What this server can do and what it asks for, from its tool list and install config. Checked Oct 25, 2026.

Runs code on install

Its package runs an install script (such as npm postinstall or setup.py code) as soon as you install it, before any tool is called. Read the script first.

Tools (22)

Read from the source code; the running server may differ. Descriptions are the server’s own words; hidden characters are shown as [U+…].

area_tool
Calculate the area of a polygon or multipolygon. Supports various units including square meters, kilometers, acres, and hectares. Works offline without API calls.
bbox_tool
Calculate the bounding box (extent) of any geometry. Returns the minimum and maximum longitude and latitude that encompass the geometry. Works offline without API calls.
bearing_tool
Calculate the bearing (compass direction) from one point to another. Returns bearing in degrees where 0° is North, 90° is East, 180° is South, and 270° is West. Works offline without API calls.
buffer_tool
Create a buffer zone (polygon) around a point, line, or polygon at a specified distance. Useful for proximity analysis, service areas, or creating zones of influence. Works offline without API calls.
centroid_tool
Calculate the geometric center (centroid) of a polygon or multipolygon. The centroid is the arithmetic mean position of all points in the shape. Works offline without API calls.
convex_tool
Compute the convex hull of a set of points — the smallest convex polygon that contains all the points. Useful for bounding area analysis, estimating coverage area, or wrapping a set of locations. Works offline without API calls.
destination_tool
Calculate a destination point given a starting point, bearing, and distance using geodesic (great-circle) straight-line offset. Useful for "find a point 5km north of X", constructing search offsets, or computing waypoints. Bearing: 0=north, 90=east, 180/-180=south, -90=west. Note: this calculates a straight-line geographic offset, not road-network distance. Works offline without API calls.
difference_tool
Subtract one polygon from another, returning the area in polygon1 that is not covered by polygon2. Useful for computing exclusion zones, finding uncovered service areas, or "what is in zone A but not zone B?". Returns null geometry if polygon2 fully covers polygon1. Works offline without API calls. INPUT SHAPE: `polygon1` and `polygon2` are each an array of rings; each ring is an array of [lng, lat] pairs. When chaining with isochrone_tool, extract `feature.geometry.coordinates` from each isochrone Feature (with `polygons=true`).
distance_tool
Calculate the distance between two geographic coordinates. Supports various units including kilometers, miles, meters, feet, and nautical miles. Uses the Haversine formula for accurate great-circle distance calculations. This tool works offline without requiring API calls.
intersect_tool
Find the intersection geometry of two polygons — the area they share in common. Useful for coverage overlap analysis, finding shared service areas, or zone overlap. Returns null geometry if the polygons do not overlap. Works offline without API calls. INPUT SHAPE: `polygon1` and `polygon2` are each an array of rings; each ring is an array of [lng, lat] pairs. When chaining with isochrone_tool, extract `feature.geometry.coordinates` from each isochrone Feature (with `polygons=true`).
length_tool
Measure the total length of a line defined by a series of coordinates. Useful for measuring a drawn route, path, or boundary without a routing API call. Supports kilometers, miles, meters, and feet. Works offline without API calls.
midpoint_tool
Calculate the geographic midpoint between two coordinates. Returns the point that is halfway between the two input points along the great circle path. Works offline without API calls.
nearest_point_on_line_tool
Snap a point to the nearest position on a line or route. Returns the closest point on the line and the distance to it. Useful for "which point on this route is closest to my location?" or map-matching without the API. Works offline without API calls.
nearest_point_tool
Find the nearest point in a collection to a given target point. More efficient than calling distance_tool for each candidate and sorting. Useful for finding the closest store, stop, or landmark to a location. Works offline without API calls.
places_map_display_v0
Display one or more places as pins on a map in the chat. Takes place names or coordinates.

Show 7 more tools

points_within_polygon_tool
Test one or more geographic points against a polygon, returning only those inside. Handles a single point or a batch of points in one call. Useful for delivery zone validation, fleet geofencing, and customer segmentation. Works offline without API calls.
render_map_tool
Display a live, interactive Mapbox GL JS map. Use this when someone wants to see a location, route, or dataset on a map. Preferred usage: any other Mapbox tool returns a `mapboxRender.ref` URI in its structuredContent — pass that ref via `payload_refs: ["..."]`. You can pass multiple refs to merge several datasets (e.g. a search result + a route) onto one map. Inline `layers`/`markers`/`legend` fields are also supported for hand-composed payloads from raw GeoJSON. For a hand-composed POI marker (e.g. built from category_search_tool/search_and_geocode_tool/place_details_tool output), set `marke…
resource_reader_tool
Reads an MCP resource by URI. This tool is a fallback for clients that do not support the native MCP resource API. Supports reading category lists and other Mapbox resources. Use "mapbox://categories" for default categories or "mapbox://categories/{language}" for localized versions (e.g., "mapbox://categories/ja" for Japanese).
simplify_tool
Simplify a LineString or Polygon by reducing the number of vertices while preserving the general shape. Uses the Douglas-Peucker algorithm. Useful for reducing file sizes and improving rendering performance. Works offline without API calls.
union_tool
Merge two or more polygons into a single unified geometry. Useful for combining service areas, delivery zones, isochrones, or coverage regions. Returns a Polygon or MultiPolygon if the inputs do not overlap. Works offline without API calls. INPUT SHAPE: pass `polygons` as an array of polygons. Each polygon is an array of rings; each ring is an array of [lng, lat] pairs. When chaining with isochrone_tool, extract `feature.geometry.coordinates` from each isochrone Feature — that is already a valid Polygon value. Skip features whose `geometry.type === "MultiPolygon"` (pass each inner Polygon sepa…
web_search
Search the web for current information. Returns result titles, URLs and snippets.
write_file
Write a file in the user's project, e.g. a page of the site you are building. Creates or overwrites the file.
