Georef Argentina — address normalize & geocoding (no key)

The official Argentine geo-reference service (Georef, datos.gob.ar) as a clean HTTP API (and MCP tool): normalize/parse an Argentine address into street, number, locality, department and province; reverse-geocode a lat/lon; and look up provinces, departments, municipalities and localities. Government open data, ideal for validating and enriching Argentine addresses — almost no one wraps this for the world. No API key. Pay per query.

• 🏠 Address — turn "Av. Corrientes 1234, CABA" into structured fields (street, number, locality, department, province) with the official nomenclature.
• 📍 Reverse geocode — a lat/lon → province / department / municipality.
• 🗺️ Places — search provinces, departments, municipalities and localities by name (and parent), with centroids.
• 🇦🇷 Official & keyless — the same data the Argentine state publishes.
• 💵 Pay per query · no key.

The use case it was built for

Argentine forms, e-commerce checkouts, logistics and CRMs need clean, validated addresses. Feed a messy address string and get canonical province/department/locality back; or geocode/reverse-geocode for maps and routing. Also perfect for enriching locally-scraped listings.

Notes & limits

Data from the Argentine national open-data Georef API (apis.datos.gob.ar/georef). Address normalization quality depends on the input; provide province when known to disambiguate.
