What is the IndoorAtlas (Indoor Positioning) MCP Server?
Connect your IndoorAtlas account to any AI agent and take full control of your smart building infrastructure and indoor positioning services through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Venue Management — List all registered indoor venues and retrieve detailed metadata including geographic anchor points and floor counts directly from your agent
- Floorplan Orchestration — Upload new floor plans as GeoJSON and manage geo-referencing to real-world coordinates for accurate indoor positioning
- Map Generation — Trigger the radio map generation process to compute positioning models from signal fingerprint data and floor geometry
- Analytics & Sessions — Retrieve historical positioning sessions and trace data to analyze occupancy patterns, dwell times, and path optimization
- Wi-Fi Positioning — Determine indoor location from Wi-Fi scans using the Positioning API to receive estimated coordinates and floor levels
- Calibration Audit — Inspect fingerprinting walk paths to assess calibration coverage and identify areas needing additional signal mapping
How it works

- Operations Managers — audit occupancy analytics and positioning session data to optimize building usage and visitor flows
Built-in capabilities (10)
The venue serves as the top-level container for floor plans and positioning data. After creation, upload floor plan images and calibrate for positioning accuracy. Create a new indoor venue in the IndoorAtlas platform by specifying the building name, geographic coordinates of the entrance, and initial configuration parameters for indoor positioning deployment
Returns GeoJSON LineString features representing calibration paths. Use to assess calibration coverage and identify areas of the floor that need additional fingerprinting for better positioning accuracy. Retrieve the fingerprinting walk paths recorded for a specific floor plan as GeoJSON, showing the routes surveyors walked while collecting Wi-Fi/BLE signal data for positioning calibration
Returns the complete position trace as a series of timestamped fixes. Use for path visualization, behavioral analysis, and positioning quality assessment. Large sessions may contain thousands of position fixes. Retrieve the full positioning trace data for a specific IndoorAtlas session, including timestamped coordinate fixes, floor transitions, accuracy metrics, and sensor readings throughout the session duration
Returns the venue configuration including coordinate reference, building dimensions, and mapping completeness metrics. Use to inspect a venue before deploying positioning or wayfinding features. Retrieve detailed metadata for a specific IndoorAtlas venue including its geographic anchor point, floor count, total mapped area, calibration status, and associated floor plan identifiers
Returns an array of floor plan metadata objects ordered by floor number. Each entry includes the plan dimensions, pixel-to-meter scale, and whether radio map generation has been completed. List all floor plans uploaded to a specific IndoorAtlas venue, returning floor plan IDs, floor numbers, dimensions, geo-alignment status, and map generation readiness for each level of the building
Returns a paginated list of positioning sessions. Each session represents a continuous period of indoor tracking by a single device. Use for occupancy analytics, dwell time analysis, and path optimization studies. List historical indoor positioning sessions recorded by IndoorAtlas, returning session IDs, start/end times, venue associations, and device information for analytics and path replay
Returns an array of venue objects. Each venue represents a physical building that has been set up for indoor positioning. Use to discover available venues before requesting floor plans or positioning data. List all indoor venues registered in your IndoorAtlas organization, returning venue IDs, names, geographic coordinates, and configuration status for each mapped building or facility
Returns estimated coordinates with uncertainty radius. Use for server-side positioning when mobile SDK integration is not feasible. Determine indoor position from a Wi-Fi access point scan using the IndoorAtlas Positioning API, submitting observed signal strengths to receive a calculated latitude, longitude, floor level, and accuracy estimate
This is a critical step — positioning will not work on a floor until map generation completes successfully. The process is asynchronous and may take several minutes depending on floor plan complexity. Trigger the IndoorAtlas radio map generation process for a specific floor plan, initiating the server-side computation that creates the positioning model from fingerprint data and floor plan geometry
After upload, trigger map generation to enable positioning on this floor. Upload a new floor plan to an IndoorAtlas venue as a GeoJSON document, geo-referencing the indoor map image to real-world coordinates for accurate positioning overlay

Frequently asked questions
How do I start the map generation process for a new floor plan?
Use the trigger_map_generation tool with your Floorplan ID. This initiates the server-side computation that creates the positioning model. It's a critical step before indoor positioning can work on that level.
Can I determine a position using Wi-Fi scans through my agent?
Yes. The position_from_wifi_scan tool allows you to submit observed Wi-Fi signal strengths. Your agent will return estimated coordinates and floor level, which is perfect for server-side positioning logic.
How can I analyze visitor traffic patterns in our building?
Use the list_positioning_sessions tool to retrieve historical traces. Your agent can help you analyze occupancy patterns and dwell times by processing the timestamped coordinate fixes from past sessions.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
