Connects Claude to France's official Base Adresse Nationale geocoding API without requiring authentication. Part of the Pipeworx gateway that bundles 250+ data sources into a single MCP endpoint. You can call BAN tools directly or use the ask_pipeworx interface to query French address data in plain English and let the gateway handle tool selection and parameters. Useful when you need to geocode French addresses, reverse lookup coordinates, or validate location data for France specific applications. Runs over streamable HTTP, so no local installation needed.
Base Adresse Nationale (BAN) MCP — France's official keyless geocoding API
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"ban-fr": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/ban-fr/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Ban Fr data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
