Mcp Docs Server
Pull Mapbox style specs, API references, and guides into the agent while designing or coding map UIs without managing API keys for docs alone.
Overview
Mapbox MCP Docs Server is a MCP server for the Build phase that lets AI assistants search and cite Mapbox docs, API references, and style specs without an access token.
What is this MCP server?
- No Mapbox token required—read-only docs and references
- Remote MCP at mcp-docs.mapbox.com plus npx @mapbox/mcp-docs-server
- Covers API references, style specs, and product guides
- Version 0.3.0; lightweight onboarding for new Mapbox users
- Complements token-backed mcp-devkit and mcp-server for a docs-first workflow
- Server version 0.3.0
- npm package @mapbox/mcp-docs-server
- Hosted remote: https://mcp-docs.mapbox.com/mcp
What problem does it solve?
You lose flow flipping between Mapbox doc pages while the agent invents outdated parameter names or style syntax.
Who is it for?
Builders exploring Mapbox or styling maps who want zero-token doc lookup from their agent.
Skip if: Production geocoding, routing, or isochrone calls that need live Mapbox API execution—use mcp-server or mcp-devkit-server.
What do I get? / Deliverables
The agent answers from current Mapbox documentation in the same session as your map feature code.
- Agent-grounded answers from Mapbox official docs and guides
- Faster style-spec and API reference lookup during implementation
