Overview

What is Mapbox MCP Server?

Mapbox MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that integrates with the Mapbox API to provide navigation and geocoding tools. It is designed for AI assistants like Claude to enable route planning, travel time matrices, and place search through natural language interactions.

How to use Mapbox MCP Server?

Install Node.js 16+, TypeScript 4.5+, and obtain a Mapbox API key. Add the server configuration to your Claude Desktop config file (claude_desktop_config.json) with the command node, an absolute path to the built server, and the MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable. Then invoke tools like mapbox_directions, mapbox_matrix, or mapbox_geocoding with the required parameters.

Key features of Mapbox MCP Server

  • Directions between coordinates or place names
  • Travel time and distance matrices for multiple points
  • Geocoding places into coordinates with fuzzy matching
  • Support for multiple travel profiles (driving, walking, cycling)
  • Language selection for geocoding and route results
  • Comprehensive error handling for all API calls

Use cases of Mapbox MCP Server

  • Get turn-by-turn directions between two or more addresses
  • Calculate travel time matrices for logistics or delivery planning
  • Convert place names or addresses to geographic coordinates
  • Find nearby points of interest with type filtering
  • Compare travel times and distances across different profiles
