Mapnetwork MCP server

mapnetwork-mcp

MCP server for MapNetwork — generate styled map images (PNG / SVG) for any location on Earth, directly from Claude or any MCP-compatible AI assistant.

Features

• Generate maps from a place name, a list of markers, or a walking/driving route
• 11 color themes (white, darkBlue, darkGreen, popArt, lightBlue, lightGreen, beige, magenta, gray, black, brown)
• PNG or SVG output, saved to your Downloads folder
• Slow-to-generate maps are handled automatically — generate tools poll internally, and downloadmap can pick up a job later if needed
• Re-download a previously generated map in a different theme or format without regenerating
• Open any generated map in the MapNetwork web editor for manual customization

Example Usage

Installation

Claude Desktop

Using the .mcpb extension file (recommended)

The easiest way to install is via the .mcpb extension file available on the Releases page.

1. Download the latest .mcpb file from the Releases page.
2. Open Claude Desktop and go to Settings → Extensions.
3. Drag the downloaded .mcpb file onto the Extensions panel to install.

Manual configuration

Add the following to your claudedesktopconfig.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mapnetwork": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mapnetwork-mcp"],
      "alwaysAllow": ["generate_map", "generate_markers_map", "generate_route_map", "download_map", "redownload_map"]
    }
  }
}

If you use pip instead of uvx:

pip install mapnetwork-mcp

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mapnetwork": {
      "command": "mapnetwork-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Remote MCP Server

You can also use MapNetwork through MCP without installing anything, via the remote MCP server:
