Perplexity

End-to-end mapping with this MCP Server.

You ask for a road network, and the agent figures out the rest. `list_models` tells Cline exactly which geospatial models handle that specific extraction. Setup takes seconds. Cline fires off `create_project` to build the workspace and configures the environment variables before writing a single line of application code.

Executing the imagery analysis.

`create_processing` accepts your JSON string of target coordinates and starts the heavy lifting. Cline formats the payload, sends it, and immediately sets up a polling loop. You never have to write the retry logic. The agent calls `get_processing_status` repeatedly, handling any rate limits or delays while the satellite data processes.

Writing vector data to your local files.

`get_processing_result` pulls the finished polygons down. Cline takes that raw data and writes it directly into a `.geojson` file in your repository. It cleans up after itself too. The agent can use `list_projects` and `list_processings` to audit your account, ensuring you aren't leaving expensive jobs running in the background.

Common questions about Mapflow MCP in Cline

Open the Cline sidebar and click the MCP icon. You can use the Remote Servers tab to add the Streamable HTTP URL or edit `cline_mcp_settings.json` directly.

Absolutely. It will extract the building footprints, save them locally, and write a complete React component using Leaflet or Mapbox to display them.

You need a valid API token to process imagery. The agent uses your credentials to authenticate, so standard processing rates apply based on the square footage analyzed.

Just ask the agent to show your history. It will hit the projects endpoint and print a formatted table right in your editor terminal.

Your custom GeoTIFF links and API tokens never persist. The MCP infrastructure processes your extraction requests within an ephemeral sandbox that destroys the runtime state entirely after returning the vector data.
