Common questions

Is Mapnetwork 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?

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?

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 (6.2.0) reached the registry 9 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?

mapnetwork-mcp

MCP server for MapNetwork — turn places in Japan into styled, illustration-like map images (PNG / SVG), directly from Claude or any MCP-compatible AI assistant.

Maps are built from detailed OpenStreetMap data served by MapNetwork's own Overpass API for Japan, so coverage is currently limited to Japan (country code JP) — requests for places outside Japan return an error.

Since MapNetwork is built for Japan, a Japanese version of this README is also available: README.ja.md.

Features

Generate a map from a place name or a list of markers
Overlay a walking / driving route between two places
11 color themes (white, darkBlue, darkGreen, popArt, lightBlue, lightGreen, beige, magenta, gray, black, brown)
PNG or SVG output, saved to your Downloads folder
Slow-to-generate maps are handled automatically — generate_* tools poll internally, and download_map can pick up a job later if needed
Re-download a previously generated map in a different theme or format without regenerating
Open any generated map in the MapNetwork web editor for manual customization
View any generated map in 3D — each result includes a link that draws a 3D rendering of the map in your own desktop browser and shows it as an image (not available on mobile devices)

Example Usage

Prompt: "城崎温泉の外湯を地図にして。" (Make a map of the public bathhouses of Kinosaki Onsen.)

The map it generated, saved to your Downloads folder:

The result also includes three links. Open them in a browser to get more out of the same map — no need to regenerate.

Download link — change the color theme by editing the link's colorSet parameter (here &colorSet=black):

View 3D link — a 3D rendering of the map, drawn in your desktop browser and shown as an image:

Open in editor link — customize the map by hand in the MapNetwork web editor (here: buildings hidden, patchwork turned on, and the popArt color theme applied):

Installation

Claude Desktop

Using the .mcpb extension file (recommended)

The easiest way to install is via the .mcpb extension file available on the Releases page.

Download the latest .mcpb file from the Releases page.
Open Claude Desktop and go to Settings → Extensions.
Drag the downloaded .mcpb file onto the Extensions panel to install.

Manual configuration

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:

"mcpServers": { "mapnetwork": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["mapnetwork-mcp"], "alwaysAllow": ["generate_map", "generate_markers_map", "generate_route_map", "download_map", "redownload_map"] } } }

If you use pip instead of uvx:

pip install mapnetwork-mcp

"mcpServers": { "mapnetwork": { "command": "mapnetwork-mcp" } } }

Remote MCP Server

You can also use MapNetwork through MCP without installing anything, via the remote MCP server:

https://mapnetwork.app/mcp

In Claude, go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector and register the URL above.

The key difference from this local server is how you receive the generated map image. Since mapnetwork-mcp runs on your PC, it can save the generated image directly to your Downloads folder. The remote server can't do this — most AI assistants are unable to properly display or save tool-result images within the chat — so instead of image data, it returns a text response with three links at mapnetwork.app: a download link for the PNG, a link to edit the map, and a link to view the map in 3D (the 3D rendering is drawn in your own desktop browser and shown as an image after a few seconds; it is not available on mobile devices). Open the links in a browser to view or save the image, to edit the map, or to see it in 3D. The local server returns the same three links after saving the PNG.

Tools

Tool	Description
`generate_map`	Generate a styled map image centered on a single place and save it to Downloads
