MCP Server for Mappls / MapMyIndia APIs

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes Mappls / MapMyIndia APIs as tools for AI assistants like Claude. Enables geocoding, reverse geocoding, place search, nearby discovery, routing, and distance calculations — all focused on India's mapping data.

Tools

Setup

Get API credentials

Register at https://apis.mappls.com to get either:

• An API key (simpler, for personal/testing use)
• OAuth client credentials (recommended for production)

Authentication

Set one of the following in your environment:

Option A — OAuth (Client Credentials): RECOMMENDED

export MAPPLS_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
export MAPPLS_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret

Option B — API Key:

export MAPPLS_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mapmyindia": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@bhuvsh/mcp-mapmyindia"],
