About Mapbox MCP Server
Connect to Mapbox and access world-class location services through natural conversation.
Mastra's agent abstraction provides a clean separation between LLM logic and Mapbox tool infrastructure. Connect 8 tools through Vinkius and use Mastra's built-in workflow engine to chain tool calls with conditional logic, retries, and parallel execution. deployable to any Node.js host in one command.
What you can do
- Geocoding — Convert addresses, place names and POIs to coordinates and structured addresses
- Reverse Geocoding — Convert GPS coordinates to human-readable addresses
- Directions — Get driving, walking and cycling routes with step-by-step instructions
- Distance Matrix — Calculate travel times and distances between multiple locations
- Isochrones — Show areas reachable within a specific time or distance
- Elevation — Get elevation data for any coordinates
- Static Maps — Generate map image URLs for any location
- Nearby Search — Find points of interest near coordinates
The Mapbox MCP Server exposes 8 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Mastra AI in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Mapbox MCP Tools for Mastra AI (8)
These 8 tools become available when you connect Mapbox to Mastra AI via MCP:
geocode
Returns 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
get_directions
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
get_distance_matrix
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
get_elevation
Useful for hiking, aviation and geographic research. Coordinates are comma-separated "lon,lat" pairs. Get elevation for coordinates
get_isochrone
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
get_static_map
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
reverse_geocode
Returns the nearest address, city, state, country and other location details. Convert coordinates to an address
search_nearby
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
