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

01

Traffic Sign Inventory

An urban planner asks the agent to find all stop signs in a specific district to check for maintenance needs.

02

Route Analysis

A researcher searches for image sequences along a specific road to study terrain or road conditions.

03

Infrastructure Audits

A developer uses object detections to identify the location of street lights or road markings.

04

GIS Data Gathering

A researcher pulls geotagged image metadata to populate spatial databases.

Automate a task

Put Mapillary 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

Mapillary 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 Mapillary 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 Mapillary, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

FAQ

Questions Mapillary owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I use Mapillary with my AI client?

    You connect the Mapillary MCP via Vinkius and then use your AI client, such as Claude or Cursor, to send commands to the capability.

  • 02

    What kind of data can the AI retrieve from images?

    The AI can get GPS coordinates, capture dates, compass angles, altitude, and thumbnail URLs.

  • 03

    Can I search for specific objects like traffic signs?

    Yes, you can use the capability to search for detected map features like traffic signs and road markings within a specific area.

  • 04

    Do I need my own Mapillary account?

    Yes, you will need to provide a Mapillary access token to authenticate the connection.

  • 05

    What is a sequence in Mapillary?

    A sequence is a set of connected images captured along a route, which you can search for by geographic area.

  • 06

    Sign up at mapillary.com/developer and create an application to get your access token.

  • 07

    What is a bounding box?

    A bounding box defines a geographic area using min_longitude, min_latitude, max_longitude, max_latitude. Example: "-0.15,51.50,-0.10,51.52" covers central London.

  • 08

    What map features are available?

    Mapillary detects traffic signs (stop, speed limit, yield, etc.), road objects (fire hydrants, mailboxes, etc.) and road markings. Use get_map_features to search by area.
