A maps MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor

Mapricot now has an MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other AI agents can geocode addresses, find places, plan routes, and locate IP addresses. It's a remote server, so there's nothing to install.

Connect your agent

Set it up in Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, or any other client that signs in with OAuth.

The first time your agent uses Mapricot, a browser window opens for you to sign in. You pick which account it bills to, which products it can use, and whether it can create browser keys. The agent never sees an API key, and if you're new to Mapricot, you can sign up on the way.

What your agent can do

The agent sees only the tools for the products you allow:

• Geocoding: the search tool finds addresses and named places, and the reverse tool finds the address at a point.
• Places: the nearby tool lists places of a kind around a point, nearest first, and the place tool looks one up by its ID.
• Routing: the route tool plans driving, walking, and cycling routes, the optimize_route tool puts up to 20 stops in the best order, and the isochrone tool shows how far you can go in a set time.
• IP geolocation: the ip_location tool finds the country, region, and city of an IP address.
• Map tiles: in apps that support MCP Apps, such as Claude, routes and reachable areas come with a map in the conversation, and the show_map tool puts any results on one.

Add a map to your site

Coding agents can also finish a job like "add a store map to my site" on their own. If you allow it when you sign in, the agent can create a browser key for your site's addresses with the create_key tool, then write the map code that uses it. The map loads Mapricot's free tiles, so map loads cost nothing.

Agents can only make browser keys, so no secret ends up in a chat, and their keys get no higher limits than the agent's own. Every key an agent makes shows on your API keys page, where you can revoke it.

For the code itself, point your agent at mapricot.com/llms.txt to read the docs as it writes.

Pricing

A tool call is an API request like any other, at the same price: your first 250,000 requests every 30 days are free, then $0.10 per 1,000. Connecting an agent, creating keys, and showing maps are free. To cap what an agent can spend, set a limit per minute or per 30 days on its agent key.

The MCP server page shows what it does at a glance, and the docs cover connecting, signing in, and limits in detail. If your agent gets stuck or you'd like another tool, I'd love to hear about it at support@mapricot.com.
