Mapsource Geospatial API MCP server

• basemap_catalogFree

  List raster and vector tile templates, source zoom ranges, dataset snapshots, and attribution. The catalog is public; tile requests require a subscription key.

• elevationFree

  Sample terrain at lat/lon. elevationMeters is clamped to zero; sampledMeters retains the raw model elevation. belowSeaLevel identifies negative samples and bathymetryTile references the source raster. Requires a subscription key. Not survey-grade.

• find_featuresFree

  Find cafes, restaurants, buildings, parks, schools, hospitals, transit stops, drinking water, or trails within a bounding box up to 0.5 degrees per axis. Returns OSM geometry and tags, subject to the output limit. Requires a subscription key or authorized x402 payment.

• geo_analyzeFree

  Measure or transform geometry using buffer, centroid, bbox, area, length, distance, intersect, union, difference, contains, intersects, nearest, simplify, or convex. Inputs accept GeoJSON, coordinate pairs, Overpass results, and result handles. Polygon overlay operations require areas. Use operation pipeline for up to 12 ordered steps and estimateOnly for cost estimation. Requires a subscription key.

• geo_dataFree

  Read service status, basemap catalog, point elevation, contours, usage, and metrics. Status includes subsystem availability and replication lag. Elevation returns surface and raw model heights. Metrics report request rates, success rates, latency percentiles, and dataset ages. Status and basemaps are public; other operations require a subscription key.

• geo_navigateFree

  Navigation operations: route, matrix, isochrone, map_match, snap, and optimize. Route accepts 2–10 waypoints and optional elevation profiles. Matrix supports up to 625 pairs. Map matching accepts up to 1,000 trace points; optimization accepts 3–20 stops. Results include geometry or travel costs and source metadata. Requires a subscription key. Unroutable requests return an error and require revised inputs.

• geo_renderFree

  Render a static PNG map from a center and zoom or bounding box. Supports GeoJSON overlays, result handles, and up to 50 labeled markers. Dark and light styles use raster rendering; other preset or profile names use vector rendering. Requires a subscription key.

• geo_searchFree

  Search places and retrieve geographic entities. Use lookup for local address, business, brand and landmark search with soft map-focus bias, strict house numbers, source IDs and ambiguity reporting. Use discover for POIs in a viewport, polygon or isochrone, optionally ranked by travel time. Other operations: search, autocomplete, nearby, reverse, details, geocode, resolve, entity. Requires a subscription key.

• geo_styleFree

  Configure semantic basemap styles. Operations: explain and schema retrieve public definitions; intent generates a proposal; preview compiles changes; save, list, revisions, diff, and delete manage profiles. Submit semantic manifests or preset patches, not raw MapLibre JSON. Authenticated operations affect the current key's profiles.

• isochroneFree

  Calculate reachable-area polygons from a coordinate for up to four travel-time bands. Returns GeoJSON for catchment, coverage, and accessibility analysis. Requires a subscription key.

• overpass_querywrite actionFree

  Execute bounded Overpass QL over OSM nodes, ways, relations, tags, geometry, areas, metadata, and spatial selectors. Historical attic queries are unsupported. Requires a subscription key or authorized x402 payment. Use service_status to retrieve the dataset timestamp.

• routeFree

  Calculate a turn-by-turn route between 2–10 waypoints. Supported costing: auto, bicycle, pedestrian, truck, motor_scooter, and bus. Returns GeoJSON, distance, duration, and maneuvers. Set elevation to true for a terrain profile with gain and loss. Requires a subscription key.

• service_statusFree

  Read Overpass engine readiness, dataset timestamp, billing state, and x402 payment mode. Public. Use geo_data with operation status for the full subsystem report.
