One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 10 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 Nearmap, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

FAQ

Questions Nearmap owners ask.

  • 01

    How high is the resolution of Nearmap imagery compared to standard satellite maps?

    Nearmap provides high-resolution aerial imagery at sub-15cm (approx. 6 inch) Ground Sample Distance (GSD). This is significantly sharper than typical satellite imagery (usually 30cm-50cm), allowing your agent to identify fine site details like roof vents, pavement cracks, or pool conditions.

  • 02

    Can my agent automatically detect solar panels or swimming pools on a property?

    Yes. Use the get_ai_detected_features capability. Nearmap's AI analyzes recent surveys to return vector geometries for specific feature classes like 'Solar Panels' or 'Swimming Pools', including confidence thresholds and area measurements.

  • 03

    What is 'Oblique' imagery and how do I access it through the agent?

    Oblique imagery is captured at a 45-degree angle rather than straight down. Use the get_oblique_tile capability and specify a direction (North, South, East, West). This allows your agent to audit building facades, structural heights, and side-view property details.
