geomelon-mcp
MCP server for the Geomelon geographic API. Exposes cities, countries, regions, and languages as tools any MCP-compatible AI client can call.
Two transports are included:
| Binary | Transport | Use case |
|---|---|---|
geomelon-mcp |
stdio | Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue |
geomelon-mcp-http |
HTTP (Streamable) | Claude Code, remote / hosted server |
Requirements
- Node.js 18+
- A RapidAPI key with the Geomelon API subscribed
Claude Code (HTTP)
Create a .env file in the directory you'll run the server from:
cp .env.example .env
# then edit .env and set GEOMELON_API_KEY
Start the server (dotenv loads .env automatically):
npx geomelon-mcp-http
Register it with Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http geomelon http://localhost:3000/mcp
Verify it's connected:
claude mcp list
The server must be running whenever you use Claude Code. To use a different port set PORT=your_port and update the URL in the claude mcp add command accordingly.
Claude Desktop (stdio)
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"geomelon": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "geomelon-mcp"],
"env": {
"GEOMELON_API_KEY": "your_rapidapi_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop after saving.
Cursor / Windsurf / Cline (stdio)
Add to your editor's MCP config:
{
"geomelon": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "geomelon-mcp"],
"env": {
"GEOMELON_API_KEY": "your_rapidapi_key_here"
}
}
}
Remote / hosted HTTP server
Create a .env file on your server:
cp .env.example .env
# set GEOMELON_API_KEY and PORT in .env
Start the server:
npx geomelon-mcp-http
Then register with any MCP client using http://your-host:3000/mcp as the URL.
The HTTP transport is stateless — each request is independent, no session management needed.
