# osm-mcp-puca

An MCP server for use with LLM chatbots providing tools related to OpenStreetMap

## Usage

This MCP server can be integrated with your client that supports MCP.

### Docker

The `docker-compose.yaml` file included will run both the púca UI and MCP server so that you can enter queries into the UI.
To do so you will need to add your own OpenAI API Key in the `.env` file then start the containers with:

```
docker compose up -d
```

Check the logs for any issues and visit the web interface at `http://your.ip.address:3301`

### Pydantic AI

See the example file `client.py` for how to use this MCP server with Python's pydantic_ai

### Claude

Anthropic's Claude supports adding MCP servers if you edit the file:

```
vi ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
```

adding the following but amending the URL:

```
{
    "mcpServers": {
      "puca": {
          "command": "npx",
          "args": [
            "mcp-remote",
            "http://192.168.1.40:3300/sse"
