What you can do with this MCP connector
Your AI client uses the list_buildings tool to get a master list of every structure registered with Pointr. From that, it calls list_levels using a specific building ID to map out all the distinct floor levels available in that building.
Once you know the scope—the buildings and the floors—you can use get_building to pull the complete structural configuration data for any single location. This tells your agent exactly what's going on inside, giving it a full model of the environment.
If you need floor plans, calling get_level_map gives you the detailed map data for whatever level you specify. You can also use list_pois to get an exhaustive list of every single Point of Interest (POI) in the entire system. If that list is too long, try search_pois; it lets your agent narrow down POIs using simple keywords—you don't need the ID to find a gate or a store.
The server provides specific details on any given location via get_poi, which pulls all the granular information for one single Point of Interest.
For navigation, you use calculate_path to determine the optimal walking route between two points. This isn't just drawing a line; it calculates paths that account for structural transitions across multiple floors, like stairs or escalators.
To audit what’s actually physically in the building, your agent uses list_beacons to list every registered BLE beacon and pinpoints its exact location on the map geometry. It also manages network alerts by calling list_geofences, which returns all configured internal trigger zones—those complex polygons used for triggering specific local warnings.
The Pointr MCP Server lets your agent understand space itself, treating the building as a structured database of physical reality.
How Pointr MCP Works
- 1 Append the Pointr connector to your MCP cluster and input your Enterprise Bearer Token.
- 2 Instruct your agent to identify the scope of work, perhaps by running
list_buildingsfirst. - 3 The agent then sequences calls (e.g., using
get_level_map, followed bycalculate_path) to analyze the physical location data and deliver a structured result.
The bottom line is: it lets your AI client treat massive indoor maps like simple, navigable code objects.
Who Is Pointr MCP For?
Facilities Managers need this when they're stuck clicking through outdated PDFs to find a maintenance panel or spot an offline beacon. Spatial Data Engineers use it when they must extract structured layout data for simulation. Aviation Planners rely on it to model crowd flow before construction starts.
Uses list_beacons and compares the list against active floor geometries to pinpoint hardware that's offline or missing.
Commands the agent to extract large layout configurations using get_level_map, isolating routing constraints directly into code context for analysis.
Runs batch test queries calling calculate_path to simulate customer flow and optimize step logic across a mall or airport area.
What Changes When You Connect
- Find the exact path between two points, even if it crosses multiple floors.
calculate_pathsolves for structural transitions like escalators, giving you a continuous route array. - Audit your hardware footprint by running
list_beacons. You can check every registered BLE sensor and verify its precise location against the current building geometry to spot gaps. - Understand the full scope of an asset. Use
get_buildingorget_level_mapto pull detailed structural data for any specific site, isolating routing constraints into code context. - Quickly locate amenities. Instead of sifting through thousands of records, use
search_poisto find a restroom or gate just by typing keywords. - Manage alert zones efficiently. Running
list_geofencesbrings back every complex polygon defined for proactive indoor triggers, letting you audit your entire warning system at once.
Real-World Use Cases
Finding a missing piece of equipment
A maintenance worker needs to locate a specific junction box in Building X. They run list_buildings first, then use get_building for the ID, followed by list_levels to get floor 2 map data, and finally search_pois with 'junction box' to pinpoint the exact location.
Simulating crowd evacuation flow
A retail planner needs to test an emergency exit route. They call calculate_path, specifying the start POI and end POI, forcing the system to calculate the safest route across multiple floors, ensuring no structural walls are crossed.
Checking beacon coverage after renovations
The facilities team suspects a dead zone. They call list_beacons to see all active hardware and then use get_level_map for the affected floor plan, cross-referencing the list against the map to find gaps.
Auditing multi-zone alerts
The safety team needs to know what areas trigger local alarms. They run list_geofences to pull every active alert polygon, allowing them to verify if all critical zones (like fire exits) are correctly mapped.
The Tradeoffs
Treating it like simple GPS coordinates
Trying to ask the agent for 'the path from A to B' without specifying floors or POIs, resulting in vague error messages about missing structural context.
→
Always start by identifying the scope. Use list_buildings and then drill down with get_level_map. Finally, feed those specific coordinates into calculate_path for a reliable route.
Searching only by POI name
Asking to 'find the restroom' when the building has 50 similar rooms. The agent returns too many results without knowing which floor or wing you mean.
→
Combine tools: first run get_building to narrow down the structure, then use search_pois with keywords AND the correct level ID.
Ignoring beacon deployment status
Assuming that because a POI exists on the map, there's necessarily functioning hardware. The agent reports location data but doesn't know if the sensor is active.
→
Always run list_beacons alongside your mapping queries. This verifies not just where the point should be, but where the physical network actually resides.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this Pointr MCP Server if your core problem involves location in a complex, multi-layered structure (e.g., airports, hospitals, massive malls). You need to know about structural boundaries, floor transitions, and physical asset placement. Specifically, you must use it when: 1) You need to calculate movement across floors (calculate_path). 2) You need to audit hardware coverage (list_beacons + get_level_map). 3) Your POIs are complex or require fuzzy searching (search_pois).
Don't use this if you only need basic street-level navigation (use standard mapping services). Don't use it if your location data is simple, single-floor, and doesn't involve beacons. If you just want a list of all known locations without pathing or structural context, list_pois might be enough, but for any operational task, you need the depth this server provides.

Available Capabilities
Finding an asset inside a massive building shouldn't require five different dashboards.
Right now, locating anything complex—like a specific gate or junction box in a mall—is a nightmare. You start on the main facility dashboard, click to see floors, then open a separate POI map tool, and if you're lucky, you find the beacon list somewhere else. It’s constant context switching and manual cross-referencing.
With Pointr MCP, your agent handles it all in one flow. You just tell it what you need—say, 'Where is the circuit breaker for Sector 4?' The system uses `list_buildings` to scope the area, runs `search_pois` to find the asset, and gives you its exact location without you clicking a single link.
Pointr MCP Server: Get precise paths and POI details with Pointr.
Before this server, calculating a path from the ground floor to a meeting room on Level 4 required multiple manual steps: get the building ID, find the level IDs (Ground and 4), then feed those into the pathing tool. It was brittle and time-consuming.
Now you just ask your agent for the route between two POIs. The `calculate_path` tool handles the entire journey—the vertical shift via escalator node identification and the horizontal travel on Level 4—in a single, reliable function call.
Common Questions About Pointr MCP
How do I find all registered assets using list_beacons? +
Run list_beacons to get an exhaustive inventory of every beacon. This tool returns the unique ID and the precise location coordinates for each deployed sensor on the platform.
Can I calculate a path across multiple floors using calculate_path? +
Yes, calculate_path is designed to solve multi-story routing. It accounts for structural transitions like escalators and stairs when calculating the optimal sequence of movement.
What if I only know a general area name? Can search_pois help? +
You can use search_pois with keywords (like 'restroom' or 'loading dock'). The tool finds all matching POIs and lets you filter by specific building or level.
Do I need to run get_building first before listing levels? +
Yes. list_levels requires a valid building ID. You should always use get_building or know the target Building UUID first to ensure you're looking at the correct structure.
How do I ensure my credentials are correctly configured when running list_buildings? +
You must provide a valid Enterprise Bearer Token in the configuration vault. This token needs read scope access across all registered Pointr facilities to successfully map and retrieve building data.
What structured format does get_level_map use when retrieving floor plan data? +
It returns geo-JSON polygons defining the precise boundaries of a specific building level. Your agent can parse these coordinates directly to calculate structural constraints and room layouts.
After running search_pois, how do I get comprehensive details using get_poi? +
You must pass the unique POI ID found during your search into get_poi. This call retrieves specific metrics like operational hours, associated geofences, and full physical coordinates.
If I use list_geofences, how does the system handle overlapping logical polygons? +
The platform validates all geometries. If multiple zones overlap, it automatically merges them into a single, comprehensive polygon boundary. This prevents data redundancy and ensures accurate alert triggers.
Can the agent calculate walking paths across multiple floors? +
Yes. When triggering calculate_path supplied with explicit coordinate pairings spanning different Level UUIDs, the Pointr engine bridges the wayfinding automatically. It factors in fixed transitions like elevators or stairs natively, feeding the Agent the comprehensive turn-by-turn array in JSON format seamlessly.
Is it possible to extract the giant raw map shapes for a given floor? +
Absolutely. By initiating the query get_level_map tied securely to a single level UUID, the interface processes and downloads massive explicit geometries mapping out physical walls, traversable space nodes, and internal partitions explicitly generated by the Pointr pipeline.
Can I search for specific stores or bathrooms using text queries? +
Yes. Pointr exposes dense fuzzy logic matching indexes. When the Agent executes search_pois feeding a literal keyword alongside the Target Building ID, it reliably unearths precisely mapped nodes conforming to 'Restroom', 'Exit', or custom store names embedded dynamically.
