MCP server for Swiss federal geodata (Swisstopo)

Swisstopo MCP Server for Swiss Federal Geodata

This MCP server provides a comprehensive suite of tools for accessing and processing Swiss federal geodata from Swisstopo. Developed for developers, it integrates directly with Swisstopo APIs, offering programmatic access to a wide range of geospatial information. The project is hosted on GitHub, ensuring transparency and community contribution.

What it Does

The Swisstopo MCP server acts as a unified gateway to various Swisstopo data services. It exposes 13 distinct tools, each designed to interact with specific Swisstopo APIs. This allows developers to easily incorporate Swiss geodata into their applications without needing to manage individual API connections or data formats. The tools cover essential geospatial functionalities, streamlining data retrieval and processing workflows.

Key Features

• Geocoding: Convert addresses to coordinates and vice versa.
• Height Data: Access elevation information for specific locations.
• STAC (SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog): Query and retrieve metadata for geospatial assets.
• WMTS (Web Map Tile Service): Access tiled map data for visualization.
• Comprehensive API Coverage: Integrates with multiple Swisstopo APIs for diverse data needs.
• Developer-Focused: Designed for integration into custom applications and workflows.
• Open Source: Available on GitHub for inspection and contribution.

Who it's For

This MCP server is intended for AI builders , geospatial developers , and data scientists working with Swiss federal geodata. If your projects require programmatic access to Swisstopo's extensive datasets for applications such as:

• Geospatial analysis
• Location-based services
• Data visualization
• AI model training on geographic data
• Integration of Swiss geodata into larger systems

...then this tool will significantly simplify your development process. It's ideal for those who need efficient and reliable access to official Swiss geodata.
