How to Use the Mapillary MCP in CrewAI
Deploy autonomous monitoring crews in CrewAI to audit urban infrastructure with Mapillary.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Mapillary MCP to CrewAI
Create your Vinkius account to connect Mapillary to CrewAI and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Autonomous monitoring with CrewAI
Assign a dedicated agent to run `search_images` across your target city. The agent acts as a scout, finding the latest imagery for your crew to analyze. Once images are found, the agent uses `get_image` to grab the specific capture time. This helps your crew prioritize the most recent data for their reports.
Infrastructure analysis with CrewAI
Task your analysis agent with `get_map_features` to extract sign locations. The agent compares these locations against your internal GIS database. If the agent finds a discrepancy, it triggers `get_image_detections` to verify the visual evidence. This creates a closed-loop system for infrastructure maintenance.
Coordinate multi-agent crews with CrewAI
Use `search_sequences` to define the scope of work for your entire crew. Each agent can take a different segment of the sequence to process in parallel. Your moderator agent uses `get_sequence` to assemble the final report. This allows your team to cover thousands of miles without human input.
