     • fuzzyMatch (optional): Enable/disable fuzzy matching
   • Returns: Detailed location information including coordinates and properties

Claude Desktop Integration

Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config file (typically located at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mapbox-mcp-server": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mapbox-mcp-server/build/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Setup

Prerequisites

• Node.js 16 or higher
• TypeScript 4.5 or higher
• A valid Mapbox API key

API Key

Get a Mapbox API key by following the instructions here.

Set your API key as an environment variable:

export MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_api_key_here

Rate Limits

• Directions API: 300 requests per minute
• Matrix API:
  • 60 requests per minute for driving/walking/cycling
  • 30 requests per minute for driving-traffic
• Geocoding API: 600 requests per minute

Deployment

Structure

In mapbox-mcp-server, we use the following structure to manage the server's handlers:

• src/server/handlers/base.ts: Base class for all handlers
• src/server/registry.ts: Registry for all handlers
• src/server/main.ts: Main entry point for the server

Each feature module follows this structure:

src/
├── types/          # Type definitions
├── schemas/        # Zod schemas for validation
├── tools/
│   ├── definitions/  # Tool definitions
│   └── handlers/     # Tool implementations
└── server/
    └── handlers/     # Handler classes

Error Handling

All tools implement comprehensive error handling:

• Input validation errors
• API request failures
• Rate limit errors
• Service-specific errors (e.g., no routes found, invalid coordinates)
