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.

batch

batch_get_documents_tool

Fetch the full content of multiple Mapbox documentation pages in a single call (max 20). More efficient than calling get_document_tool multiple times. Returns an array of results — failed pages include an error message rather than failing the whole batch.

document

get_document_tool

Fetch the full content of a specific Mapbox documentation page by URL. Use this after get_latest_mapbox_docs_tool to follow a link from the index and retrieve the complete page content. For fetching multiple pages at once, use batch_get_documents_tool instead.

mapbox

search_mapbox_docs_tool

Search Mapbox documentation by keyword or natural language query. Searches across API reference, GL JS, Help Center, Style Spec, Studio, Search JS, iOS/Android Maps and Navigation SDKs, and Tilesets. Returns ranked results with titles, URLs, and descriptions. Use get_document_tool to fetch the full content of a result page.

MCP Docs Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can MCP Docs Server do?

It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: batch_get_documents_tool, get_document_tool, search_mapbox_docs_tool. 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 MCP Docs Server working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 401 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect MCP Docs Server?

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 MCP Docs Server need an API key?

No. MCP Docs Server 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 MCP Docs Server?

It answers our handshake in 401 ms on average, which is faster than 33% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

How many people use MCP Docs Server?

The npm package @mapbox/mcp-docs-server was installed 129 times in the last week. Week over week that is +77%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is MCP Docs Server open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 1 stars on GitHub and 2 open issues. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp-docs.mapbox.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
