Which integrations are available for this server?

Provides tools for adding, filtering, and styling map layers using MapLibre GL JS expressions and paint properties, enabling dynamic map configuration.

How do I use MCP Map Server?

1. Click on "Deploy Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@MCP Map Server Add a satellite raster layer for California" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

MCP Map Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides a dynamic map interface.

Quick Start

Add the hosted MCP endpoint to your LLM client, like so:

Using VSCode

create a .vscode/mcp.json like this: (as in this repo)

{
	"servers": {
		"map-server": {
			"command": "uv",
			"args": [
				"run",
				"mcp-map-server",
				"--transport",
				"stdio",
				"--prompt-file",
				"system-prompt.example.md"
			]
		},
	}
}

You should see a little icon appear above the entry to "Start" server, like so:

Configuring Data Layer Information

The server supports MCP prompts to provide AI agents with information about available data layers. This helps agents understand which layers are available, their attributes, and how to use them effectively.

Recommended: Use a Markdown file

You can provide a system prompt as a plain markdown file:

mcp-map-server --prompt-file my-layers.md

Related MCP server: MCP Boilerplate

Tooling & API

Every map-modifying tool returns the full, updated map configuration in JSON format.

Available Tools

add_layer: Adds a raster (XYZ/Tiles) or vector (MVT/PMTiles) layer.
set_map_view: Moves the camera to a specific center and zoom.
filter_layer: Applies MapLibre filter expressions to an existing layer.
set_layer_paint: Dynamically modifies paint properties (colors, opacity, etc.).
remove_layer: Deletes a layer by ID.
get_map_config: Returns the current session/provided state as JSON.

MCP Client Configuration

To use this with MCP-compatible clients like Claude Desktop or VSCode extensions, point them to the server.

Local Development (Recommended):

Local clients like Claude Desktop and VSCode expect StdIO transport when launching a command. The server now defaults to stdio.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "map-server": {
      "command": "uv run mcp-map-server"
    }
  }
}

Passing CLI Arguments (Transport, Prompts, etc.):

If you need to specify the transport explicitly or provide a custom system prompt file, use the args array.

IMPORTANT

Arguments must be passed as individual elements in theargs array, NOT as part of the command string.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "map-server": {
      "command": "uv run mcp-map-server",
      "args": [
        "--transport", "stdio",
        "--prompt-file", "/path/to/my-layers.md"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Note: The server defaults to stdio when run as a command.

Using the Shared Production Server:

Web-based or remote clients connect via HTTP.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "map-server": {
      "url": "https://mcp-map.nrp-nautilus.io/mcp/"
    }
  }
}

      "#999999"
    ]
  }
}

Tips for Layer Selection

Always start with a base layer (OSM, CartoDB, or Esri)
Use light base maps (carto-light) when overlaying lots of data
Use satellite imagery (esri-satellite) for environmental or geographic context
PMTiles sources are efficient for large vector datasets
Filter by geography first (ISO3, admin_level) to improve performance
Use meaningful colors and opacity for multiple overlapping layers

Inputs: id (required), type (required), source (required), state, +3 more.

filter_layerA

Apply a MapLibre filter expression to a layer and all its sub-layers.

Each tool targets a distinct operation: add/remove layers, set view, list layers, filter layers, set paint, and get config. There is no overlap that would cause an agent to misselect between tools.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern (add_layer, remove_layer, set_map_view, list_layers, filter_layer, set_layer_paint, get_map_config), making the naming predictable and uniform.

Tool Count5/5

With 7 tools, the server is well-scoped for map visualization, covering essential operations without unnecessary bloat. This is within the ideal 3-15 tool range.

Completeness5/5

The layer lifecycle is thoroughly covered: add, remove, list, filter, and style layers, plus camera control and full configuration inspection. There are no obvious gaps for typical map manipulation tasks.
