Mapbox Alternative MCP. Calculate routes, query layers, and build maps with simple prompts.

Listen up. This server lets your AI client handle heavy-duty mapping and geospatial work right from chat. You don't need a whole separate stack of services; you just talk to your agent, and it handles the coordinates, routes, and data pulls for ya.

Finding Locations (Search & Geocoding)
You can nail down any address or point of interest using interactive searches. When you start typing a location name, the system uses searchbox_suggest to give you real-time autocomplete options. Once you pick one, running searchbox_forward performs an initial search lookup for that spot. If you need all the details—like the full address and geometry—you use searchbox_retrieve.

Need to work backward? Use geocode_reverse; it takes coordinates (lat/lon) and tells you what street address they belong to. For the opposite, if you have an address string but need the exact numbers, run geocode_forward to find the nearest valid location based on your set of coordinates.

If you're dealing with a bunch of addresses at once—say, a whole list for a mailing campaign—you batch them up using geocode_batch, and it converts all those names into coordinates in one go. To check what specific address a set of coordinates is closest to, you use geocode_forward again.

Calculating Routes & Movement (The Hard Stuff)
This is where the power's at. You can calculate turn-by-turn driving directions and get time estimates using get_directions. If you need to know how long it takes to get between multiple points, or what the distance is for a bunch of different spots simultaneously, run get_matrix.

For complex trips—like having a delivery driver hit five different stops and needing the absolute shortest path—you use get_optimization. You can also feed those multi-stop problems into submit_optimization to solve them for your whole fleet. Beyond simple driving, you can figure out areas reachable within a specific time or distance using get_isochrone, which computes that required shape.

Working with Data & Maps (Datasets and Tiles)
You don't just get lines on a map; you get data. You first check what datasets are available to you by calling list_datasets. Once you know the dataset, you can pull specific points of interest or data features using get_dataset_feature, and if that feature needs correcting, run update_dataset_feature.

When you need to pinpoint exactly what kind of data lives at a precise spot on the map (a latitude and longitude), use get_tilequery. If you're downloading raw structured geometry for advanced processing, get_vector_tile gives you that Mapbox Vector Tile (MVT) format. For standard images, get_raster_tile downloads a basic image tile (PNG or JPG).

You can also create and manage custom map layers: use create_tileset_source to build your source for the Tiling Service, then you can make it public with publish_tileset. To generate a single, viewable JPEG of a specific area at a given zoom level, run get_static_image.

Utility and Account Management
To get started or manage access, the system lets you handle tokens. You can create a new secure token using create_token, see every token stored on your profile with list_tokens, delete old ones with delete_token, and review all of that history by calling list_tokens. If you want to pass along any thoughts about how the service works, use get_feedback or submit_feedback.
