HERE Geocoding & Search + ChatGPT
Geocode addresses, reverse-geocode coordinates, autocomplete addresses as-you-type, and search places via the HERE Location Services API. Useful for address validation, delivery-route planning, and storefront locators. Free tier covers 250k requests/month.
Prerequisites
See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:
HERE_API_KEY
Step 1 — Get credentials
Credentials: generate a REST API key at https://platform.here.com → Projects → API Keys. Paste it into HERE_API_KEY when importing. The key is passed as a query parameter (apiKey), not as a header.
Pricing: HERE's Freemium plan includes 250,000 requests/month free. Bulk batch geocoding requires a paid plan.
Countries: worldwide coverage. Use in=countryCode:DEU or ISO 3-letter country filter for scope.
…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
Step 2 — Install the adapter
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d
Step 3 — Add the connector in ChatGPT
Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide showsYOUR_SERVER_ID.
ChatGPT connects to MCP servers as custom apps in developer mode, available on paid plans (not on Free). On Business and Enterprise workspaces an admin may have to allow it first.
- In ChatGPT, open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode.
- Go to chatgpt.com/plugins and click +.
- Enter a name and a short description, e.g. Name:
HERE Geocoding & Search. - Under Connection, enter the MCP server URL
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_IDand create the connection. - When ChatGPT asks, sign in to AnythingMCP (OAuth) and allow access.

FAQ
Does the free ChatGPT plan work with custom MCP connectors? No. Custom MCP connections need developer mode, which is only on paid plans.
