Use Pinloft: Batch Geocoder — Address to Lat/Long + Census FIPS MCP with Cline

Pinloft: US address to lat/lon, county, FIPS; reverse geocoding. Free, no key.

Remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP), nothing to install. Free: 100 free calls/day, no key · Paid: Starter $19/month; Pro $49/month; Starter yearly $190/year; Pro yearly $490/year

Set it up

Click the MCP Servers icon in Cline's toolbar, open Configure and click Configure MCP Servers.
Add the server under "mcpServers" with "type": "streamableHttp" and save.
Check that the server is enabled and lists its tools.
Every tool here is read-only, so you can add tool names to "autoApprove" if you want Cline to run them without asking.

Add to cline_mcp_settings.json::

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pinloft": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://pinloft.cybermaxtools.com/mcp?via=use-with-cline",
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

With a paid key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pinloft": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://pinloft.cybermaxtools.com/mcp?via=use-with-cline",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-key": "YOUR_KEY"
      },
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

The settings file is local to your machine; do not paste it into a shared repository with the key in it.

Where it goes:

cline_mcp_settings.json: in the IDE, click the MCP Servers icon › Configure › Configure MCP Servers
CLI: ~/.cline/data/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json

Config format checked 2026-10-09 against Cline's MCP documentation.

Tools you get

Endpoint checked 2026-10-09: https://pinloft.cybermaxtools.com/mcp answered an MCP initialize (protocol 2025-06-18) and tools/list with 2 tools, all marked read-only. No key was used and no tool was called.

Tool	What it does	Required inputs
`geocode_address`	Convert up to 5 street addresses to latitude/longitude with a cleaned, matched address and match confidence. US addresses also get state, county, tract, block group and block FIPS codes (US Census geocoder); include_districts adds congressional and state legislative districts, city, school district and metro area. Worldwide addresses use OpenStreetMap.	`addresses`
`reverse_geocode`	Convert up to 5 latitude/longitude points to the nearest street address (OpenStreetMap), and for US points add state/county/tract/block FIPS codes and congressional/state districts from the US Census geocoder.	`coordinates`

Test the endpoint from a terminal

This lists the tools without a key and without calling any of them:

curl -s https://pinloft.cybermaxtools.com/mcp \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

If it does not work

The field is "type" (not "transportType") and the approval list is "autoApprove".
Set "type": "streamableHttp" explicitly; "sse" is the legacy transport.
The free tier has a daily limit (see the pricing line above); a paid key raises it.
