squidmaps MCP server

Which MCP servers are squidmaps's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Registry nameio.squidmaps/squidmapsverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under squidmaps.io. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

On 2026-10-30 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 159 ms.

  • Whether its tools do the product's job has not been judged yet.
  • Checked on 4 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.

Once connected

  • create_map, update_map change data without a sign-in: anyone with the address can call them.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?

Worth a look

  • Tools that change data, on a server that answers without a sign-in: create_map, update_map

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

  • get_map_spec

    Read this first when someone wants a map: of places, a route or an area, or of data like a CSV or GeoJSON, to look at or to share with a link. It's how squidmaps maps are written: GeoJSON features, how they're styled, and their popups…

  • create_map

    Make a web map of places, routes or areas, and get a link anyone can open to see it, with no code and no account. Write it as the map document get_map_spec describes. The link works for an hour after the map last changed; opening it, the…

  • update_map

    Change a map made with create_map when the person asks for changes, keeping its link: anyone who has the link sees the change, and it keeps working another hour. Send the whole changed map document, not just what changed: it replaces the…

  • preview_map

    A picture of a map made with create_map, as people who open its link see it, to check it before you share the link: where things are, their styles, its title panel and legend. 1200×630 by default, the shape most people see it in. Ask for…

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "squidmaps": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://squidmaps.io/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http squidmaps https://squidmaps.io/api/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://squidmaps.io/api/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
