Coordinates tell you where.
Not what.
AI systems can look up a lat/lng — but they cannot answer what actually matters: which direction is the restaurant, which entrance is accessible, what does it look like from the street.
Zephr wraps every place with the spatial context an AI agent needs to give a genuinely useful answer.
Spatial context for any AI stack
MCP, REST, or offline — the same rich data wherever your AI runs.
Spatially-aware search
Query by bearing, field of view, and distance from a precise fix — not just a bounding box.
AI descriptions
Every place: what it looks like, how to find it, what is nearby. Ready for natural-language delivery.
Overture Maps foundation
Built on the open Overture standard — global coverage, structured data, real-world entrances.
MCP + REST + offline tiles
Any AI model via MCP, REST API directly, or ship ZephrTiles for fully offline spatial context.
Connect any AI.
Query by location.
Five MCP tools give any LLM full spatial grounding as structured tool responses. Also available as a REST API for direct integration.
