About Jawg Maps (Location & Routing) MCP Server
Connect your Jawg Maps account to any AI agent and take full control of professional map services and geospatial analytics through natural conversation.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Jawg Maps (Location & Routing) data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
What you can do
- Place Search & Geocoding — Find addresses and points of interest (POI) by text or resolve GPS coordinates to physical locations directly from your agent
- Advanced Routing — Calculate optimal paths for driving, biking, or walking with support for multiple waypoints and transportation profiles
- Distance Matrices — Compute massive travel time and distance tables between multiple origins and destinations for logistics optimization
- Reachability Isochrones — Visualize reachable areas from a center point based on precise travel time or distance limits (drive-time polygons)
- Elevation Profiles — Retrieve the altitude and elevation above sea level for specific coordinates or along a calculated route path
- Geo-Filtering — Perform restricted searches within specific ISO country borders to ensure data accuracy and regional compliance
The Jawg Maps (Location & Routing) MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
