Use when a task needs live geographic lookups - "geocode this address", "what's at these coordinates" (reverse geocoding), "lat/lon for this city", "which country/state is this ZIP or postal code in", or "country facts: capital, currency, population, flag". Nominatim (OpenStreetMap) is the geocoding default; Zippopotam for postal codes; APICountries for country facts. All keyless. Do NOT use for weather at a location - use weather-climate instead; do NOT use for country-level statistics over…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Geo & Places Data Turn place names, addresses, coordinates, and postal codes into structured geography with keyless APIs. The mistake this prevents: reaching for the Google Maps/Places API from training memory - key-walled, billing-enabled - when Nominatim answers the same lookup free, or stalling on which of the dozens of directory-listed geocoders actually works. ## Ranked APIs 1. **Nominatim** (nominatim.openstreetmap.org) - DEFAULT for geocoding and reverse geocoding. OSM data, global, no key. Hard etiquette rules below. 2. **Open-Meteo Geocoder** - city/town name → lat/lon only. Faster and rule-free; use it when the input is a simple settlement name rather than an address or POI. 3. **Zippopotam.us** - postal code → place/state/coordinates, 60+ countries, no key. 4. **APICountries** (www.apicountries.com) - country facts: capital, currencies, languages, population, flags, borders. No key. (It serves the old REST Countries response shape; REST Countries itself now returns deprecation errors keyless - see Do NOT.) ## Procedure …

How to install
mdr add skillmedev/skills/geo-places@sha256:d3cd417b14f07482The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.bea4ea5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
