Mapnetwork MCP missed 2 checks this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of 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.

generate
generate_map
Generate a styled map image centered on a single place. Returns a download+link as text, not image bytes. Example: place='Tokyo Station'.
generate_markers_map
Generate a map with multiple pinned locations. Example: markers=[{"label": "Tokyo Tower", "link": "https://www.tokyotower.co.jp/"}, {"label": "Zojoji Temple"}].
generate_route_map
Compute a walking/driving route between two places and generate a map with it overlaid. Both endpoints are pinned automatically — do not also call generate_markers_map for them. Example: from='Tokyo Station', to='Tokyo Tower', mode='walking'.

Mapnetwork MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Mapnetwork MCP do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: generate_map, generate_markers_map, generate_route_map. 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 Mapnetwork MCP working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 90 of 91 checks got a reply (98.9%), average response time 932 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Did Mapnetwork MCP ever remove tools?
Yes. compute_route, generate_hyperlink_map are no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.
How do I connect Mapnetwork MCP?
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 Mapnetwork MCP need an API key?
No. Mapnetwork MCP 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 Mapnetwork MCP?
It answers our handshake in 932 ms on average, which is faster than 9% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Mapnetwork MCP?
The pypi package mapnetwork-mcp was installed 747 times in the last week. Week over week that is +22%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Mapnetwork MCP open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 0 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mapnetwork.app, which runs on its operator's own terms.
