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

openchargemap
openchargemap_find_stations
Find EV charging stations from the global Open Charge Map registry near a point or within a bounding box. Provide either a center (latitude + longitude + distance) or a boundingbox; optionally scope to a country with countrycode. This tool is coordinate-native and does not geocode place names — resolve a place like "Ballard, Seattle" to coordinates with openstreetmap_geocode first, then pass them here. Filter by connector type, minimum power (kW), operator/network, usage type (public/free/membership), charge level, operational status, and minimum charge points. Filter IDs are integers — resolve a connector or network name to its ID with openchargemap_lookup_reference (e.g. "CCS" -> 33). Each result includes title, address, distance from the search point, connections (type, power, count), operator, access rules, registry operational status, and the last-verified date.
openchargemap_get_station
Get the full record for one Open Charge Map station by its numeric OCM ID. Returns every connection (type, level, power, current, quantity, per-connection status), the operator and network, usage and access restrictions (pay-at-location, membership, access key), the number of charge points, general comments, usage cost, the data provider, media, and verification recency. Set includeComments to also return community check-ins inline.
openchargemap_get_station_comments
Read community check-ins and comments for one Open Charge Map station — the real-world reliability signal beyond the operator-reported registry status. Returns user comments and fault reports with ratings and dates, alongside the station's current registry status and last-verified date, surfacing mismatches like "listed operational, but the last few check-ins report a fault."
openchargemap_lookup_reference
Resolve Open Charge Map reference data to the integer IDs that openchargemap_find_stations filters require. Pick a category and pass a name or code to resolve — "CCS" or "Tesla Supercharger" -> a connectiontypeid, "ChargePoint" -> an operatorid, "Public - Pay At Location" -> a usagetypeid, "France" or "FR" -> a country. Omit the query to browse the whole category.

Openchargemap MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Openchargemap MCP Server do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: openchargemap_find_stations, openchargemap_get_station, openchargemap_get_station_comments, openchargemap_lookup_reference. 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 Openchargemap MCP Server working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 401 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Openchargemap MCP Server?
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 Openchargemap MCP Server need an API key?
No. Openchargemap MCP Server completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Openchargemap MCP Server?
It answers our handshake in 401 ms on average, which is faster than 33% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Openchargemap MCP Server?
The npm package @cyanheads/openchargemap-mcp-server was installed 95 times in the last week. Week over week that is +22%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Openchargemap MCP Server open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 1 stars on GitHub and 12 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
