Vinkius supports streamable HTTP and SSE.

* Every MCP server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS - a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
What is the Mapbox MCP Server?
The Mapbox MCP Server gives AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor direct access to Mapbox via 8 tools. Geocode addresses, get directions, calculate distances and generate maps with Mapbox's location platform. Powered by the Vinkius - no API keys, no infrastructure, connect in under 2 minutes.
Built-in capabilities (8)
Tools for your AI Agents to operate Mapbox
Ask your AI agent "Geocode '1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington DC'." and get the answer without opening a single dashboard. With 8 tools connected to real Mapbox data, your agents reason over live information, cross-reference it with other MCP servers, and deliver insights you would spend hours assembling manually.
Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. Powered by the Vinkius - your credentials never touch the AI model, every request is auditable. Connect in under two minutes.
Why teams choose Vinkius
One subscription gives you access to thousands of MCP servers - and you can deploy your own to the Vinkius Edge. Your AI agents only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure and security, zero maintenance.

Mapbox MCP Server capabilities
8 toolsReturns the place name, coordinates, address components (street, city, state, postal code, country), place type and bounding box. Use this to find coordinates for use with directions, distance matrix and other tools. Convert a place name to coordinates
Returns route distance, duration, geometry, step-by-step instructions and maneuver data. Supports driving (mapbox/driving), walking (mapbox/walking) and cycling (mapbox/cycling) profiles. Coordinates are semicolon-separated "longitude,latitude" pairs (e.g. "-77.0365,38.8977;-74.006,40.7128" for DC to NYC). Get driving, walking or cycling directions
Useful for logistics, delivery routing and travel planning. Returns a matrix of durations (seconds) and distances (meters) between all source-destination pairs. Coordinates are semicolon-separated "lon,lat" pairs. Supports driving, walking and cycling profiles. Get travel times between multiple origins and destinations
Useful for hiking, aviation and geographic research. Coordinates are comma-separated "lon,lat" pairs. Get elevation for coordinates
Returns polygon contours showing the reachable area. Useful for determining service areas, commute ranges and accessibility. Coordinates are "lon,lat". Get reachable area within a time or distance
Returns a direct image URL that can be used in markdown, HTML or downloaded. Supports customizable zoom level and image dimensions. Generate a static map image for a location
Returns the nearest address, city, state, country and other location details. Convert coordinates to an address
Returns nearby places with names, addresses, categories, distances and coordinates. Use query to search for specific types of places (e.g. "restaurant", "gas station", "hotel"). Search for places near coordinates
What the Mapbox MCP Server unlocks
Connect to Mapbox and access world-class location services through natural conversation.

Frequently asked questions about the Mapbox MCP Server
How do I get a Mapbox Access Token?
Sign up for a free account at account.mapbox.com, go to Access Tokens and create a new token. Copy the token — it starts with pk..
Can I get driving directions?
Yes! Use get_directions with coordinates and the 'driving' profile. Returns route distance, duration, step-by-step instructions and geometry. Also supports 'walking' and 'cycling' profiles.
What are isochrones used for?
Isochrones show the area reachable within a specific time or distance from a location. Useful for delivery zones, commute analysis, real estate proximity and accessibility planning.
Can I calculate distances between multiple locations?
Yes! Use get_distance_matrix with multiple coordinate pairs. Returns a matrix of durations (seconds) and distances (meters) between all source-destination pairs. Supports driving, walking and cycling profiles.
