Photon MCP — komoot-hosted OpenStreetMap geocoder. Strong on partial / typo-tolerant search (Elasticsearch-backed). No auth.

Tools

• search(query, lat?, lon?, location_bias_scale?, zoom?, limit?, lang?, osm_tag?, layer?, bbox?) — forward geocoding
• reverse(lat, lon, radius?, lang?, limit?, layer?) — reverse geocoding

Data source

https://photon.komoot.io/ — public, no auth. Fair-use limits. For high volume run your own Photon instance.

Photon vs Nominatim: Photon uses Elasticsearch and is much better at partial / autocomplete-style queries; Nominatim is better for structured-address parsing.

Tools

• search — Forward geocode — place name → coordinates. Strong on partial / autocomplete-style queries.
• reverse — Reverse geocode — coordinates → nearest place name.
