What it does
Point any MCP-capable client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, n8n, Make, Zapier, custom agents) at this server and get fast, structured answers to Hungarian address questions:
- Validate a
(postcode, city) pair before storing it in your DB
- Look up the settlement and county for any HU postcode
- Find all postcodes that serve a given city (handy for Budapest: 23 districts, 100+ postcodes)
- List every postcode in a Hungarian county
- Map Budapest district numbers (1–23 or I–XXIII) to their postcode ranges
Tools
| Tool | Purpose | Price |
|---|
lookup_postcode(postcode) | Settlement + county + (if BP) district for a 4-digit HU postcode | $0.001 |
lookup_city(city) | All postcodes for a city (diacritic-insensitive — gyor matches Győr) | $0.001 |
validate_address(postcode, city) | yes/no + corrected suggestion if mismatch | $0.001 |
budapest_district_lookup(district) | Budapest I-XXIII (or 1-23) → list of postcodes in that district | $0.001 |
list_postcodes_in_county(county_name) | Bulk listing — every postcode in a county | $0.005 |
Example responses
lookup_postcode(1102)
{
"postcode": 1102,
"found": true,
"matches": [
{
"postcode": 1102,
"settlement": "Budapest",
"settlement_part": "X. kerület",
"county": "Budapest"
}
],
"budapest_district": "X."
}
validate_address(1102, "Szeged")
{
"valid": false,
"reason": "city_mismatch",
"postcode": 1102,
"city": "Szeged",
"expected_settlements": ["Budapest"]
}
budapest_district_lookup(14) (or "XIV") returns all postcodes in District XIV.
Pricing
| Event | USD per call |
|---|
lookup-call (most tools) | $0.001 |
bulk-call (list_postcodes_in_county) | $0.005 |
Effectively a free utility for occasional use; meaningful at high call volumes.
Data sources

- Non-Hungarian addresses (consider another MCP for those)
