About Stadia Maps MCP Server
Imbue your artificial intelligence environment with the geospatial and routing capabilities of Stadia Maps. Seamlessly audit logistical questions and compute optimal transit routes across numerous delivery points without leaving your conversational interface. Empower your assistant to translate standard addresses into precise geographic coordinates, calculate time-and-distance matrices objectively, or parse topographical elevation data efficiently, connecting global mapping infrastructure directly to your local workflows.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Stadia Maps tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Geospatial Coordination — Convert physical addresses into exact coordinates using
forward_geocode, or deduce properties from latitude and longitude viareverse_geocode. - Route Computation — Instruct your AI to generate accurate driving vectors between locations via
calculate_route, and establish extensive routing cost-matrices utilizingcalculate_distance_matrix. - Logistical Optimization — Resolve complex routing problems automatically with
optimized_trip_route, and map exact reachable perimeters utilizingcalculate_isochrone. - Topography & Precision — Align raw GPS tracks to official street networks accurately with
execute_map_matching, and retrieve detailed elevation metrics applyingget_path_elevation.
The Stadia Maps MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
