Mapbox MCP server
7 operations0 webhooks
Geocode addresses and coordinates, get routes, travel-time matrices, isochrones and optimized trips, and query vector tilesets with Mapbox.
Try Mapbox with your agent
Connect Mapbox, then paste this into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. For ideas from other apps, see the use cases.
Using Corsair, show me what you can do in Mapbox on my account, then run one read-only example and show me the result.
Mapbox tools and triggers
Tools are what your agent can do in Mapbox through Corsair's MCP server. Triggers are the Mapbox events a routine can start from.
Geocoding
- ForwardRead-only
Turn an address or place name into coordinates and structured address context; a query with no match returns an empty features list
geocoding.forward
- ReverseRead-only
Turn a longitude and latitude into the address, place or other features at that point
geocoding.reverse
Directions
- RouteRead-only
Get a route between 2 to 25 waypoints for driving, driving with traffic, walking or cycling, with optional steps, annotations and alternatives; throws when Mapbox finds no route
directions.route
Isochrone
- GetRead-only
Get the area reachable from a point within up to four travel times or distances, as GeoJSON lines or polygons
isochrone.get
Matrix
- CalculateRead-only
Get travel times, distances or both between up to 25 points (10 with traffic), as a sources by destinations table
matrix.calculate
Tilequery
- QueryRead-only
List the features of one or more vector tilesets at or near a point, nearest first
tilequery.query
Trips
- OptimizeRead-only
Find the fastest order to visit 2 to 12 stops (Optimization v1, answered immediately); throws on NoSegment or an unsupported roundtrip/source/destination combination
trips.optimize

Connect Mapbox in Corsair
Add your Mapbox API key once in Corsair. Corsair stores the credential encrypted and makes the Mapbox API calls for your agent, so it never goes into a prompt or a config file. Connect Mapbox
If your link lets the agent add apps, you can skip this: it gives you a sign-in link the first time it needs Mapbox. On a ChatGPT personal plan, connect Mapbox here first.

Add Corsair's MCP server to your agent
Every client uses the same address:
https://mcp.corsair.dev/mcpOpen Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste the address, then select Connect.Add a custom MCP server with the address and choose OAuth. Personal plans get read tools only.Add to CursorOr add this to~/.cursor/mcp.json. Cursor opens Corsair to sign in the first time it connects.{ "mcpServers": { "corsair": { "url": "https://mcp.corsair.dev/mcp" } } }Run this, then run/mcpin Claude Code to sign in.claude mcp add --transport http corsair https://mcp.corsair.dev/mcpCodex, Gemini CLI, VS Code, Zed and other clients with OAuth sign-in work the same way. Clients without it, such as GitHub Copilot's coding agent, use a link's own address and an API key. Setup for every client

Sign in and choose what needs your approval
Your client opens Corsair to sign in. Pick a link: the apps your agent can use and a mode that decides what it may do without asking. Every Mapbox operation only reads data, so it runs right away in every mode.
FAQ
Install corsair and @corsair-dev/mapbox, add the Mapbox plugin, and connect with an API key. Then call methods like corsair.mapbox.api.directions.route() from your app. Corsair keeps each tenant isolated.
Yes. Mapbox requires an API key from your Mapbox account or developer dashboard. Create credentials with access that matches what you automate, then paste them into Corsair or connect through managed auth in Hub.
Yes. One Corsair client can hit Mapbox, GitHub, Notion, Stripe, and the rest. Trigger Mapbox from a webhook, push updates to Slack, or chain actions across plugins. Same tenant context across integrations, plain TypeScript.
Teams use Corsair for geocode addresses and coordinates, get routes, travel-time matrices, isochrones and optimized trips, and query vector tilesets with Mapbox. Common builds include sync jobs, admin tooling, and agents that call Mapbox APIs from your backend.
The SDK is open source. Self-host and you pay Corsair nothing for the integration layer. Hub bills for hosted auth and execution, not per Mapbox API call. Hub has a generous free tier. For hobby projects you can probably run the whole thing on free. Paid plans start to matter with more tenants or heavier traffic.
We maintain @corsair-dev/mapbox in the open repo. When Mapbox ships API changes, upgrade the package. Your call sites stay typed. You should not need to rewrite the integration layer each time.
No. Corsair does not read your Mapbox data or hold individual access credentials. Credentials stay in your database. API calls run on your instance. We do not store Mapbox data on your behalf.
Yes. Add https://mcp.corsair.dev/mcp as a custom connector or MCP server in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, Codex or any client that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth sign-in, then sign in to Corsair. On ChatGPT personal plans, custom servers currently get read tools only.
Yes. Put Mapbox on a link in Strict mode and every write waits for your approval, while destructive actions are refused. Every Mapbox operation only reads data, so there are no changes to approve today. You can change a link's mode at hub.corsair.dev/me.
