map-tiles
Generate map tile URLs for geologic data visualization using specified coordinates, zoom levels, and scales. Integrates with Macrostrat API to fetch detailed geologic layers in PNG or MVT formats for analysis.
Instructions
Get map tile URLs from the Macrostrat tiles server. Use lat-lng-to-tile tool first to get proper x,y coordinates. Defaults to 'carto' scale which automatically adapts detail level to zoom.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| fetch_image | No | If true, actually fetch the tile image data so Claude can analyze the geological features visually | |
| format | No | Tile format: 'png' for images, 'mvt' for vector tiles | png |
| scale | No | Map scale layer - 'carto' automatically selects appropriate detail level based on zoom. Other scales (tiny, small, medium, large) may have limited coverage. | carto |
| x | Yes | Tile X coordinate - use lat-lng-to-tile tool to calculate this from lat/lng | |
| y | Yes | Tile Y coordinate - use lat-lng-to-tile tool to calculate this from lat/lng | |
| z | Yes | Zoom level (0-18). Higher zoom = more detailed view of smaller area. Typical values: z=3 (continent), z=6 (country), z=10 (city), z=15 (neighborhood) |
