MCP

Give AI agents access to Stream.

Overview

The Outerview MCP server gives any MCP-compatible AI agent one tool for searching the physical world: places, objects, conditions, and interactive captures.

Install

bash
npm install -g @outerview/mcp

Configure your MCP host

Run outerview-mcp as a stdio server and pass your API key in its environment:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "outerview": {
      "command": "outerview-mcp",
      "env": { "OUTERVIEW_API_KEY": "ov_your_key" }
    }
  }
}

Give the key only to the MCP server process.

Tool: stream_world

limitNoNumber of results, capped by your plan
positionNo{ "points": [{ "latitude", "longitude" }, ...] }. Set one or more points to narrow discovery to the areas around them

The tool returns the raw Stream JSON: GeoJSON features with dates, locations, and result properties.
