How do I connect Mapflow to my AI client?

You subscribe to the Mapflow MCP on Vinkius and enter your Mapflow API Key. Once connected, you can use it immediately in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or any compatible client.

What kind of imagery can I process?

The MCP supports processing for both satellite imagery and drone imagery using various AI models.

Can I get the data in specific formats?

Yes, once the processing is complete, the agent can access datasets in formats like GeoJSON, Shapefile, and Geopackage.

What can the AI actually detect in the images?

The available models can detect features such as building footprints, road networks, and forest cover.

Do I need to use the Mapflow website to run tasks?

No, once the MCP is connected, you can manage projects, trigger models, and check task status through your AI agent using natural language.

Can I process satellite imagery and extract vector data?

Yes. Trigger AI models on imagery to automatically extract buildings, roads, forests, and other features as vector polygons.

How does Mapflow authentication work?

Mapflow uses Bearer authentication against api.mapflow.ai/rest using your API Key.

Can I track processing tasks?

Yes. Monitor processing status, progress percentages, and access completion datasets when ready.

Connect Mapflow to ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini

Set it up once and it works in ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and any other client you love. It all runs safely in the background, so you can relax and focus on what really matters. Turn satellite imagery into actionable vector datasets through conversation.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

Urban Infrastructure Mapping

An urban planner asks the agent to identify all building footprints in a specific city district.

Forestry Monitoring

An environmentalist runs a forest cover model to track changes in vegetation patterns over time.

Road Network Analysis

A researcher uses the road network model to extract transportation data from satellite imagery.

Automated Data Pipelines

A developer uses the agent to trigger imagery processing and retrieve results for a larger application.

Automate a task

Put Mapflow to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Mapflow works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Mapflow to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 7 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

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

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