No security.txt, disclosure policy, bug bounty or certification was found, and the specs recommend sending the key in the URL.\n\n**Woosmap.** Woosmap publishes an OpenAPI 3.1 spec, llms.txt with Markdown pages, per-endpoint rate limits and 429 retry rules, plus a hosted nine-tool MCP server. No changelog, security.txt, API data retention statement or readable per-request price was found, and private keys can travel in the query string.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Geoapify Location Platform + MCP\n\n1. Send the key as x-api-key, which the specs support, rather than apiKey in the URL\n2. Use api-eu.geoapify.com when the data has to stay on EU infrastructure\n3. Use calculate_route for geometry and directions, and calculate_route_matrix only for travel times between many points\n4. Read a 429 'Quota exceeded' as the day's credits being gone, not a burst, and wait for the daily reset\n5. Show OpenStreetMap attribution wherever you display results\n\n### Woosmap\n\n1. Send the private key in the X-Api-Key header, not the private_key query parameter\n2. Use a read-only private key for the MCP server unless the task writes stores or datasets\n3. On 429 wait the `t` seconds from the RateLimit header, retry at most three times, and pause batches when `r` reaches 0\n4. Use find_stores_nearby for the customer's own locations and find_nearby for public POIs\n5. Read endpoint parameters from the /api-reference/ Markdown pages, which llms.txt marks as authoritative\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Geoapify Location Platform + MCP or Woosmap?\n\nWoosmap scores 59.4 (C) on agent readiness against Geoapify Location Platform + MCP's 58.1 (C), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories.
