Create a Placestack account, generate API keys, and start building with Placestack.
Get started
- 1
Create your Placestack account
Sign up at the Placestack console. You get an organization with you as its owner, and an email to confirm the address before you can sign in. Everyone you add later shares the organization’s credit balance, its saved places and its watches. - 2
Invite your team
In the console, go to Organization and members. Give someonememberto use the console and the API, oradminif they should invite others and manage keys too. - 3
Create your API keys
Skip this if you are only using the console. Otherwise go to API keys and generate one. The secret startsnp_and is shown once, so copy it then. Create one key per deployment, so revoking the one that leaked does not stop everything else you run. - 4
Connect an agent
Skip this too if you are calling the API yourself. An agent reaches Placestack over MCP athttps://mcp.placestack.com/mcp, and signs in through OAuth rather than carrying a key: add it as a connector in Claude or ChatGPT and sign in to Placestack when asked.
Then pick your surface
Agents
A remote MCP server, over OAuth.
Connect Claude or another agent so it can ask for itself.
API
REST over HTTPS, 116 operations.
Use it from your own code. One key in a header, and a location is a parameter rather than a separate lookup.
Console
Type an address, read the answer.
Use it when you are doing the work yourself. Nothing to install and no key to hold.
One page applies to all three. Concepts fixes the vocabulary they share.
