Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server for historical borders and dated map events, with tools to look up polities, search events, and build map-video links.

What you can do
  • List states, empires and cultures with border snapshots for a given year, optionally within a region
  • Look up a polity by name, Wikidata label or QID and get its lifespan, border snapshots and links
  • Search dated map events: battles, armed conflicts since 1989, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, meteorite falls and World Heritage sites
  • Build a link to RewindMap's short-video maker preloaded with a borders-over-time map clip
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs historical geography: which polities existed in a year, where a state's borders were, or when and where a battle, eruption or earthquake happened, and for producing a shareable map-animation link.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint at rewindmap.com; no package, account, API key or environment variable is declared. Network access to the endpoint is required.
Before you install
Coverage is incomplete, so an empty result does not prove historical absence, and date filters only match events recorded at that precision. Video links open a third-party site where the downloaded MP4 is watermarked.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open RewindMap in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.rewindmap%2Frewindmap/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

world_at_year

World map at a year

List states, empires and cultures with an OpenHistoricalMap border snapshot in a given year, optionally overlapping a region. Coverage is incomplete; an empty result does not establish historical absence.

Parametersbboxlangyearrequired

find_polity

Find a state or empire

Look up a state or empire by name or any of its Wikidata labels and aliases (substring, case-insensitive), or by Wikidata QID. Returns its lifespan, every border snapshot with its bounding box, and links.

Parameterslangqueryrequired

search_events

Search historical events

Search map events: battles (Wikidata), UCDP armed-conflict events since 1989, volcanic eruptions VEI 4+ (Smithsonian GVP), significant earthquakes (NOAA), witnessed meteorite falls, and UNESCO World Heritage sites (undated). Month/day bounds match only events recorded at least that precisely; undated heritage sites match only searches without a date bound. Results are sorted by date.

75% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
