Geocoding runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 43 installs a week from npm. Last commit 6 Aug 2026.

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.
const r = spawnSync(cmd, ["-c", "import sys; print('%d.%d' % sys.version_info[:2])"], { encoding: "utf8" });
Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.
This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.
