Naver Map MCP Server

This is an MCP server that utilizes Naver Map APIs (Geocoding, Reverse Geocoding, Direction5, Direction15) for use with Claude Desktop.

Note: This MCP server does not support APIs that require client-side rendering (Dynamic Map, Static Map).

Features

• Address search using Naver Map Geocoding API (retrieve address information and coordinates)
• Convert coordinates to addresses using Naver Map Reverse Geocoding API
• Route search using Naver Map Direction5 API (up to 5 waypoints)
• Route search using Naver Map Direction15 API (up to 15 waypoints)
• Integration with Claude Desktop to use all these features within conversations

Setup Instructions

1. Register an application on Naver Developer Center (https://developers.naver.com) or Naver Cloud Platform and obtain client ID and secret.

2. You can set up API keys using one of the following three methods:

Method 1: Pass directly as command line arguments in Claude Desktop configuration

Open %AppData%\\Claude\\claude_desktop_config.json file (Windows) or ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json file (Mac) and modify as follows:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "navermap-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "installation_path/dist/index.js",
        "--clientId=YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
        "--clientSecret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Method 2: Set as environment variables

You can set API keys using system environment variables. This is useful when using the same keys across multiple scripts.

For Windows, in Command Prompt:

set NAVER_CLIENT_ID=YOUR_CLIENT_ID
set NAVER_CLIENT_SECRET=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET

For Mac/Linux, in Terminal:

export NAVER_CLIENT_ID=YOUR_CLIENT_ID
export NAVER_CLIENT_SECRET=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET

Then set the Claude Desktop configuration file as follows:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "navermap-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["installation_path/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "NAVER_CLIENT_ID": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
        "NAVER_CLIENT_SECRET": "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"
      }
    }
  }
}

Method 3: Create a startup script

You can create a startup script to set environment variables and run the MCP server.

Example startup script for Windows (start-mcp.bat):

@echo off
set NAVER_CLIENT_ID=YOUR_CLIENT_ID
set NAVER_CLIENT_SECRET=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET
node installation_path/dist/index.js

Example startup script for Mac/Linux (start-mcp.sh):

#!/bin/bash
export NAVER_CLIENT_ID=YOUR_CLIENT_ID
export NAVER_CLIENT_SECRET=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET
node installation_path/dist/index.js

Then set the Claude Desktop configuration file as follows:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "navermap-mcp": {
      "command": "installation_path/start-mcp.bat" // Windows
      // or
      // "command": "installation_path/start-mcp.sh"  // Mac/Linux
    }
  }
}

For Mac/Linux, you need to grant execution permission to the startup script:

chmod +x installation_path/start-mcp.sh

3. Restart Claude Desktop.

How to Use

You can request services during conversations with Claude using the following formats:

Address Search (Geocoding API)

• "Search for Teheran-ro in Gangnam-gu, Seoul"
• "What are the coordinates of Haeundae-gu, Busan?"
• "Search for Daehak-ro in Yuseong-gu, Daejeon"

Convert Coordinates to Address (Reverse Geocoding API)

• "Tell me the address at coordinates 127.1058342,37.3597080"
• "Where is latitude 37.5666103, longitude 126.9783882?"
• "Show address information for these coordinates (129.075986,35.179470)"

Route Search (Direction5/15 API)

• "Show me how to get from Seoul to Busan"
• "Search for a route from origin (127.1058342,37.3597080) to destination (129.075986,35.179470)"
• "Find a route going Seoul→Daejeon→Daegu→Busan"
• "Find the optimal route from Gangnam Station to Gwanghwamun"
