Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Mapbox, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Mapbox. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ

Questions Mapbox owners ask.

  • 01

    Can I calculate driving directions between two points using this server?

    Yes! Use the get_directions capability. You need to provide a routing profile (like mapbox/driving) and the coordinates as a semicolon-separated string of longitude and latitude.

  • 02

    How do I find information about map features at a specific coordinate?

    You can use the get_tilequery capability. By providing a tileset ID and the longitude/latitude, the agent will retrieve data about the specific features located at that point.

  • 03

    Is it possible to update my Mapbox datasets through the AI?

    Yes, the update_dataset_feature capability allows you to modify a specific feature within a dataset by providing the dataset ID, feature ID, and the new GeoJSON data.
