Mcp Docs Server

mapbox/mcp-docs-serverOfficial

Gives Claude direct access to Mapbox's full documentation library without needing an API token. You get search across all docs via Algolia, single and batch document fetching, and structured resources covering the REST API reference, SDK docs for iOS/Android/Flutter/web, style layer specs, Streets v8 tileset fields, and token scopes. Useful when you're building maps, need to look up camera animation syntax, check geocoding endpoints, or figure out which paint properties apply to a layer type. Available as a hosted endpoint, via npx, or self hosted through Docker. Built with TypeScript and dual ESM/CJS output.

Mapbox MCP Documentation Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI assistants instant access to Mapbox documentation and reference materials — no Mapbox access token required.

Quick Start

Hosted (no install required)

Connect directly to the hosted endpoint — nothing to install or maintain:

Claude Code / Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mapbox-docs": {
      "url": "https://mcp-docs.mapbox.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

npx (runs locally, no install)

Claude Code — run claude mcp add:

claude mcp add mapbox-docs -- npx -y @mapbox/mcp-docs-server

Claude Desktop — add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mapbox-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@mapbox/mcp-docs-server"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor / VS Code — add the same mcpServers block to your editor's MCP settings file.

Docker
