How to: Claude.ai geonames-mcp-server geonames_reverse_geocode

client:Claude.ai transport:streamable-http tool:geonames_reverse_geocode

Add geonames-mcp-server to Claude.ai

  1. 01

    Open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Claude.ai.

  2. 03

    Ask for something geonames_reverse_geocode does. Claude.ai lists the server's tools on connect and calls geonames_reverse_geocode itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that geonames-mcp-server's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Claude on the web takes a remote URL and completes OAuth in the browser. For a packaged server use Claude Desktop or Claude Code instead. Claude.ai docs

Set these first

geonames-mcp-server will not start until these are set, so geonames_reverse_geocode never becomes available.

  • MCP_LOG_LEVEL

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 2 October 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
