Official serverRemote + localDatabases
1. Add the server
Paste into .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global)
{
"mcpServers": {
"mapbox": {
"url": "https://mcp.mapbox.com/mcp"
}
}
}2. Sign in
Cursor prompts you to sign in the first time a remote OAuth server is used. Mapbox is hosted by Mapbox, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.
3. Try it
Ask Cursor for something Mapbox can do. Geocoding, POI search, directions, isochrones and static maps. Approve the first tool call and check the result before allowing write actions automatically.
- · Remote servers take a url; local servers take command and args.
- · Values can reference ${env:NAME} so secrets stay out of the file.
