What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 12, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • get_import_format

    The JSON format for maps: layers with timed polygon keyframes, point markers and a style.

  • get_account

    The signed-in user's public handle, plan and how many maps they can still create.

  • list_maps

    The user's maps, most recently changed first, with their ids and links.

  • get_map

    A summary of one of the user's maps (layers, keyframe dates, markers) and a 15-minute download link for its full import JSON, which can be several MB.

  • create_map

    Create a new private draft map from an import JSON of up to about 1 MB.

  • create_upload_link

    A one-off link (valid 15 minutes) for uploading a map JSON file of up to 40 MB with curl. It creates a new draft map, or with mode replace overwrites an existing map's content. The curl output reports the result.

  • start_map_upload

    Opens an upload (valid 2 hours) for a map JSON text that is sent in numbered parts through tool calls rather than over the network. It creates a new draft map, or with mode replace overwrites an existing map's content.

  • upload_map_part

    Stores one numbered piece of a chunked map upload. The pieces are joined in part order with nothing in between; sending a part number again replaces that part. Returns the piece's length and SHA-256.

  • finish_map_upload

    Joins parts 1 to the given count of a chunked upload, validates the map and creates the draft map (or replaces the map's content, keeping a backup). Reports missing parts or where the JSON breaks.

  • replace_map_content

    Overwrite an existing map's layers, markers, name, description and casualty bar (and style, if given) with an import JSON of up to about 1 MB. The link and publish state stay; the old content is backed up.

  • publish_map

    Make one of the user's maps public at its /map/ / link, where anyone can view it. The user must first choose a username at https://www.movingpolygons.com/settings; until then this fails and says so.

  • unpublish_map

    Make one of the user's maps private again (its public link stops working).

  • search_maps

    Find published animated maps on Moving Polygons (history, wars, empires, borders, epidemics, sea ice…) by words in their title or description and/or a year they cover. Returns links to the interactive map, its text version and its article.

  • get_public_map

    One published map as Markdown: description and sources, the timeline of keyframes (date and caption), layers, events, and the iframe code to embed the interactive map. Pass its URL, or the handle and slug.

Common questions

Is Moving Polygons safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 23 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).

What can I use instead?
