Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog) Scored 2026-11-04. - **Supply Chain Security**: 98/100 - No malware found by supply-chain analysis. - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies. - No install/post-install scripts declared. - 31 of 96 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. - **Provenance & Transparency**: 97/100 - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. - Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to 21prnv/mapcast). - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT). - Actively maintained (last published 3 days ago). - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. - **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 62/100 - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent). - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 790 tokens (~395/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. - **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100 - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window). - **Tool Coverage**: 100/100 - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name). - 100% of tool parameters carry a description. - **Tool Safety**: 100/100 - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured. - We read all 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation. - An AI judge read all 2 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it. - **Capabilities**: 100/100 - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28. **Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm. ## Install ### How do I install the mapcast MCP server? mapcast runs locally as an npm package, launched with npx -y mapcast. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation. ### Claude ```bash claude mcp add 21prnv-mapcast -- npx -y mapcast ``` ### Cursor ```json { "mcpServers": { "21prnv-mapcast": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "mapcast" ] } } } ``` ### VS Code ```json { "servers": { "21prnv-mapcast": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "mapcast" ] } } } ``` ### Codex ```bash codex mcp add 21prnv-mapcast -- npx -y mapcast ``` ### opencode ```json { "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json", "mcp": { "21prnv-mapcast": { "type": "local", "command": [ "npx", "-y", "mapcast" ], "enabled": true } } } ``` ### OpenClaw ```bash openclaw mcp add 21prnv-mapcast --command npx --arg -y --arg mapcast ``` ### Hermes ```yaml mcp_servers: 21prnv-mapcast: command: "npx" args: ["-y", "mapcast"] ``` ### Netclaw ```json { "McpServers": { "21prnv-mapcast": { "Transport": "stdio", "Command": "npx", "Arguments": [ "-y", "mapcast" ] } } } ``` ### Vellum ```bash assistant mcp add 21prnv-mapcast -t stdio -c npx -a -y mapcast ``` ### Other ```json { "mcpServers": { "21prnv-mapcast": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "mapcast" ] } } } ``` ## Changelog Every change recorded for this component, newest first.

Returns the file path, the imagery credit line (must be shown wherever the video is published) and a small preview of the final frame. Highlights countries on real satellite imagery (or an old paper map) with a tracing border, colour fill, glow and label, the look of documentary/explainer YouTube videos. Write a scene: { "highlights": [{ "country": "India" }] } is a complete one. Add only what the request asks for; defaults look good. Map requests to fields: a colour -> highlights[].color; "show the flag" -> style "flag"; "rest of the world grey/dark" -> style "highlight"; "just the border" -> style "outline"; "old map / history / parchment" -> basemap "paper"; "from space / the globe / spinning Earth" -> camera "globe"; "zoom in from far away" -> camera "zoom-in"; "travel/tour/go from X to Y" -> camera "fly" with highlights in visiting order; a state or province -> highlights[].region; "Shorts/Reels/TikTok/vertical" -> aspect "9:16"; "mark the capital" -> capital true; "compare countries by " -> data.values with a title. Borders follow the highlighted country's official view of disputed areas (pov "auto"). A 5 second 1080p video takes roughly 10-30 seconds. Use preview_map first when unsure how a scene will look. Input parameters: - `at` (number): Stills only: the second to capture. Default: the final frame. - `output` (string): Where to save it; the extension picks the format (.png, .jpg, .jpeg, .mp4, .gif). Relative paths resolve against the server's working directory. Default: mapcast-output/map-
