Overview

What is Mapbox MCP Server?

The Mapbox MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that integrates with the Mapbox API, providing navigation and search tools for AI assistants like Claude Desktop. It is designed for developers who need to access Mapbox services—such as directions, matrices, and geocoding—through MCP-compatible clients.

How to use Mapbox MCP Server?

Install Node.js 16+, TypeScript 4.5+, and obtain a Mapbox API key. Export the key as environment variable MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN. Add the server configuration to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json) with the command pointing to the built server file. Invoke the provided MCP tools for navigation and search.

What tools does the server provide?

Five tools: `mapbox_directions`, `mapbox_directions_by_places`, `mapbox_matrix`, `mapbox_matrix_by_places`, and `mapbox_geocoding`. Each accepts optional parameters for profile, language, and more.
