Overview

What is Mapbox MCP Server?

Mapbox MCP Server is a Node.js implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that provides access to Mapbox APIs. It allows AI agents and MCP-compatible clients to perform geospatial tasks such as routing, geocoding, place search, static map generation, and isochrone calculations using a Mapbox access token.

How to use Mapbox MCP Server?

Configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop, VS Code) with a Mapbox access token. Build the server with npm run build, then inspect it using npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node dist/index.js or run via Docker. Detailed setup guides for Claude Desktop and VS Code are provided in the docs/ folder.

Key features of Mapbox MCP Server

  • Matrix tool: Calculate travel times and distances between multiple points
  • Static image tool: Generate custom static map images with markers and overlays
  • POI search tool: Find specific points of interest or brand locations by name
  • Category search tool: Search for places by category (restaurants, hotels, etc.)
  • Forward and reverse geocoding tools: Convert addresses to coordinates and vice versa
  • Directions tool: Fetch routing directions with multiple profiles and waypoints
  • Isochrone tool: Compute reachable areas within specified travel times or distances

Use cases of Mapbox MCP Server

  • Route planning: Generate driving, walking, or cycling directions with traffic-aware schedules
  • Place discovery: Find nearby points of interest or branches of a specific brand
  • Geocoding workflows: Transform addresses to coordinates for analysis or mapping
  • Static map generation: Produce custom map images for reports or dashboards
  • Accessibility analysis: Compute isochrones to determine service coverage areas
