Install

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

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: TERRANODE_API_KEY, TERRANODE_API_URL

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

You need

  • 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 …”.

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "terranode": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@terranode-co/mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TERRANODE_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "TERRANODE_API_URL": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add terranode --env TERRANODE_API_KEY=your-value --env TERRANODE_API_URL=your-value -- npx -y @terranode-co/mcp-server

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": {
    "terranode": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@terranode-co/mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TERRANODE_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "TERRANODE_API_URL": "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": {
    "terranode": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@terranode-co/mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TERRANODE_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "TERRANODE_API_URL": "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.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

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

Values you fill in

  • TERRANODE_API_KEY secret required env
    API key from app.terranode.co
  • TERRANODE_API_URL env
    API base URL (defaults to https://api.terranode.co)

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Terranode Geospatial API safe?

It passed 1 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: TERRANODE_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.10) 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. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

@terranode-co/mcp-server

MCP server for spatial queries via the Terranode Geospatial API. Gives AI agents (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) tools to query geospatial datasets — point-in-polygon lookups, nearest feature search, distance calculations, and spatial joins.

Prerequisites

Setup

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "terranode": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@terranode-co/mcp-server"], "env": { "TERRANODE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here" } } } }

Cursor

Add to your Cursor MCP settings (.cursor/mcp.json):

{

"mcpServers": { "terranode": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@terranode-co/mcp-server"], "env": { "TERRANODE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here" } } } }

Claude Code

Add to your Claude Code MCP settings:

{

"mcpServers": { "terranode": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@terranode-co/mcp-server"], "env": { "TERRANODE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here" } } } }

Available tools

ToolDescription
list_datasetsList all available geospatial datasets (system + custom)
check_locationPoint-in-polygon: which feature contains a coordinate?
find_nearestFind the N nearest features to a coordinate, with distances
calculate_distanceGeodesic distance between two points (meters + miles)
spatial_joinEnrich multiple coordinates with polygon attributes at once

Example prompts

Try these in Claude Desktop or Cursor:

  • "What county is latitude 40.71, longitude -74.00 in?"
  • "What datasets are available?"
  • "Find the 3 nearest counties to Central Park"
  • "How close is my proposed site (40.7128, -74.006) to the nearest school (34.0522, -118.2437)?"
  • "Which states do these 5 warehouse locations fall in?" (paste coordinates)
  • "What ZIP code is 37.7749, -122.4194 in?"
