What is the Tencent Map LBS API MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your geographic operations and location-based services with Tencent Map (腾讯地图), the dominant mapping infrastructure for the WeChat ecosystem. By connecting Tencent Map to your agent, you transform complex geocoding, route planning, and POI 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 administrative districts without you ever needing to navigate a technical console. Whether you are optimizing logistics for a WeChat Miniapp or conducting market research across Chinese cities, your agent acts as a real-time geographic intelligence assistant, providing accurate results 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 bicycling between any two points.
- POI Discovery — Search for hotels, restaurants, and other points of interest within specific boundaries or keywords.
- IP Localization — Monitor and audit user locations based on IP addresses to ensure regional accuracy.
- Administrative Insights — Access the full list of administrative districts in China for regional classification.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Tencent Map API Key and optional Secret Key (SK)
- Start managing your LBS data through Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Miniapp Developers — verify locations and plan routes for WeChat-integrated applications through natural language.
- Logistics Coordinators — optimize delivery routes and audit addresses directly from your AI-powered workspace.
- Market Researchers — analyze POI density and regional distribution via a unified AI interface.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Tencent Map API Key?
Log in to the Tencent Map Open Platform Console, create an application, and your Key will be displayed. You can also configure the optional Secret Key (SK) in the key settings.
When should I provide the Secret Key (SK)?
Provide the SK if you have enabled 'Signature Verification' (sig) in your Tencent Map key settings. This server will automatically calculate the MD5 signature for every request if the SK is provided.
Can I use this for international geocoding?
Tencent Map is highly optimized for mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau. While some international coverage exists, results outside these regions may be less detailed than local providers.
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.
