What is the Nearmap MCP Server?
The Nearmap MCP Server gives AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor direct access to Nearmap via 10 tools. Manage geospatial data via Nearmap — retrieve high-res aerial imagery, extract AI features, and audit survey coverage. Powered by the Vinkius - no API keys, no infrastructure, connect in under 2 minutes.
Built-in capabilities (10)
Tools for your AI Agents to operate Nearmap
Ask your AI agent "Get the latest high-res vertical imagery for coordinates '34.0522,-118.2437'" and get the answer without opening a single dashboard. With 10 tools connected to real Nearmap 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.

Frequently asked questions about the Nearmap (High-Res Aerial Imagery & AI) MCP Server
How high is the resolution of Nearmap imagery compared to standard satellite maps?
Nearmap provides high-resolution aerial imagery at sub-15cm (approx. 6 inch) Ground Sample Distance (GSD). This is significantly sharper than typical satellite imagery (usually 30cm-50cm), allowing your agent to identify fine site details like roof vents, pavement cracks, or pool conditions.
Can my agent automatically detect solar panels or swimming pools on a property?
Yes. Use the get_ai_detected_features tool. Nearmap's AI analyzes recent surveys to return vector geometries for specific feature classes like 'Solar Panels' or 'Swimming Pools', including confidence thresholds and area measurements.
What is 'Oblique' imagery and how do I access it through the agent?
Oblique imagery is captured at a 45-degree angle rather than straight down. Use the get_oblique_tile tool and specify a direction (North, South, East, West). This allows your agent to audit building facades, structural heights, and side-view property details.
