LocuSync GIS MCP server

LocuSync is a helper that gives your AI assistant map skills. It can turn an address into map coordinates, find a route between two places, check how high a spot is, and read or write common map files. It is handy if you work with locations, deliveries, travel plans, or any kind of map data and want to ask questions in plain words instead of clicking around a map tool.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something like where an address is or how far two cities are. The AI passes that request to LocuSync, which is running quietly on your computer. LocuSync then talks to map services on the internet, like OpenStreetMap for addresses and OSRM for routes, or reads a map file you have on your disk. The answer comes back to your AI, which explains it to you in the chat, often with numbers, a list, or a small map shape.

What you can do with it

• Turn an address into map coordinates and back again
• Look up several addresses at once in a single request
• Find the route between two points with distance and travel time
• Check the altitude of a spot or along a walking path
• Measure the distance between two places in meters, kilometers, or miles
• Draw a buffer zone around a point, like a 1 km circle
• Read and write Shapefile, GeoJSON, and GeoPackage map files

Try asking your AI

• “Where is 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on the map?”
• “How long does it take to drive from Paris to Berlin?”
• “What is the elevation of this point in the Alps?”
• “Read the cities.shp file and tell me how many places are in it”

What it gives back to you

You get a short answer in the chat, usually with the numbers or names you asked for. For example, an address lookup gives you coordinates and a full place name, and a route gives you distance, travel time, and the steps along the way. File reads come back as a list of map features your AI can describe or summarize. If something fails, the AI tells you what went wrong instead of guessing.
