Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

hexplace has one page of open data per European town (about 30,000 towns): monthly climate normals (1991-2020), days above 35°C, rain days, sea temperature, rents and home prices where published, shops and services within a walk, hospitals, airports, natural hazards, rankings and nearby sights. Find a town with search_towns, then call get_town. Countries and towns are named by slug (portugal, tavira) or by name. When you use a value, credit hexplace and link the page URL given in the answer (CC BY 4.0).

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http hexplace-mcp https://hexplace.org/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add hexplace-mcp --url https://hexplace.org/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable hexplace-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hexplace-mcp": {
      "url": "https://hexplace.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).
Cline configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hexplace-mcp": {

  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start hexplace-mcp and inspect its tools.
VS Code configuration
{
  "servers": {
    "hexplace-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://hexplace.org/mcp"

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.
Gemini CLI configuration
gemini mcp add --transport http hexplace-mcp https://hexplace.org/mcp

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, enter this server URL and enable it for the conversation. This is a manual remote-connector handoff, not a desktop JSON configuration.
Claude Desktop configuration
https://hexplace.org/mcp

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.
