What is the Pointr MCP Server?
Bring deep indoor location intelligence directly to your AI operations using the Pointr network. This MCP integration securely bridges your LLM to complex structural databases plotting multi-floor layouts, indoor geo-fencing, and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon networks. Instead of navigating complicated dashboards to audit facility paths, simply instruct your local Agent to parse physical building parameters perfectly.
What you can do
- Facility Exploration — Understand global deployments natively. Run
list_buildingsandlist_levelsto mathematically visualize vertical architectures and floor limits. - Precision Wayfinding — Query active Point of Interest objects. The agent leverages
search_poisto find specific gates/stores, and dynamically invokescalculate_pathpredicting multi-floor walking paths avoiding structural walls. - Infrastructure Auditing — Ask the AI to evaluate BLE hardware mesh footprints using the
list_beaconsutility, verifying precisely where physical network sensors reside inside map geometries. - Geo-Fence Parsing — Interrogate proactive indoor trigger zones.
list_geofencesbrings back complex logical polygons mapping where local alerts fire globally.
How it works
- Append the Pointr connector directly into your MCP cluster
- Introduce your explicit Enterprise Bearer Token into the configuration vault
- Begin instructing your LLM to dissect and verify massive indoor mapping models natively
Who is this for?
- Facilities Managers — script AI routines to passively ping
list_beaconsand cross-reference them against active floor geometries to spot offline hardware. - Spatial Data Engineers — command the assistant to extract massive layout configurations using
get_level_mapisolating routing constraints directly into code context. - Aviation & Retail Planners — ask the LLM to run batch test queries calling
calculate_pathto simulate crowd flow and optimal step logic across massive airport or mall nodes.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
