Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Available tools 3

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

mapping
get_mapping_capabilities
Return the map types, mineral-registry jurisdictions, context overlays, search modes, and styles supported by ExplorationMaps. Use this when deciding whether ExplorationMaps can fulfill a mapping request or when a jurisdiction is unclear.
mineral
search_mineral_claims
Search public mineral-claim registries by holder, exact claim number, claim name, or geographic bounding box; provide query, bbox, or both. Claim-name search is available for British Columbia and US BLM jurisdictions. Returns claim number as a string, name, holder, status, expiry, area and centroid when the registry supplies them. Cluster results geographically before selecting a specific project. Results are informational, not a legal title opinion or survey.
preview
preview_exploration_map
Create a branded mineral exploration map from public registry claims and return a shareable URL. Provide at least one of search, location or claim_numbers. For a specific project, search its claims first and pass exact claim_numbers. Supply published facts and branding when known; never invent ownership, targets, grades or coordinates. Supports separate neighbouring claims, a project callout, locator inset, and map basemap selection. Drill and NI 43-101 layouts require user-supplied data or qualified review; this tool does not generate drill results. Free use allows 10 previews per hour; allowance in the result reports how many remain.

ExplorationMaps — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can ExplorationMaps do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_mapping_capabilities, preview_exploration_map, search_mineral_claims. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is ExplorationMaps working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 21 of 91 checks got a reply (23.1%), average response time 298 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists ExplorationMaps as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect ExplorationMaps?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does ExplorationMaps need an API key?
No. ExplorationMaps completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is ExplorationMaps?
It answers our handshake in 298 ms on average, which is faster than 46% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is ExplorationMaps open source?
We cannot say either way: written in JavaScript, 0 stars on GitHub and 8 open issues, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
