This Colombia MCP Server provides a collection of 15 tools to query geographic, tourist, historical, and cultural data about Colombia. The tools are grouped into categories such as Geography, Tourism, History and Government, Infrastructure, and Culture/Nature, and cover everything from regions and departments to airports, radio stations, indigenous reservations, and tourist attractions. To use the server, instantiate it via your preferred MCP launcher (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, or Cline) by pointing to the Colombia MCP server configuration provided in the README. Once active, you can call any of the available tools by issuing commands like get_regions, get_department with a specific id or name, get_tourist_attractions with a city_id or search term, get_presidents, get_airports, get_radios, get_maps, search_colombia, and more. The server relies on the Colombia API for up-to-date data and returns structured results suitable for downstream chat/storytelling or app integrations.

Prerequisites:

• Node.js and npm installed on your system (version requirements per your environment).

Option A: Run directly via npx (recommended per README)

1. Ensure you have an internet connection.
2. Start the MCP server using the provided configuration in your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, or Cline):
   • Use the following configuration snippet where appropriate: { "mcpServers": { "colombia": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@crexative/colombia-mcp-server"] } } }
3. The client will fetch the server from npm and initialize the MCP server for use in conversations.

Option B: Local development (if you want to run from source)

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/crexative/colombia-mcp-server.git
2. Install dependencies: cd colombia-mcp-server npm install
3. Build (if required by the project setup): npm run build
4. Run the server locally: npm start
5. In your MCP client, point to the local server as described in the client documentation.

Note: The server relies on the public Colombia API for data. Ensure network access and any API usage terms are respected in your environment.

Tips and notes:

• The server exposes 15 tools across geography, tourism, history, infrastructure, and culture to help build rich data-driven interactions.
• Use get_department with a name or id to fetch detailed department info; use get_cities with a department_id to list municipalities.
• When using tourism-related tools, you can search by city_id or a search string to find attractions, natural areas, and maps for a department.
• For general information, get_country_info returns flags, emblems, and other national symbols; get_presidents and get_president provide historical data.
• If you encounter network or API errors, verify your internet connection and that the Colombia API endpoint is reachable. Some data may require API rate limits or authentication depending on the upstream API terms.
• The npm package name is @crexative/colombia-mcp-server; you can replace the package in the npx command to upgrade or switch versions.
