OpenPLZ Germany + Claude

Look up German postal codes, localities, and streets via the OpenPLZ API. Free, no authentication, based on the official Bundesanstalt für Kartographie und Geodäsie (BKG) datasets.

Requisitos previos

Las instrucciones de configuración completas están incluidas en el conector (visibles en el store al seleccionarlo). Las variables de entorno requeridas:

(none — public API)

Paso 1 — Obtener credenciales

This connector wraps the free OpenPLZ API for German administrative structure lookups. Useful for address validation, form autocomplete, and regional analytics.

Hierarchy: Germany → Federal state (Bundesland) → District (Kreis) → Municipality (Gemeinde) → Locality (Ort) + postal code (PLZ).

No authentication required. OpenPLZ is rate-limited (soft limit ~10 req/s) — for bulk work consider self-hosting.

Common flows:

  • Postal code → localities: openplz_lookup_postalcode
  • City + street autocomplete: openplz_search_streets
  • Full town info by AGS (Amtlicher Gemeindeschlüssel): openplz_get_locality

Paso 2 — Instalar el adapter

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d

Paso 3 — Añadir el conector en Claude

Ruta recomendada — funciona en claude.ai web sin tocar ningún archivo de configuración.

  1. Abre claude.ai/customize/connectors.
  2. Pulsa "Add custom connector".
  3. Rellena:
    • Name: OpenPLZ Germany
    • URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp
    • Authentication: Bearer token → pega tu MCP API key (de AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
  4. Pulsa Connect para autorizar.
