Summary
Wraps the Open-Elevation API to return terrain elevation in meters above sea level for any latitude/longitude coordinate. Exposes a single tool, get_elevation, that queries altitude data without requiring authentication. Useful when you need topographic data for mapping, route planning, or geographic analysis and want to skip the overhead of managing API keys. Runs as a hosted gateway through Pipeworx, so you can connect via streamable HTTP and start querying elevations immediately. Part of a larger gateway offering 250+ data sources, but this server isolates just the elevation lookup if that's all you need.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.

Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
get_elevation | Elevation in metres above mean sea level for a single lat/lon. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"open-elevation": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/open-elevation/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Open Elevation data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
