What it does
The server gives the agent Mapbox geo services worldwide. It converts addresses to coordinates and back, searches places by category and along a route, plans driving, walking and cycling routes with traffic, and computes travel time matrices and optimal stop order. It snaps GPS traces to roads, builds isochrones and static map images. render_map_tool shows an interactive map inside supporting clients, and distance, area, buffers and point-in-polygon checks run locally without API calls.
Who it is for. For developers of delivery, travel and geo analytics products who need maps and routing in an agent.
Good fit when
- You need to optimize a delivery route across several addresses
- You want to show a reachability area or route on a map
- You need geometry calculations on coordinates and polygons
Not a fit when
- You need detailed data for Russian cities: Yandex Maps or 2GIS are usually more accurate
- You cannot create a Mapbox account and token
Example request

Environment variables
MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKENrequired, secret- Mapbox access token for the local server
CLIENT_NEEDS_RESOURCE_FALLBACK- Enables fallback tools for clients without MCP resource support
Limitations
Requires a Mapbox account and access token; API usage is billed per Mapbox pricing. Interactive maps work only in clients with MCP Apps support; others get static images. Clients without MCP resource support need CLIENT_NEEDS_RESOURCE_FALLBACK.
How to disable. Run claude mcp remove mapbox-mcp-production or delete the client config entry, and revoke the token in your Mapbox account if needed.
FAQ
Can I draw my own data on the map?
Yes, render_map_tool accepts hand-made GeoJSON with polygons, markers and lines without calling other Mapbox tools.
What is the easiest Claude Desktop setup?
Download mcp-server.dxt from Releases, open it in Claude Desktop and enter your Mapbox token.

README in short
The README lists server capabilities with sample prompts for discovery, navigation, visualization, analysis and offline calculations. It covers the hosted Mapbox endpoint and guides for Claude Desktop, Goose, VS Code, Cursor and smolagents. It details the interactive map tool, MCP resources with place categories and a fallback mode for clients without resources. Docker builds and an npm package are available. MIT licensed.
