  1. 02

    Save the file and restart ChatGPT.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

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

Custom connectors are a paid-plan feature and take a remote URL only. ChatGPT cannot run a packaged server locally. ChatGPT docs

openstreetmap mcp server will not start until these are set, so openstreetmap_reverse_geocode never becomes available.

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 14 November 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.
