How to Use the IndoorAtlas (Indoor Positioning) MCP in Claude

Q: Does Claude Desktop support IndoorAtlas (Indoor Positioning) map generation?

It does. You trigger the radio map generation process via triggermapgeneration directly from your chat session, which handles the computation needed for accurate positioning.

Q: How do I troubleshoot positioning accuracy in Claude Desktop?

Use getfingerprintpaths to check if your calibration routes actually cover the problematic areas of your floor. If the paths are missing, your positioning logic won't have enough signal data to work correctly.

Manage your venues and analyze positioning traces directly in the Claude Desktop app using the IndoorAtlas (Indoor Positioning) MCP Server.

Full venue control in Claude Desktop

Get a clear view of your infrastructure by running `list_venues` to see every building registered in your organization. You can inspect specific metadata like floor counts and calibration status with `get_venue_details` to verify site readiness before you start field work. Creating new sites is straightforward. Use `create_venue` to initialize a location, then push your floorplan images using `upload_floorplan_geojson`. Once uploaded, trigger the backend processing with `trigger_map_generation` to enable location services.

Analyze movement data in Claude Desktop

Pull historical logs with `list_positioning_sessions` to identify dwell patterns or path bottlenecks. When you need to see exactly where a device traveled, `get_session_data` provides the full coordinate trace for deep behavioral analysis. If your positioning accuracy is drifting, use `get_fingerprint_paths` to visualize the calibration routes taken by surveyors. This helps you identify gaps in signal coverage so you can send a technician back to collect data in the right spots.

Server-side positioning for Claude Desktop

Perform precise location lookups without the mobile SDK by using `position_from_wifi_scan`. Just feed the observed signal strengths from your local environment into the tool, and it returns the calculated coordinates and floor level. This is ideal for testing your indoor infrastructure from your workstation. You get real-time feedback on your setup without needing to walk the floor yourself.
