What is the Mapbox MCP Server?
Connect to Mapbox and access world-class location services through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Geocoding — Convert addresses, place names and POIs to coordinates and structured addresses
- Reverse Geocoding — Convert GPS coordinates to human-readable addresses
- Directions — Get driving, walking and cycling routes with step-by-step instructions
- Distance Matrix — Calculate travel times and distances between multiple locations
- Isochrones — Show areas reachable within a specific time or distance
- Elevation — Get elevation data for any coordinates
- Static Maps — Generate map image URLs for any location
- Nearby Search — Find points of interest near coordinates
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Mapbox Access Token
- Start using location services from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Developers — geocode addresses, calculate routes and generate map images via API
- Logistics — optimize delivery routes with distance matrices and isochrones
- Travelers — get directions, find nearby places and check elevation data
Built-in capabilities (8)
Returns the place name, coordinates, address components (street, city, state, postal code, country), place type and bounding box. Use this to find coordinates for use with directions, distance matrix and other tools. Convert a place name to coordinates
Returns route distance, duration, geometry, step-by-step instructions and maneuver data. Supports driving (mapbox/driving), walking (mapbox/walking) and cycling (mapbox/cycling) profiles. Coordinates are semicolon-separated "longitude,latitude" pairs (e.g. "-77.0365,38.8977;-74.006,40.7128" for DC to NYC). Get driving, walking or cycling directions
Useful for logistics, delivery routing and travel planning. Returns a matrix of durations (seconds) and distances (meters) between all source-destination pairs. Coordinates are semicolon-separated "lon,lat" pairs. Supports driving, walking and cycling profiles. Get travel times between multiple origins and destinations
Useful for hiking, aviation and geographic research. Coordinates are comma-separated "lon,lat" pairs. Get elevation for coordinates
Returns polygon contours showing the reachable area. Useful for determining service areas, commute ranges and accessibility. Coordinates are "lon,lat". Get reachable area within a time or distance
Returns a direct image URL that can be used in markdown, HTML or downloaded. Supports customizable zoom level and image dimensions. Generate a static map image for a location
Returns the nearest address, city, state, country and other location details. Convert coordinates to an address
Returns nearby places with names, addresses, categories, distances and coordinates. Use query to search for specific types of places (e.g. "restaurant", "gas station", "hotel"). Search for places near coordinates
Why LlamaIndex?

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Mapbox Access Token?
Sign up for a free account at account.mapbox.com, go to Access Tokens and create a new token. Copy the token — it starts with pk..
Can I get driving directions?
Yes! Use get_directions with coordinates and the 'driving' profile. Returns route distance, duration, step-by-step instructions and geometry. Also supports 'walking' and 'cycling' profiles.
What are isochrones used for?
Isochrones show the area reachable within a specific time or distance from a location. Useful for delivery zones, commute analysis, real estate proximity and accessibility planning.
Can I calculate distances between multiple locations?
Yes! Use get_distance_matrix with multiple coordinate pairs. Returns a matrix of durations (seconds) and distances (meters) between all source-destination pairs. Supports driving, walking and cycling profiles.
How does LlamaIndex connect to MCP servers?
Use the MCP client adapter to create a connection. LlamaIndex discovers all tools and wraps them as query engine tools compatible with any LlamaIndex agent.
Can I combine MCP tools with vector stores?
Yes. LlamaIndex agents can query Mapbox tools and vector store indexes in the same turn, combining real-time and embedded data for grounded responses.
Does LlamaIndex support async MCP calls?
Yes. LlamaIndex's async agent framework supports concurrent MCP tool calls for high-throughput data processing pipelines.
