About Mapbox (Maps & Geospatial) MCP Server
Connect your Mapbox account to any AI agent and take full control of world-class geocoding, navigation, and geospatial intelligence through natural conversation.
Claude Code registers Mapbox (Maps & Geospatial) as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 10 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Mapbox (Maps & Geospatial) data drives decisions without human intervention.
What you can do
- Geocoding & Search — Convert text addresses into precise geographic coordinates (GeoJSON) or perform reverse lookups to identify locations from GPS points directly
- Advanced Routing — Calculate driving, walking, or cycling directions between up to 25 points, including real-time traffic-aware ETA and turn-by-turn navigation data
- Trip Optimization — Solve the Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP) by determining the most efficient order to visit multiple coordinates to minimize travel time
- Isochrone Analysis — Compute reachable area polygons within specific travel times (e.g., 'What areas are within a 15-minute walk?') for urban planning and delivery logic
- Road Snapping — Align noisy or distorted GPS traces perfectly onto the road network using native map matching configurations for accurate tracking
- Geospatial Intelligence — Query high-resolution elevation data for any coordinate or generate static map image URLs for rapid visual verification
- Logistics Matrices — Compute all-to-all travel times and distances between multiple origins and destinations to optimize fleet management workflows
The Mapbox (Maps & Geospatial) MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Claude Code in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
