What is mcp-geo GEMINI.md?

Project instructions for the mcp-geo server, a service that gives AI assistants access to United Kingdom geographic and statistical data. It documents the project's technologies, folders, architecture, and ways to run it.

Use it when working on address lookups, boundary analysis, demographic data, map rendering, MCP connections, or the project's Python, Svelte, Docker, and database code.

It gives coding agents the context needed to make changes that fit the existing server, data sources, database, frontend, and development setup.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00846	$0.00846
Opus 5	$0.00423	$0.00423
Sonnet 5	$0.00169	$0.00169
Haiku 4.5	$0.00085	$0.00085

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-geo GEMINI.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

GEMINI.md - MCP Geo Server Context

This document provides essential context and instructions for AI agents (like Gemini) interacting with the MCP Geo Server repository.

Project Overview

MCP Geo Server is a research-oriented Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to provide AI assistants with access to UK geospatial data (via Ordnance Survey) and statistical data (via Office of National Statistics and NOMIS). It enables tools for address lookups, administrative boundary analysis, demographic statistics, and map rendering.

Main Technologies

Language: Python 3.11+
Framework: FastAPI / Uvicorn (HTTP transport)
Protocol: Model Context Protocol (MCP) - supports both STDIO and HTTP transports.
Data Sources: Ordnance Survey (OS) APIs, ONS Open Geography, NOMIS.
Database: PostGIS / pgRouting (for boundary and routing features).
Frontend: Svelte + Vite (for the playground UI).
DevOps: Docker, Devcontainers, GitHub Actions.

Architecture

server/: Core FastAPI application, routers, and MCP transport logic.
- server/mcp/: MCP-specific implementations (tools, resources, http transport).
- server/stdio_adapter.py: JSON-RPC 2.0 adapter for STDIO communication.
tools/: Individual Python modules implementing specific domain tools (e.g., os_places, ons_data, admin_lookup).
playground/: Svelte-based interactive UI for testing tools and exploring resources.
scripts/: Utility scripts for running the server, trace proxies, and maintenance tasks.
docs/: Extensive documentation covering specifications, research, and usage.

Building and Running

Prerequisites

Python 3.11+
OS_API_KEY (required for OS tools)
Docker (optional, but recommended for PostGIS features)

Development Setup

# Install dependencies with test and dev extras
pip install -e .[test,dev]

# Set up environment variables
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and add your OS_API_KEY

Running the Server

HTTP Transport (Default):
```
python run.py
# or
uvicorn server.main:app --reload
```
The server will be available at http://localhost:8000.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

mcp-geo GEMINI.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository chris-page-gov/mcp-geo (3 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 846 tokens to every session, about $0.0042 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
