Most geocoders quietly fall back to a city centroid when they cannot place an address, which is exactly the failure that ruins a route an agent has already committed to. Here results report confidence and method, and a lookup that is not sure returns nothing, so the agent can ask again instead of routing from a guess. The freight side is where the specificity shows: ten named vehicle presets set height, weight and length from one argument, individual parameters override them per haul, and the same profiles apply to isochrones as well as directions. quota never debits, so checking what is left of the free 15 requests a day costs you none of them.
A hosted geospatial MCP server at https://geo.thinair.co/mcp covering geocoding, multi-modal routing, traffic, weather, place search and reachability polygons, built around fleet workflows. Results carry a confidence score and the method behind them, and an uncertain lookup returns an empty result rather than a city-centroid guess.
- geocode, reverse_geocode and geocode_structured handle free text, coordinates and discrete form or CRM fields; batch_geocode takes up to 50 addresses per call and answers with a GeoJSON FeatureCollection
- resolve_intersection turns a named cross-street pair into a coordinate with its own confidence score
- directions routes auto, truck, bicycle, pedestrian and motorcycle, with ten truck presets — DRY_VAN_53, FLATBED_48, FLATBED_40, STEP_DECK, TANKER, BOX_TRUCK_26, AUTO_CARRIER, SPRINTER_VAN, DOUBLE_TRAILER and OVERSIZE — and individual parameters such as truck_height or axle_count overriding whichever preset you picked
- isochrone draws travel-time or travel-distance reachability polygons with several bands in one call, and distance_matrix returns road distances and times for up to 625 origin-destination pairs
- locate snaps a coordinate to the road network and reports road name, class, speed limit, legality, timezone and elevation; map_match snaps a raw GPS trace of 2 to 100 points to the route actually driven, and trace_attributes returns per-segment names, classes, speed limits and surfaces
- traffic covers real-time conditions across 30+ US metros, and weather returns current conditions and forecasts
- search_places finds nearby POIs by category — gas, charging, food, lodging — explore browses cities, neighborhoods and venues by region, and place_get retrieves one by its stable ta_place_… or ta_intersection_… id
- geofence_contains runs a point-in-polygon test against a GeoJSON polygon; quota reports plan, daily usage and remaining capacity without debiting anything, and issue_api_key mints a fresh key for the tenant
