What is the Baidu Map Web Service API MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your geographic searches and location-based operations with Baidu Map, the premier mapping infrastructure in China. By connecting Baidu Map to your agent, you transform complex geocoding, route planning, and POI (Point of Interest) discovery into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly convert addresses to coordinates, calculate optimal driving or transit routes, locate users by IP address, and audit local business areas without you ever needing to navigate a technical portal. Whether you are optimizing logistics or conducting market research across Chinese cities, your agent acts as a real-time geographic intelligence assistant, providing accurate and reliable spatial data from a single, unified source.
What you can do
- Geocoding Orchestration — Convert physical addresses into precise latitude and longitude coordinates and vice versa.
- Route Planning — Retrieve detailed directions for driving, public transit, walking, and riding between any two points.
- POI Discovery — Search for hotels, restaurants, and other points of interest within specific regions or around coordinates.
- IP Localization — Monitor and audit user locations based on IP addresses to ensure regional compliance or targeting.
- Business Area Insights — Access detailed information about local commercial zones and business surroundings.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Baidu Map Access Key (AK) and optional Secret Key (SK)
- Start managing your spatial data through Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Logistics Coordinators — plan routes and verify addresses for delivery operations through natural language queries.
- Market Researchers — analyze business areas and POI density directly from your AI-powered workspace.
- Travel Planners — coordinate complex transit itineraries and discover local attractions via a unified AI interface.
- Baidu Map Power Users — integrate your existing LBS workflows into your AI-driven daily routines.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Baidu Map Access Key (AK)?
Log in to the Baidu Map Open Platform Console, create an application, and your AK will be displayed. Ensure the application type is 'Server' for use with this MCP.
When do I need to provide a Secret Key (SK)?
You only need to provide an SK if your Baidu Map application has 'SN verification' enabled in the settings. This server will automatically calculate the required signature (sn) for every request if the SK is provided.
Does this work for international locations?
Baidu Map specialized services are highly optimized for mainland China. While some international data exists, for global coverage outside of China, other MCP servers like Google Maps or Mapbox might be more appropriate.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
