ExplorationMaps does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 60.4% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

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 supported official mineral-claim registries by holder/company, claim number, claim name, or geographic bounding box. Use this to answer factual questions about claim records or to identify the ground that should be mapped. Results are registry records, not a legal title opinion or survey.
preview
preview_exploration_map
Create a professional mining claim, mineral tenure, investor-presentation, project-location, or infrastructure map from a supported public mineral registry. Use this when the user asks to make, draw, visualize, map, or present a mineral exploration property or claims. It returns a shareable ExplorationMaps URL. This tool does not accept uploaded drill or GeoJSON data; those require a connected ExplorationMaps account.

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 29 of 48 checks got a reply (60.4%), average response time 439 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 with the file path 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 439 ms on average, which is faster than 36% 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 and 1 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
