Perplexity

Instant Map and Layer Management

Use `create_map` to spin up new collaborative projects directly from your chat window. You can organize your geographic data by piping files into `create_layer` without leaving the app. This setup saves you from manual exports. Once your layers are live, you have full control over the map state from the Claude Desktop interface.

Real-time Element Manipulation

Need to tweak a specific location? Use `update_element` to push changes to your map instantly. You can also clean up outdated information using `delete_element` to keep your workspace accurate. Everything happens in real-time. Your AI client handles the coordinates so you can focus on the patterns in your data rather than the underlying API syntax.

Detailed Spatial Data Retrieval

Run `get_map` or `get_layer` to pull current metadata into your conversation. This gives you a clear view of your project status before you decide on your next edit. It works by fetching the exact state of your map. You'll never guess what's currently rendered, as the MCP Server provides the raw data your AI client needs to make informed updates.
