• compare_tagsCompare Tags

  Compare two sets of OpenStreetMap tags to identify differences, additions, deletions, and modifications. Performs detailed tag-level comparison showing which tags were added, removed, or changed between two versions. Provides human-readable names for all tags and values using the OSM tagging schema. Use this for reviewing tag changes, understanding feature modifications, analyzing tag history, or validating tag transformations. Returns structured diff with localized names for better readability.

• explore-categoryExplore OSM Category

  Help users explore all feature types within an OpenStreetMap category. This prompt shows all available values for a tag key, finds related presets, and helps users understand the breadth of features in a category. Use when users want to learn what can be mapped in a specific category or discover all options.

• find-presetFind OSM Preset

  Help users find the correct OpenStreetMap preset for a feature they want to map. This prompt guides them through searching for presets, understanding the preset structure, and learning what tags and fields are needed. Use when users are learning OSM tagging or need to know how to tag a specific feature type.

• flat_to_jsonConvert Flat Text to JSON

  Convert OpenStreetMap tags from flat text format (key=value per line) to JSON object format. This is an INPUT CONVERTER for AI workflows - use it FIRST when you receive tags in flat text format and need to work with them as a JSON object. Handles various text formats including key=value pairs (one per line), whitespace variations, empty lines, and comments (lines starting with #). Returns a clean JSON object with all parsed tags. Essential for processing OSM data from text exports, iD editor output, or JOSM exports.

• get_preset_detailsGet Preset Details

  Get complete detailed information about a specific OpenStreetMap preset. Presets are feature templates that define standard tagging patterns (e.g., the 'Restaurant' preset defines amenity=restaurant and lists fields like cuisine, outdoor_seating, etc.). Returns comprehensive preset information including: display name, all required and suggested tags, supported geometry types, complete list of fields, field types and options, and parent/child preset relationships. Use this to understand exactly how to tag a specific feature type, learn what fields are available for a preset, or get example valu…

• get_tag_valuesGet Tag Values

  Retrieve all possible values for a specific OpenStreetMap tag key, with localized human-readable names for both the key and each value. This tool searches through the OSM tagging schema (both predefined field options and preset definitions) to find every documented value that can be used with the specified key. Returns four pieces of information: the normalized key name, localized key display name, a simple array of all values, and a detailed array with localized names for each value. Use this to discover what values are available for a tag (e.g., all amenity types), learn the proper terminolo…

• improve-tagsImprove OSM Tags

  Guide users through improving an incomplete or minimal OpenStreetMap tag collection. This prompt analyzes existing tags, identifies the feature type, and suggests additional tags to make the feature more complete and useful. Use when users have basic tags but want to add more detail.

• json_to_flatConvert JSON to Flat Text

  Convert OpenStreetMap tags from JSON object format to flat text format (key=value per line). This is an OUTPUT CONVERTER for AI workflows - use it LAST when you need to present tags in a human-readable text format or export them for use in other tools. Produces clean, consistent key=value format with one tag per line, sorted alphabetically by key. Use this for generating human-readable tag lists, exporting to OSM editors, or sharing tag collections. The output format is compatible with JOSM, iD editor imports, and other OSM tools that accept flat text tag format.

• learn-tagLearn About OSM Tag

  Provide comprehensive educational information about a specific OpenStreetMap tag key. This prompt explains what the tag is for, shows all possible values, and provides examples of proper usage. Use when users want to learn about OSM tagging concepts or understand a specific tag.

• search_presetsSearch Presets

  Search for OpenStreetMap presets by name, tags, or geometry type. Presets are predefined feature templates that define how specific types of features should be tagged (e.g., 'Restaurant' preset defines standard tags for restaurants). Supports filtering by preset name keywords, specific tag filters, and geometry type (point/line/area/relation). Returns matching presets with their names, primary tags, geometry types, and match scores. Use this to find the correct preset for a feature type, discover how to tag specific features, or explore available feature templates in OSM.

• search_tagsSearch Tags

  Search for OpenStreetMap tags by single keyword or pattern. Searches across tag keys, tag values, and localized names to find matching tags. Supports fuzzy matching to find tags even with slight typos or variations. Returns matching tags with their keys, values, and human-readable names. Use this to discover tags related to a topic, find the correct tag when you know part of the name, or explore available tags in a category. For tag pair filtering (e.g., amenity=restaurant), use search_presets instead. Essential for learning OSM tagging vocabulary and discovering lesser-known tags.

• suggest_improvementsSuggest Tag Improvements

  Analyze an OpenStreetMap tag collection and provide intelligent suggestions for improvements. Identifies the feature type from existing tags, finds the matching OSM preset, compares current tags against preset requirements, suggests missing required fields, recommends commonly used optional fields, and provides examples for suggested fields. Returns prioritized improvement suggestions with explanations and example values. Use this to enhance incomplete features, learn best practices for tagging specific feature types, or improve data quality of existing OSM data.

• validate_tagValidate OSM Tag

  Validate a single OpenStreetMap tag key-value pair against the OSM tagging schema. Performs comprehensive validation including: deprecation checking (identifies deprecated tags and suggests modern replacements), schema existence validation (verifies the tag key exists in the schema), option validation (checks if the value is in predefined options for that key), and field type checking (distinguishes between strict fields and combo fields that allow custom values). Returns detailed validation results with localized names and actionable messages. Use this for educational purposes, data quality c…

• validate_tag_collectionValidate Tag Collection

  Validate a complete collection of OpenStreetMap tags (e.g., all tags for a feature) against the OSM tagging schema. Performs batch validation of multiple tag pairs, checks for deprecated tags across the entire collection, identifies conflicting or incompatible tags, and validates tag combinations. Returns comprehensive validation results for all tags with individual validation status, deprecation warnings, and collection-level issues. Use this to validate complete features before uploading to OSM or for data quality analysis of existing features.

• validate-osm-featureValidate OSM Feature

  Guide the user through validating a complete OpenStreetMap feature. This prompt helps validate all tags for a feature, check for deprecated tags, and suggest improvements. Use when users want to validate data before uploading to OSM or check data quality.
