What is the Mapbox (Maps & Geospatial) MCP Server?
Connect your Mapbox account to any AI agent and take full control of world-class geocoding, navigation, and geospatial intelligence through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Geocoding & Search — Convert text addresses into precise geographic coordinates (GeoJSON) or perform reverse lookups to identify locations from GPS points directly
- Advanced Routing — Calculate driving, walking, or cycling directions between up to 25 points, including real-time traffic-aware ETA and turn-by-turn navigation data
- Trip Optimization — Solve the Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP) by determining the most efficient order to visit multiple coordinates to minimize travel time
- Isochrone Analysis — Compute reachable area polygons within specific travel times (e.g., 'What areas are within a 15-minute walk?') for urban planning and delivery logic
- Road Snapping — Align noisy or distorted GPS traces perfectly onto the road network using native map matching configurations for accurate tracking
- Geospatial Intelligence — Query high-resolution elevation data for any coordinate or generate static map image URLs for rapid visual verification
- Logistics Matrices — Compute all-to-all travel times and distances between multiple origins and destinations to optimize fleet management workflows
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Mapbox Access Token
- Start building location-aware applications from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Software Developers — integrate mapping and navigation services into AI agents and validate geocoding results through natural conversation
- Logistics Managers — optimize delivery routes and calculate distance matrices for fleets without manual GIS software
- Data Analysts — clean GPS datasets using road snapping and enrich location data with precise elevation and coordinate metadata

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Mapbox (Maps & Geospatial) into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Mapbox (Maps & Geospatial) and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
Can I calculate which areas are reachable within a 10-minute drive through my agent?
Yes. Use the get_isochrones tool by providing the center coordinates and '10' as the minutes parameter. Your agent will return GeoJSON polygons representing the reachable areas for the specified profile (driving, walking, or cycling).
How do I optimize a delivery route with multiple stops through a conversation?
The solve_optimization tool determines the most efficient order to visit a list of coordinates. Your agent will process the request and return the optimized sequence, minimizing either travel time or distance for your logistics workflow.
Can my agent generate a map image for a specific location?
Absolutely. Use the generate_static_map tool by specifying the center, zoom, and resolution. Your agent will provide a usable Mapbox static image URL, perfect for visual verification without needing a mapping library.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
