Mapbox for AI agents
Agents read Mapbox at once. Changes and sends are held for a person's approval by default.
About Mapbox
Mapbox is a platform that provides mapping, navigation, and location data services for developers to integrate into their applications.
What an agent can do in Mapbox
Every Mapbox action is classed by the platform as a read, a change or a send. Reads run at once. Changes and sends are held for a person by default.
Runs at once (reads)
Looks things up in Mapbox without asking first. 24 actions.
- Batch Geocode V6Tool 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
- Get IsochroneTool 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 Optimization V1Tool 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 Token InformationTool to retrieve information about a Mapbox access token and validate its status. Use when you need to check token validity or retrieve token metadata.
- Retrieve Searchbox Place DetailsTool 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.
- Reverse Geocoding V6Tool 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 GeocodingTool 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 by CategoryTool 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 SuggestTool to get autocomplete suggestions for a partial search query. Use when you need address or place suggestions as users type, before retrieving full details.
- Batch GeocodingTool to perform batch forward or reverse geocoding for multiple locations. Use when you need consistent geocoding of up to 50 queries in one call.
- Permanent Reverse GeocodingTool to perform permanent reverse geocoding. Use after obtaining coordinates to get cacheable place data. Example: lon=-73.989, lat=40.733
- Reverse GeocodingTool to reverse geocode coordinates into place names. Use after obtaining coordinates.

- Get Access TokenTool to extract and validate Mapbox access token from connection metadata. Use when you need a valid token for downstream actions.
- Get Map MatchingTool 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 SpriteTool 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 f
- Get Vector TilesTool to retrieve vector tiles from Mapbox-hosted vector tilesets. Use when you need tile data for mapping applications at specific zoom levels and coordinates.
- Query Tile FeaturesTool 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 o
- Request Style Embed HTMLRetrieve 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
- Retrieve DirectionsTool 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 RangesTool to retrieve font glyph ranges as PBF tiles. Use when you have confirmed the font name, codepoint range, and valid token.
- Retrieve MatrixRetrieve 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., c
- Retrieve StyleRetrieves 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 stylin
- Retrieve Style WMTSRetrieve 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.
- Retrieve Tileset MetadataTool to retrieve metadata for a Mapbox tileset. Use when you need TileJSON details including bounds, zooms, and layer info.
Held for approval by default (changes and sends)
Held for a person's approval by default. The approval is recorded and the action is sent once, never twice, with 10 seconds to undo. 5 actions.
- Forward Geocode V5Tool 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.
- Search Box ForwardTool 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.
- Forward GeocodingTool 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 GeocodingTool to perform permanent forward geocoding. Use when you need enterprise-grade permanent geocoding after confirming account privileges.
- 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).
