Its extended emission could be powered by either a single or several sources. The GeV pulsar AGL J2020.5+3653 discovered by AGILE and associated with PSR J2021+3651 could contribute to the emission from MGRO J2019+37. The aim of this paper is to identify radio and near-infrared sources in the field of the extended TeV source MGRO J2019+37, and study potential counterparts to explain its emission. We surveyed a region of about 6 square degrees with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) at the frequency 610MHz. We also observed the central square degree of this survey in the near-infrared Ks-band using the 3.5m telescope in Calar Alto. Archival X-ray observations of some specific fields are included. VLBI observations of an interesting radio source were performed. We explored possible scenarios to produce the multi-TeV emission from MGRO J2019+37 and studied which of the sources could be the main particle accelerator. Description: This table contains information about all radio sources detected with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) of the National Centre for Radio Astrophysics (NCRA) in Khodad (India) in the MGRO J2019+37 region. The observations were carried out at 610MHz (49cm wavelength) in July 2007. An hexagonal pattern of 19 pointings was designed in order to cover the region of 2.5 square degree centered on the MGRO J2019+37 peak of emission. The list of sources was determined using the SExtractor automatic procedure over our 5" resolution radio mosaic. Only sources with peak ux density higher than about ten times the local noise after primary beam correction were included. There are 42 of the 362 detected radio sources inside the area imaged in the near-infrared Ks-band. A total of 6 out of these 42 sources have a near-infrared counterpart candidate within 0.6" of their radio position. On the other hand, a total of 41 of the 362 radio sources are located in fields observed in X-rays. In this case, 5 of the 41 radio sources have an X-ray counterpart candidate within 5" (the typical uncertainty for XMM-Newton). Both, the Ks magnitude and the X-ray flux, are listed when available.
