CodePostalPro does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 96.7% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

Available tools 7

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

area
area_code_lookup
Where a US telephone area code is used: the state(s) it serves, the cities with the most ZIPs listing it, total ZIP and city counts, and `overlay_codes` — codes assigned to the same territory (e.g. 310 and 424 in west Los Angeles). Use it for "where is area code 310", "what area code is Denver" (via the city’s ZIPs instead), or to sanity-check a phone number’s geography. Caveat to relay: NANPA assigns codes to rate centres, matched here to cities — city-level accuracy, not a legal boundary, and a mobile number keeps its code when its owner moves.
countries
list_countries
The countries covered, with postal-code format, hierarchy labels (e.g. state › city › ZIP), key facts (capital, population, area, currency, calling code) and the time zones in use. Call it once if unsure whether a country is covered.
group
get_group
A city (US), département (France), province (Morocco), post office (Algeria) or delegation (Tunisia) with all its localities / ZIP codes. For a US city this is the complete list of its ZIP codes with coordinates, time zone and area codes. Needs the region slug and the group slug (both from get_region or from any record's `region.slug` / `group.slug`).
lookup
lookup_postal_code
Look up a postal code or US ZIP code. Returns every locality that carries the code with its city, county/administrative division, region (state, département, wilaya…), coordinates, IANA time zone, US telephone area codes, USDA 2023 plant hardiness / planting zone (e.g. 7b with its temperature band), and US Census demographics (population, density and land area, median household and per-capita income, median age, households, housing units, median home value, median gross rent — measured for the ZCTA, the Census approximation of the ZIP area). Each record lists its `sources` and a `verification` status (cross-checked | source-single | conflict | unverified); on `conflict`, `alternate_codes` gives the competing values and their sources — never pick one silently; tell the user both. Covers United States (ZIP), France, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco.
nearby
nearby_places
List localities around a latitude/longitude, nearest first, each with `distance_km`. Use it for "what ZIP codes are near…", "postal codes within 10 km of…", or to resolve coordinates to the closest postal code (the first result). Distances are to the locality centroid from the source data, not to a boundary.
places
search_places
Find localities by name, city name, or the beginning of a postal code. Use this when the user gives a place name and wants its postal code(s), or has a partial code. Results are ranked exact-name-first, then by population. Returns the same full records as lookup_postal_code. Restrict with `country` whenever it is known — names repeat across countries and states (there are many Springfields).
region
get_region
A state, région, wilaya or governorate with the list of its cities / départements / delegations (names, slugs and their postal codes), plus for US states every telephone area code in use. Use the slugs it returns to call get_group or get_place. Region slugs are lower-case hyphenated names: "texas", "ile-de-france", "alger".

CodePostalPro — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can CodePostalPro do?
It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: area_code_lookup, get_group, get_region, list_countries, lookup_postal_code, nearby_places and 1 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is CodePostalPro working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 29 of 30 checks got a reply (96.7%), average response time 283 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect CodePostalPro?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does CodePostalPro need an API key?
No. CodePostalPro completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is CodePostalPro?
It answers our handshake in 283 ms on average, which is faster than 56% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
