ollect comprehensive environmental data from 80+ US federal sources (FEMA, EPA, USGS, NOAA, NRCS, USFWS, DOE, DOT, CDC, Census) for any US location. One tool returns flood zones, soils, wetlands, rainfall, water quality, contamination, seismic risk, infrastructure, ecology, energy, and demographics.
Connect Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and other AI tools to 80+ US federal environmental and infrastructure data sources.
GeoTap aggregates data from FEMA, USGS, EPA, NOAA, USDA, USFWS, DOT, Census, and more — accessible through the MCP (Model Context Protocol).
Web App: geotapdata.com — no code required, draw on a map and explore data visually.
Go to geotapdata.com/developers and register with your email to get a free API key.
Your API key will be sent to your email. Save it — you'll need it in the next step.
Choose your AI tool below and follow the instructions. The MCP server is installed automatically via npx — no manual download needed.
claude_desktop_config.json file. Add the following (replace your-api-key-here with your actual key):{
"mcpServers": {
"geotap": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "geotap-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"GEOTAP_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
}
Config file location:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json- Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Run this command to add GeoTap to your Claude Code MCP servers:
claude mcp add geotap -- npx -y geotap-mcp-server
Then set your API key as an environment variable. Add this to your shell profile (~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, etc.):
export GEOTAP_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
Restart your terminal, then start Claude Code. GeoTap tools will be available automatically.
.cursor/mcp.json file:{
"mcpServers": {
"geotap": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "geotap-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"GEOTAP_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
}
~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json directly){
"mcpServers": {
"geotap": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "geotap-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"GEOTAP_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
}
For any MCP client, the server can be run directly:
# Install globally
npm install -g geotap-mcp-server
# Run with your API key
GEOTAP_API_KEY=your-api-key-here geotap-mcp
The server communicates over stdio — point your MCP client to the geotap-mcp command with the GEOTAP_API_KEY environment variable set.
Once connected, ask your AI assistant to pull data for any US site. GeoTap collects from all 80+ federal sources at once — just give it a location and then ask whatever you want:
"Collect site data for 123 Main St, Austin TX"
Once the data comes back (~60-120 seconds), you can ask follow-up questions like:
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Server won't start / "GEOTAP_API_KEY is required" | Make sure your API key is set in the env block of your MCP config |
| "npx: command not found" | Install Node.js (v18+), which includes npx |
| Tools don't appear in Claude Desktop | Restart Claude Desktop completely (quit + reopen, not just close the window) |
| Rate limit errors | Wait a moment and retry — burst limits are per-minute |
| Agency | Data Available |
|---|---|
| FEMA | Flood zones, FIRM panels, flood insurance rate maps, floodway boundaries |
| USGS | Elevation (3DEP at 1m/10m/30m), geology, streamgages, groundwater, land use (NLCD), StreamStats, National Streamflow Statistics (NSS) |
| EPA | Water quality (ATTAINS), Superfund sites, brownfields, TRI toxic releases, USTs, NPDES outfalls |
| NOAA | Rainfall (Atlas 14), IDF curves, tide stations, climate projections (CMIP6), weather stations, radar |
| USDA/NRCS | Soils (SSURGO), curve numbers, hydrologic soil groups, TR-55 parameters |
| USFWS | Wetlands (NWI), endangered species, critical habitat |
| DOT | Bridges, tunnels, National Bridge Inventory |
| Census | Demographics, boundaries, TIGER geographic data |
| USACE | Dams, levees, navigation channels |
| NHD | Stream flowlines, hydrography, watershed boundaries (HUC-8/10/12) |
| Other | Power plants, mines, tribal lands, building footprints, and more |
Every response includes source attribution — the federal agency, dataset name, and reference URL.
| Variable | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
GEOTAP_API_KEY |
Your API key from registration | Yes |
GEOTAP_API_URL |
Custom API endpoint (advanced) | No |
