HERE Geocoding & Search + Gemini
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
git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d
Step 3 — Add the connector in Gemini
Gemini CLI reads MCP servers from ~/.gemini/settings.json (or %APPDATA%\gemini\settings.json on Windows). Add:

"mcpServers": {
"anythingmcp": {
"httpUrl": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
}
}
}

gemini. - Run
/mcpinside the Gemini CLI —HERE Geocoding & Searchshould be listed as available. - Vertex AI Studio: pass
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcpto thetoolsarray of your request with the same Bearer header.
