About Mapbox Developer MCP

Official developer-focused Mapbox MCP for interacting with Mapbox developer APIs, validating GeoJSON and style expressions, and accessing Mapbox-specific resources.

What you can use it for

  • Validate GeoJSON
  • Validate Mapbox style expressions
  • Access developer API operations and Mapbox resources
Connection and setup
Hosting
remote or local
Transport
stdio
Endpoint
https://mcp-devkit.mapbox.com/mcp
Authentication
Mapbox access token via MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN, with API scopes specific to each tool; public remote MCP tools/list is not anonymously available.

Requirements

  • Mapbox account
  • Mapbox token with scopes needed by intended tools
  • Node.js for local server

Setup steps

  1. Hosted: connect to https://mcp-devkit.mapbox.com/mcp using client hosted MCP setup.
  2. Create a Mapbox token in account settings with least privileges needed.
  3. Local install options are documented in repository; configure MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN.
Tools

Current Mapbox official source registers exactly 23 core tools. Public MCP tools/list requires Mapbox token authentication. Style/token operations can create, update or delete account resources; tools require specific scopes. Interactive preview UI resources and reference resources are separate MCP capabilities, not additional tools.
