What's in it

Data offered docs-verified: geocoding and reverse geocoding (addresses and place names to coordinates and back) · POI search · multi-modal routing (driving, walking, cycling) with real-time traffic · travel time matrices · route optimisation for multiple stops · map matching of GPS traces · isochrones (time or distance reachability) · interactive map rendering (render_map_tool) · static map images · offline distance, area, bearing, buffer, centroid and points-within-polygon calculations
Coverage docs-verified: Global (worldwide)
Formats llm-inferred: MCP (Node.js server; hosted endpoint https://mcp.mapbox.com/mcp) · PNG · JPEG · GeoJSON (input to render_map_tool)
Access docs-verified: API key: Mapbox access token required (env MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN); free Mapbox account signup; server code MIT licence

Useful for

Use cases llm-inferred: Travel-time isochrones and drive or walk reachability from a depot or site for survey and sampling crew scheduling · Travel-time matrix and multi-stop route optimisation for multi-site monitoring rounds such as river or outfall sampling · Static map images of site location, catchment context and sampling points for report figures · Offline buffer, area and point-in-polygon checks on site boundaries or consultation zones
Audience llm-inferred: GIS analysts · civil engineers (site logistics) · environmental consultants · planners

Limitations

Constraints llm-inferred: Requires a Mapbox access token (MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN) · Global, general-purpose location platform; no UK hydrology, flood, rainfall or environmental datasets among the listed tools · Geocoding, POI, routing and isochrone tools call Mapbox APIs; usage limits and pricing are not stated in DOCS · Interactive render_map_tool works only in MCP Apps clients (e.g. Claude Desktop, Claude Code, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, Goose); use static_map_image_tool elsewhere · Resource fallback tools (resource_reader_tool, category_list_tool) are off by default; enable CLIENT_NEEDS_RESOURCE_FALLBACK=true for clients without resource support · Tool argument schemas are not included in DOCS
