However, its capabilities are limited to the tools it has access to. Composio allows your OpenClaw to access Mapbox with authentication management handled for you. You can execute actions on Mapbox via your favorite OpenClaw interface (Telegram, WhatsApp, TUI, etc), whichever you prefer. ## Also integrate Mapbox with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mapbox/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mapbox/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mapbox/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mapbox/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mapbox/framework/codex) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mapbox/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mapbox/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mapbox/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mapbox/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mapbox/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mapbox/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mapbox/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mapbox/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### Why use Composio? Apart from a managed and hosted MCP server, you will get: - Programmatic tool calling allows LLMs to write its code in a remote workbench to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling. - Handling Large tool responses out of LLM context to minimize context rot. - Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 1000+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so LLMs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need. ## Connect Mapbox to OpenClaw ### How to install Mapbox with OpenClaw ### Using Composio API Key and Setup Prompt - Go to [dashboard.composio.dev](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?next=/~/org/connect/clients/openclaw&utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=openclaw&utm_content=setup_prompt) - Copy the setup prompt - Run it in your OpenClaw chat interface. - Authenticate Mapbox from the [dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?next=/~/org/connect/clients/openclaw&utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=openclaw&utm_content=authenticate) - Go back to your OpenClaw interface and start asking questions. ### Using OpenClaw/Composio Plugin 1. Install OpenClaw Composio plugin ```bash openclaw plugins install @composio/openclaw-plugin ``` ## What is the Mapbox MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Mapbox MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Mapbox account. It provides structured and secure access to your mapping and location data, so your agent can perform actions like geocoding addresses, calculating travel routes, retrieving map embeds, and analyzing travel matrices on your behalf. - Batch and individual geocoding: Instantly convert addresses or place names to geographic coordinates—or reverse geocode coordinates to place names—using both batch and individual tools. - Route and directions retrieval: Let your agent fetch optimized driving, walking, or cycling directions between waypoints, including turn-by-turn instructions when needed. - Distance and travel time analysis: Have the agent generate travel time and distance matrices to compare routes or plan logistics across multiple locations. - Map style embed generation: Retrieve ready-to-use embeddable HTML for your custom Mapbox map styles, perfect for sharing or displaying maps in web apps. - Permanent geocoding and font data retrieval: Access enterprise-grade, cacheable geocoding data or fetch font glyph ranges for custom rendering and advanced mapping use cases. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `MAPBOX_GEOCODE_BATCH_V6` | Batch Geocode V6 | Tool to perform batch geocoding with up to 1000 queries in a single request.

Use this tool when you need to calculate travel times and/or distances between many origin-destination pairs efficiently (e.g., comparing routes from multiple starting points to multiple destinations, finding the nearest location from a set, or optimizing multi-stop routing). Returns matrices showing durations (in seconds) and distances (in meters) between all coordinate pairs. | | `MAPBOX_RETRIEVE_SEARCHBOX_PLACE` | Retrieve Searchbox Place Details | Tool to retrieve full details for a specific place by its Mapbox ID. Use when you have a mapbox_id from a search suggestion and need complete place information. | | `MAPBOX_RETRIEVE_STYLE` | Retrieve Style | Retrieves the complete Mapbox style specification as JSON, including all layers, sources, sprites, and configuration. A Mapbox style defines how a map is rendered, including data sources, layer styling, fonts, and sprites. This action returns the full style specification conforming to the Mapbox Style Specification, which can be used with Mapbox GL JS, mobile SDKs, or for analyzing map configurations. Use this action when you need to: - Inspect or analyze a map style's configuration - Retrieve style definitions for programmatic rendering - Examine layers, sources, and styling rules - Get complete style specifications for custom map implementations | | `MAPBOX_RETRIEVE_STYLE_WMTS` | Retrieve Style WMTS | Retrieve a WMTS (Web Map Tile Service) capabilities document for a Mapbox style.

With a standalone Mapbox MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Mapbox tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Mapbox and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with OpenClaw? Yes, you can. OpenClaw fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Mapbox tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Mapbox while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Mapbox scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Mapbox data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
