What it can do

The server asks you to sign in before it lists its tools.

Common questions

Is MapRouter 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: MAPROUTER_SECRET_KEY

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 (0.1.1) reached the registry 11 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 in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: GitHub, Desktop Commander, Cloudflare MCP

MapRouter MCP server

Maps your agent can set up, and a bill that can't run away.

This MCP server lets a coding agent add a working map to an app: it creates MapRouter keys, geocodes addresses, and writes MapLibre code for HTML, React, Vue or Svelte. MapRouter is prepaid, so the agent can read usage and lower budgets but can never add credits or raise a budget.

Use the hosted server (recommended)

No key to copy: it signs you in with GitHub.

claude mcp add --transport http maprouter https://mcp.maprouter.dev/mcp

Claude Code plugin

This repo is also a Claude Code plugin marketplace. The plugin adds the hosted server and an add-a-map skill:

/plugin marketplace add maprouter-dev/maprouter-mcp

/plugin install maprouter@maprouter

Run it locally

For clients that only run local servers. (The npm package is not published yet; until then, clone this repo and point your client at node src/stdio.ts.) Create a secret key at https://app.maprouter.dev.

"mcpServers": { "maprouter": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "maprouter-mcp"], "env": { "MAPROUTER_SECRET_KEY": "mr_sk_..." } } } }

Requires Node 22.18 or later.

Tools

Tool	What it does	Cost
`setup_project`	Creates a publishable key (browser, origin-locked) and a secret key, returns env lines	Free
`geocode`	Address or place to coordinates	10 credits
`reverse_geocode`	Coordinates to address	10 credits
`autocomplete`	Search-as-you-type suggestions	2 credits
`timezone`	IANA zone, UTC offset and DST at a point	1 credit
`get_map_snippet`	Working MapLibre code with markers	Free
`check_usage`	Balance, free quota and key caps	Free
`set_key_budget`	Lowers a key's daily or monthly cap (never raises)	Free

Use it as a library

import { MapRouterClient, createServer, handleMcpRequest } from 'maprouter-mcp';

const client = new MapRouterClient({ key: process.env.MAPROUTER_SECRET_KEY! }); // Any web-standard server: Workers, Deno, Bun, Node 22+. export default { fetch: (request: Request) => handleMcpRequest(request, client) };
