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.

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

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

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 Claude

Percorso consigliato — funziona su claude.ai web senza toccare alcun file di configurazione.

  1. Apri claude.ai/customize/connectors.
  2. Clicca "Add custom connector".
  3. Compila:
    • Name: OpenPLZ Germany
    • URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp
    • Authentication: Bearer token → incolla la tua MCP API key (da AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
  4. Clicca Connect per autorizzare.
