Connect Mapbox to your AI agent
Mapbox is a platform that provides mapping, navigation, and location data services for developers to integrate into their applications.
We set up the connection using your own Mapbox account, with keys you control, and keep it running. Your agent picks it up and starts doing the work.
Actions
What your agent can do in Mapbox
Each one is a real action the agent can take on its own, the same things a person clicking around Mapbox could do. Read-only by default; write actions are confirmed against your policy.
- Batch Geocode V6 Tool to perform batch geocoding with up to 1000 queries in a single request. Use when you need to geocode multiple locations efficiently (forward, reverse, or structured). Supports mixing query types in the same batch.
- Forward Geocode V5 Tool to search for places by name or address using Mapbox Geocoding v5 API (forward geocoding). Use when you need to convert place names or addresses to geographic coordinates using the v5 endpoint.
- Batch Geocoding Tool to perform batch forward or reverse geocoding for multiple locations. Use when you need consistent geocoding of up to 50 queries in one call.
- Forward Geocoding Tool to convert free-form or structured address into geographic coordinates and place features. Use when you need forward geocoding from text or address components.
- Permanent Forward Geocoding Tool to perform permanent forward geocoding. Use when you need enterprise-grade permanent geocoding after confirming account privileges.
- Permanent Reverse Geocoding Tool to perform permanent reverse geocoding. Use after obtaining coordinates to get cacheable place data. Example: lon=-73.989, lat=40.733
- Reverse Geocoding Tool to reverse geocode coordinates into place names. Use after obtaining coordinates.
- Get Access Token Tool to extract and validate Mapbox access token from connection metadata. Use when you need a valid token for downstream actions.
- Get Isochrone Tool to calculate areas reachable within a specified amount of time or distance from a location. Use when you need to visualize travel time or distance zones for routing analysis.
- Get Map Matching Tool to snap fuzzy GPS traces to roads on the road network. Use when you need to clean up inaccurate location traces for display or analysis.
- Get Optimization V1 Tool to calculate optimal driving routes and trips that visit a set of waypoints. Use when you need to find the best order to visit multiple locations with optimized routing.
- Get Sprite Tool to retrieve a sprite image or its JSON document from a Mapbox style. Use when you need sprite assets for rendering map icons. Sprites are collections of small icons used in map styles. The JSON format returns metad…
- Get Static Image Request a static map image from a Mapbox Studio style. Returns a PNG or JPEG image of the specified map area with customizable parameters including location, zoom level, camera angle, and optional overlays like markers…
- Get Static Tiles Tool to retrieve raster tiles from a Mapbox Studio style. Use when you need map tiles for specific coordinates and zoom levels. Returns PNG or JPG raster tiles that can be assembled to create map visualizations. Tiles f…
- Get Token Information Tool to retrieve information about a Mapbox access token and validate its status. Use when you need to check token validity or retrieve token metadata.
- Get Vector Tiles Tool to retrieve vector tiles from Mapbox-hosted vector tilesets. Use when you need tile data for mapping applications at specific zoom levels and coordinates.
- Map Matching (POST) Tool to snap GPS coordinates to the road network using POST method for longer coordinate lists. Use when you have GPS traces to match to roads (2-100 coordinates).
- Query Tile Features Tool to retrieve data about specific features from vector tilesets based on a location. Use when you need to query tileset features at a geographic point, such as finding buildings, roads, or points of interest near coo…
- Request Style Embed HTML Retrieve embeddable HTML for a Mapbox style that can be embedded in an iframe. Returns a complete HTML document with Mapbox GL JS code that renders an interactive map with the specified style. Useful for quickly embeddi…
- Retrieve Directions Tool to retrieve directions between waypoints. Use when you need navigation routes with optional turn-by-turn instructions after confirming origin and destination.
- Retrieve Font Glyph Ranges Tool to retrieve font glyph ranges as PBF tiles. Use when you have confirmed the font name, codepoint range, and valid token.
- Retrieve Marker Tool to retrieve a standalone marker image without any background map. Returns a PNG image file of the specified marker type. Use when you need to obtain marker icons for display or reference purposes.
- Retrieve Matrix Retrieve a travel time and distance matrix between multiple locations. Use this tool when you need to calculate travel times and/or distances between many origin-destination pairs efficiently (e.g., comparing routes fro…
- Retrieve Searchbox Place Details Tool to retrieve full details for a specific place by its Mapbox ID. Use when you have a mapbox_id from a search suggestion and need complete place information.
- Retrieve Style Retrieves the complete Mapbox style specification as JSON, including all layers, sources, sprites, and configuration. A Mapbox style defines how a map is rendered, including data sources, layer styling, fonts, and sprit…
- Retrieve Style WMTS Retrieve a WMTS (Web Map Tile Service) capabilities document for a Mapbox style. This action returns an OGC-compliant WMTS XML document that describes how to access map tiles for the specified style. The document includ…
- Retrieve Tileset Metadata Tool to retrieve metadata for a Mapbox tileset. Use when you need TileJSON details including bounds, zooms, and layer info.
- Reverse Geocoding V6 Tool to convert geographic coordinates to place names using Geocoding v6 API. Use when you need to perform reverse geocoding from latitude/longitude coordinates.
- Search Box Reverse Geocoding Tool to convert coordinates to places using the Search Box API (reverse geocoding). Use when you need to find place names, addresses, or points of interest for given coordinates.
- Search Box Forward Tool to search for places by name or address using the Search Box API. Use when you need to find locations, addresses, or points of interest based on a text query.
- Search by Category Tool to search for places by category (e.g., restaurants, hotels, coffee shops). Use when you need to find POIs in a specific category, optionally filtered by location, bounding box, or proximity.
- Search Box Suggest Tool to get autocomplete suggestions for a partial search query. Use when you need address or place suggestions as users type, before retrieving full details.
Setup
How we connect it
- 1
Connect your account
You create a key in Mapbox, a key you create and control, and paste it in once. It lives in a secrets store on your server, not with us.
- 2
Set the guardrails
Read-only by default. You choose which write actions the agent may take, and anything outside that policy gets confirmed with you first.
- 3
We keep it running
Health checks on every connection, updates handled for you, and we watch the first week of activity to make sure the work lands.
FAQ
Mapbox questions, answered.
With a key you create and control. You paste it in once, it is stored in a secrets store on your server, permissions are scoped to the minimum the agent needs, and you can revoke it at any time.
The actions Mapbox's API allows, the same things a person clicking around the app could do. Connections start read-only by default; write actions are confirmed against the policy you set before the agent takes them.
Connections are priced per tool on top of the base plan. Some are included, some are premium. See pricing for how connection charges work.
Standard tools are ready inside 7 business days of the setup call. We test the connection end to end, walk you through how the agent uses it, and watch the first week of activity.
