Readme

MapIron MCP

MapIron (https://mapiron.com) is a map API built on OpenStreetMap data, with a free plan and flat paid plans. It provides static map images, including a privacy-area mode, geocoding, and tiles. This repository provides a small stdio-to-HTTP bridge for MCP clients that can only launch local servers.

MCP Registry: com.mapiron/maps

MapIron was called PinSharing until November 2026. Old configs keep working: see Upgrading from PinSharing.

Most clients: use the hosted server directly

The hosted MCP server is available at:

https://api.mapiron.com/v1/mcp

See https://mapiron.com/docs/mcp for setup. With Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http mapiron https://api.mapiron.com/v1/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"

Clients that only run local servers (stdio)

Some clients, such as Claude Desktop with claude_desktop_config.json, can only launch local stdio MCP servers. For those, use this bridge.
