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
- Hosted: connect to https://mcp-devkit.mapbox.com/mcp using client hosted MCP setup.
- Create a Mapbox token in account settings with least privileges needed.
- 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.
