01 — WHY IT EXISTS
Three APIs, three shapes, one common need: Norwegian places.

Kartverket runs the canonical Norwegian geodata services — geocoding, place-name lookup, terrain elevation — across three separate APIs with different request shapes and rate limits. An MCP server papers over the differences and gives Claude one consistent interface.

02 — WHAT IT DOES
Geocode, look up place names, query elevation.

Search Norwegian addresses by free-text, look up official place names by area, get elevation in meters at any lat/lon. Open data, no API key, Norwegian context built in.
