The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability.

Tool Tokens
calculate_distance ~238

Exact geodesic distance between two places or geometries on the WGS84 ellipsoid. Use for any "how far" question instead of estimating. For NAMED places pass place_a and place_b; the server geocodes them, so never type coordinates for a place yourself. Use point_a/point_b only for coordinates the user gave or another tool returned. For lines and polygons the distance is between their nearest points. Returns metres and kilometres.

NameTypeReqDescription

place_b––A place NAME, e.g. 'Adelaide Oval'; geocoded on the server (preferred)

Install

How do I install the GeoSpark MCP server?

GeoSpark is a hosted endpoint at https://geospark.terrascout.app/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

Common questions

What is the GeoSpark MCP server?

GeoSpark is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.Maz2580/geospark. Verifiable geospatial tools: distances, topology, isochrones, Overture Maps, with sources. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://geospark.terrascout.app/mcp).

Is the GeoSpark MCP server safe to use?

GeoSpark scores 75 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the GeoSpark MCP server expose?

GeoSpark exposes 21 tools: calculate_distance, check_spatial_relationship, spatial_operation, geocode, reverse_geocode, and 16 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,500 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the GeoSpark MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to GeoSpark without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the GeoSpark MCP server still maintained?

GeoSpark is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
