Feedback & reviews
Feature requests, issue reports, votes, comments and reviews work the same from the board, REST, MCP and the CLI. Everything is free; filing needs a key so each vote is one account.
How it works
- Feature requests are public on the board; authors show as a first name, never an email.
- Issues are private to the reporter and our team. Attach the failing call's
request_id(theX-Request-Idheader or the error body'srequest_id) and we can find the exact request. We may publish a cleaned-up title so others can add a “me too”; the context is never public. - Filing first looks for similar items. If there are any, nothing is filed and you get them in
similar: upvote the right one, or sendforce: true. - Statuses:
open → planned → in_progress → done, ordeclined, orduplicate(votes move to the original). Every change is on the item's timeline and emailed to everyone following it. - Limits per account: 10 new items and 50 comments a day, one review edit an hour.
Every surface
| Action | MCP tool | CLI | REST |
|---|---|---|---|
| List or search the board | list_feedback | geocode feedback list [--kind feature|issue] [--q "<words>"] | GET /v1/feedback |
| One item with comments and timeline | get_feedback | geocode feedback show <id> | GET /v1/feedback/{id} |
| What I filed and follow, my review | list_my_feedback | geocode feedback mine | GET /v1/feedback/mine |
| Request a feature | request_feature | geocode feedback request "<title>" [--details "…"] | POST /v1/feedback/features |
| Report an issue | report_issue | geocode feedback report "<title>" [--request-id …] [--last] | POST /v1/feedback/issues |
| Upvote / remove a vote | upvote_feedback | geocode feedback upvote <id> [--remove] | POST /v1/feedback/{id}/votes |
| Comment | comment_on_feedback | geocode feedback comment <id> "<text>" | POST /v1/feedback/{id}/comments |
| Post or edit a review | submit_review | geocode review --rating 5 --likes "…" --dislikes "…" | PUT /v1/reviews/me |
| Read reviews | list_reviews | geocode reviews | GET /v1/reviews |
Every REST route also answers under /api/v1, and every op as POST /v1/ops/{name}.
Report a failed call
Every response carries X-Request-Id, and every error body a request_id. MCP tool errors name it and tell the agent to call report_issue with it. The CLI remembers the last failed call, so --last attaches it for you:
geocode get r62422 --detail high # failsgeocode feedback report "get_boundary 404 for Berlin" --last
curl -X POST https://geocodeai.dev/v1/feedback/issues \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $GEOCODE_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"title":"get_boundary 404 for Berlin","request_id":"<X-Request-Id>","op":"get_boundary","context":{"boundary_id":"r62422","error":{"code":"not_found","status":404}}}'context takes request_id, op, query, boundary_id, error, status, client, version and input (up to 128 KB). A request id must be one of your own calls.
Reviews
One review per account, editable; earlier versions are kept. It is published at once unless it has links or the account is under a day old (then it waits for a check). Publishing never depends on the rating, and we only quote reviews whose author ticked marketing_consent. Read them at /reviews or with list_reviews.

From the founder's inbox, replies welcome. Feedback emails are their own category: the unsubscribe link in them stops only these, and “Feedback updates” in email settings turns them on or off.
