How to Find Locations from Descriptions with OpenClaw
Location lookup with OpenClaw and ToolRouter. Resolve place names to GPS coordinates.
Tool
OpenClaw resolves informal place descriptions to coordinates in batch, processing lists of landmarks, neighborhoods, and partial addresses with confidence scoring for each match. Build location databases from venue lists, geocode event data where locations are described by name, and create point-of-interest datasets from unstructured location references.
Connect ToolRouter to OpenClaw
1Install the CLI
npm install -g toolrouter-mcp2Call tools directly from OpenClaw
toolrouter-mcp call web-search search --query "AI tools"
toolrouter-mcp toolsSteps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Address Geocoding tool:
- Ask OpenClaw: "Find the coordinates for this place" and describe the location
- OpenClaw returns the best-match coordinates and address
- Use the coordinates in your application or analysis
Example Prompt
Try this with OpenClaw using the Address Geocoding tool
Find the exact coordinates for "Shibuya Crossing, Tokyo" and "Brandenburg Gate, Berlin".
Tips
- Include the country for place names that exist in multiple countries
- Check the confidence score -- area-level matches are less precise than building-level ones
