Address Geocoding

Addresses to coordinates and back

Address Geocoding converts between street addresses and geographic coordinates in both directions. Type in a full or partial address and get back latitude and longitude — or give it GPS coordinates and get back the nearest street address.

It's useful anywhere location data needs to cross formats: mapping workflows, logistics planning, enriching datasets with coordinates, or interpreting GPS output from devices and APIs. The geocoder handles everything from precise street addresses to landmarks and city names, and returns importance scores so you can pick the best match when multiple results come back.

What you can do

  • Convert any address (full, partial, or landmark) to latitude and longitude coordinates
  • Reverse geocode GPS coordinates back to a structured street address
  • Get structured address components including house number, road, city, postcode, and country
  • Handle bulk lookups by calling geocode_address in sequence for each address

Who it's for

Developers and analysts enriching data with location coordinates. Anyone building mapping or logistics workflows who needs to move between human-readable addresses and machine-readable coordinates. Useful wherever you have one format and need the other.

How to use it

  1. Use geocode_address with any address string — the more specific, the more accurate the result
  2. Check the importance score (0–1) in the results to pick the best match when multiple locations are returned
  3. Use reverse_geocode when you have coordinates and need to display a human-readable address

Getting started

Both skills are ready to use immediately — no setup needed. Start with geocode_address and pass any address you have.

Geocode Address

Convert a full or partial address into geographic coordinates. Returns matching locations with latitude, longitude, full address breakdown, and relevance scores.

Returns: Matching locations with coordinates, full address breakdown, and relevance scores
Reverse Geocode

Convert latitude and longitude coordinates into a human-readable address. Returns the full address breakdown with street, city, state, country, and postal code.

Returns: Full address breakdown with street, city, state, country, and postal code for the given coordinates

What you can do with Address Geocoding

Geocode Addresses to Coordinates

Convert street addresses into precise latitude and longitude coordinates for mapping and spatial analysis.

  1. Ask Claude: "Geocode this address using address-geocoding" and provide the address
  2. Claude returns the latitude, longitude, and standardized address components
  3. Use the coordinates in your mapping or spatial analysis workflow

Reverse Geocode Coordinates to Addresses

Convert latitude and longitude coordinates into human-readable street addresses and place names.

  1. Ask Claude: "Reverse geocode these coordinates using address-geocoding" and provide the lat/lng
  2. Claude returns the full street address and structured components
  3. Use the address in your application or report

Validate and Standardize Addresses

Check addresses for accuracy and normalize them into a consistent, standardized format.

  1. Ask Claude: "Validate and standardize this address using address-geocoding" and provide the address
  2. Claude returns the standardized address components and a confidence score
  3. Review any low-confidence results that may indicate invalid addresses

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I geocode a partial address?

Yes. `geocode_address` accepts full or partial addresses, and the most specific input usually gives the best match.

How do I turn coordinates back into a street address?

Use `reverse_geocode` with latitude and longitude. It returns the nearest human-readable address with street, city, state, country, and postal code.

What if a search returns multiple matches?

The geocoding response includes an importance score from 0 to 1, which helps you pick the strongest match when more than one result looks plausible.

Can I use this for a list of addresses?

Yes. The tool is optimized for one address at a time, so for bulk work you call `geocode_address` once per address in sequence.
