Prerequisiti

Le istruzioni di setup complete sono incluse nel connettore stesso (visibili nello store quando lo selezioni). Le variabili d'ambiente richieste sono:

(none — public API)

Step 1 — Ottieni le credenziali

org).

Setup: NO API KEY REQUIRED. Just install the connector. The base URL is https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org.

HOWEVER — usage policy you MUST respect (otherwise you'll get banned):

  1. Max 1 request per second per IP. The connector does NOT throttle for you — your agent must self-limit. For bulk usage, run a self-hosted Nominatim or use a paid Nominatim host.
  2. User-Agent header REQUIRED — every request must identify you. The connector pins User-Agent: AnythingMCP (https://anythingmcp.com) automatically.
  3. No heavy bulk geocoding — if you need >100 requests/hour, switch to MapTiler / OpenCage / Mapbox / Google.

Step 2 — Installa l'adapter

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

Step 3 — Aggiungi il connettore in Cursor

Cursor legge i server MCP da ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Aggiungi questa voce:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anythingmcp": {
      "url": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}
  1. Ottieni la tua MCP API key da AnythingMCP → Profilo → MCP API Keys → Nuova Key.
  2. Salva il file e riavvia Cursor.
  3. Apri Cursor → Impostazioni → MCP per verificare che Nominatim (OpenStreetMap) sia presente e "Connected".
  4. Inizia a chattare — tutti gli strumenti di Nominatim (OpenStreetMap) sono ora invocabili.
