Common questions

Is MCP Devkit Server safe?

It passed 3 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?

You need to fill in: MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.9.0) reached the registry today.

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 in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Mapbox Developer MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants with direct access to Mapbox developer APIs. This server enables AI models to interact with Mapbox services, helping developers build Mapbox applications more efficiently.

Looking for Mapbox documentation access? Use mcp-docs-server alongside this server — it provides AI assistants with access to Mapbox documentation, guides, and API references from docs.mapbox.com.

Quick Start

Integration with Developer Tools

Get started by integrating with your preferred AI development environment:

Claude Code Integration - Command-line development with Claude
Claude Desktop Integration - Desktop application integration
Cursor Integration - Cursor IDE integration
VS Code Integration - Visual Studio Code with GitHub Copilot

DXT Package Distribution

This MCP server can be packaged as a DXT (Desktop Extension) file for easy distribution and installation. DXT is a standardized format for distributing local MCP servers, similar to browser extensions.

Creating the DXT Package

To create a DXT package:

# Install the DXT CLI tool

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/dxt

Build the server first

npm run build

Create the DXT package

npx @anthropic-ai/dxt pack

This will generate mcp-devkit-server.dxt using the configuration in manifest.json.

The DXT package includes:

Pre-built server code (dist/esm/index.js)
Server metadata and configuration
User configuration schema for the Mapbox access token
Automatic environment variable setup

Hosted MCP Endpoint

For quick access, you can use our hosted MCP endpoint:

Endpoint: https://mcp-devkit.mapbox.com/mcp

For detailed setup instructions for different clients and API usage, see the Hosted MCP Server Guide. Note: This guide references the standard MCP endpoint - you'll need to update the endpoint URL to use the devkit endpoint above.

Getting Your Mapbox Access Token

A Mapbox access token is required to use this MCP server.

Sign up for a free Mapbox account at mapbox.com/signup
Navigate to your Account page
Create a new token with the required scopes for your use case

For more information about Mapbox access tokens, see the Mapbox documentation on access tokens.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Token Privileges Required

The MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable is required. Each tool requires specific token scopes/privileges to function properly. For example:

Reading styles requires styles:read scope
Creating styles requires styles:write scope
Managing tokens requires tokens:read and tokens:write scopes
Accessing feedback requires user-feedback:read scope

Tools

Reference Tools

Reference data is exposed as MCP Resources (see Resources section). MCP clients that support the resources protocol can access them directly.

Available References:

`resource://mapbox-style-layers` - Mapbox GL JS style specification reference guide covering all layer types (fill, line, symbol, circle, fill-extrusion) and their properties
`resource://mapbox-streets-v8-fields` - Complete field definitions for all Mapbox Streets v8 source layers, including enumerated values for each field (useful for building filters)
`resource://mapbox-token-scopes` - Comprehensive token scope reference explaining what each scope allows and which scopes are needed for different operations
`resource://mapbox-layer-type-mapping` - Mapping of Mapbox Streets v8 source layers to compatible GL JS layer types, with common usage patterns

Example prompts:

"What fields are available for the landuse layer?"
"Show me the token scopes reference"
"What layer type should I use for roads?"
"Get the Streets v8 fields reference"
"What scopes do I need to display a map?"

Style Management Tools

Complete set of tools for managing Mapbox styles via the Styles API:

Style Builder Tool - Create and modify Mapbox styles programmatically through conversational prompts

📖 [See the Style Builder documentation for detailed usage and examples →](./docs/STYLE_BUILDER.md)

ListStylesTool - List all styles for a Mapbox account

Input: limit (optional - max number of styles), start (optional - pagination token)
Returns: Array of style metadata with optional pagination info

CreateStyleTool - Create a new Mapbox style

Input: name, style (Mapbox style specification)
Returns: Created style details with ID

RetrieveStyleTool - Retrieve a specific style by ID

Input: styleId
Returns: Complete style specification

UpdateStyleTool - Update an existing style

Input: styleId, name (optional), style (optional)
Returns: Updated style details

DeleteStyleTool - Delete a style by ID

Input: styleId
Returns: Success confirmation

PreviewStyleTool - Generate preview URL for a Mapbox style using an existing public token

Input: styleId, title (optional), zoomwheel (optional), zoom (optional), center (optional), bearing (optional), pitch (optional)
Returns: URL to open the style preview in browser
Note: This tool automatically fetches the first available public token from your account for the preview URL. Requires at least one public token with styles:read scope.

ValidateStyleTool - Validate Mapbox style JSON against the Mapbox Style Specification

Input: style (Mapbox style JSON object or JSON string)
Returns: Validation results including errors, warnings, info messages, and style summary
Performs comprehensive offline validation checking:
Required fields (version, sources, layers)
Valid layer and source types
Source references and layer IDs
Common configuration issues
Note: This is an offline validation tool that doesn't require API access or token scopes

⚠️ Required Token Scopes:

All style tools require a valid Mapbox access token with specific scopes. Using a token without the correct scope will result in authentication errors.

ListStylesTool: Requires styles:list scope
CreateStyleTool: Requires styles:write scope
RetrieveStyleTool: Requires styles:download scope
UpdateStyleTool: Requires styles:write scope
DeleteStyleTool: Requires styles:write scope
PreviewStyleTool: Requires tokens:read scope (to list tokens) and at least one public token with styles:read scope

Note: The username is automatically extracted from the JWT token payload.

Example prompts:

"Can you create a Christmas themed Style for me?"
"Please generate a preview link for this style"
"Can you change the background to snow style?"

Token Management Tools

create-token

Create a new Mapbox access token with specified scopes and optional URL restrictions.

Parameters:

note (string, required): Description of the token
