Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mappls": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mappls-mcp"

        "MAPPLS_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add mappls --env MAPPLS_API_KEY=your-value -- npx -y mappls-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mappls": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mappls-mcp"

}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "mappls": {

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

Common questions

Is Mappls MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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: MAPPLS_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (2.0.0) reached the registry 6 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

mappls-mcp

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Mappls — India's own maps platform (MapMyIndia). Gives AI agents accurate geocoding, routing, nearby search, and more for Indian addresses and locations.

Built because Google Maps MCP exists, but nothing existed for India-first location data.

Tools (18)

Search & Geocoding

Tool	Description
`geocode`	Address or place name → lat/lng
`reverse_geocode`	lat/lng → human-readable Indian address
`autosuggest`	Autocomplete suggestions as user types
`text_search`	Search by keyword or brand (e.g. "Starbucks Delhi")
`nearby_search`	Find hospitals, ATMs, petrol pumps, restaurants near a point
`place_details`	Full details for a place using its eLoc code
`address_analytics`	Standardize a raw address into structured components
`validate_pincode`	Validate a 6-digit pincode, get district + state

Routing & Navigation

Tool	Description
`get_directions`	Turn-by-turn directions (driving/biking/walking)
`get_directions_with_traffic`	Traffic-aware ETA using real-time conditions
`distance_matrix`	Distances + durations between multiple points
`distance_matrix_with_traffic`	Traffic-aware distance matrix
`poi_along_route`	Find fuel stations, restaurants, ATMs along a route
`snap_to_road`	Snap raw GPS coordinates to nearest road

Utilities

Tool	Description
`elevation`	Altitude above sea level for any lat/lng point
`aerial_distance`	Straight-line (crow-fly) distance between two points
`still_map_image`	Generate a static map image URL for any location

Getting Started

1. Get a Mappls API key (free)

Sign up at about.mappls.com/api — free account, no credit card
After login, click Create New Project → choose Cloud as the platform
Open the project → go to the Credentials tab → copy the Static Key
Go to the Whitelisting tab → leave the IP field blank for unrestricted access

The free tier includes generous API limits suitable for development and small projects.

2. Install

npm install -g mappls-mcp

Or run directly without installing:

npx mappls-mcp

Or clone and build locally:

git clone https://github.com/AmanMakesStuff/mappls-mcp

cd mappls-mcp npm install && npm run build

3. Configure

Set your API key as an environment variable:

export MAPPLS_API_KEY=your_static_key_here

Integration

Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

"mcpServers": { "mappls": { "command": "npx", "args": ["mappls-mcp"], "env": { "MAPPLS_API_KEY": "your_static_key_here" } } } }

Cursor / Windsurf

Add to your MCP settings:

"mappls": { "command": "npx", "args": ["mappls-mcp"], "env": { "MAPPLS_API_KEY": "your_static_key_here" } } }

Local build (alternative)

If you cloned the repo:

"mcpServers": { "mappls": { "command": "node", "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mappls-mcp/build/index.js"], "env": { "MAPPLS_API_KEY": "your_static_key_here" } } } }

Example Prompts

Once connected, ask your AI agent:

*"Find the nearest hospital to Connaught Place, New Delhi"*
*"What's the address at 28.6139, 77.2090?"*
*"Get driving directions from Bandra to Andheri"*
*"Is pincode 400001 valid? What area is it?"*
*"How far is Delhi from Mumbai in a straight line?"*
*"What is the elevation of Shimla?"*
*"Find ATMs along the route from India Gate to Qutub Minar"*
*"Standardize this address: 237 Okhla Industrial Phase 3 ND 110020"*
*"Search for Domino's near Koramangala Bangalore"*

Notes

All tools accept lat/lng in decimal degrees (e.g. 28.6139, 77.2090)
Routing tools use lat,lng format for input (the server handles coordinate conversion internally)
nearby_search uses plain keywords like "hospital", "atm", "restaurant" — Mappls maps these to category codes automatically
poi_along_route requires the encoded polyline from the geometry field of a get_directions response
still_map_image returns a URL — the image is a PNG map tile
