Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Maptiler every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

maptiler

maptiler_batch_geocode

Forward-geocode up to 50 queries in one request. Returns a JSON ARRAY of GeoJSON FeatureCollections, one per query, in order. API: GET /geocoding/{q1;q2;...}.json.

maptiler_geocode

Search for a place, address, or POI by name and get matching locations as GeoJSON features. e.g. 'Zurich' or '1600 Pennsylvania Ave'. API: GET /geocoding/{query}.json.

maptiler_geolocate_ip

Geolocates the IP address making the request — from a hosted Worker this is the server's egress IP, not the end-user's. API: GET /geolocation/ip.json.

maptiler_get_data_features

Fetch the GeoJSON FeatureCollection of a MapTiler-hosted dataset by its data id. API: GET /data/{dataId}/features.json.

maptiler_get_elevation

Look up ground elevation at up to 50 coordinates. Returns an array of [lng, lat, elevation] triples. API: GET /elevation/{locations}.json.

maptiler_reverse_geocode

Find the place(s) at a given longitude/latitude, returned as GeoJSON features. API: GET /geocoding/{longitude},{latitude}.json.

maptiler_search_coordinate_systems

Search MapTiler's CRS/EPSG database by free text or key:value filters (e.g. 'code:4326', 'kind:CRS-PROJCRS'). API: GET /coordinates/search/{query}.json.

maptiler_transform_coordinates

Transform up to 50 coordinate pairs from a source coordinate reference system to a target one (EPSG codes). API: GET /coordinates/transform/{coordinates}.json.

Maptiler — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Maptiler do?

It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: maptiler_batch_geocode, maptiler_geocode, maptiler_geolocate_ip, maptiler_get_data_features, maptiler_get_elevation, maptiler_reverse_geocode and 2 more. 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 Maptiler 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 170 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Maptiler?

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 Maptiler need an API key?

No. Maptiler completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Maptiler?

It answers our handshake in 170 ms on average, which is faster than 72% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Maptiler open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
