How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security66
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation check failed: no authorisation is required to call this server, and it exposes a tool marked destructive (mapsdata_cancel_scrape). See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root. View diagnostics → Pass
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability72
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 770 tokens (~96/item across 8 items; 8 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management7
- Stability observed for 2 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage82
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 47% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 8 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 9 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities60
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
mapsdata_cancel_scrape Cancel a scrape ~58
Cancel a queued or running scrape. A queued scrape costs nothing. CANCELLING A RUNNING SCRAPE STILL BILLS the leads already delivered, so confirm with the user before calling this.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| job_id | string | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
mapsdata_get_download_link Get a download link ~89
Get a link to a finished scrape's results. The link expires in 15 minutes, so hand it to the user promptly rather than storing it.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| format | string | – | – |
| job_id | string | yes | – |
| scope | string | – | 'emails' is rows with a deliverable email, which is what usage is billed on. 'all' is every scraped row. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
mapsdata_get_scrape Check a scrape ~81
Get the current state of one scrape. This is an INSTANT SNAPSHOT of a job that runs for minutes to hours. Do NOT call it repeatedly in a loop. The response includes next_action, the suggested next step for the job's current status. MapsData also emails the user when a scrape finishes.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| job_id | string | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
mapsdata_get_usage Check plan usage ~41
How much of this month's lead allowance is left, and the largest single scrape this plan allows. Read max_rows_this_scrape before choosing a total_limit.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
mapsdata_list_regions List valid regions ~54
List the exact region names a scrape accepts for a country. Submit them verbatim. Abbreviations like 'TX' are rejected, because the postal tables key on the full name.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| country | string | – | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
mapsdata_list_scrapes List recent scrapes ~36
List this workspace's recent scrapes, newest first.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | – |
| status | string | – | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
mapsdata_search_categories Search Google Maps categories ~84
Search the Google Maps business categories MapsData can scrape. CALL THIS FIRST, before mapsdata_start_scrape: a scrape's query must be one of these exact categories, and a free-text guess like 'plumbing companies' is rejected.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | – |
| query | string | yes | Substring to search for, e.g. 'plumb'. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
mapsdata_start_scrape Start a scrape ~251
Start scraping Google Maps businesses and their emails. Returns IMMEDIATELY with a job id; the scrape itself takes 5 minutes to several hours. Before calling this, confirm the category with mapsdata_search_categories and the region with mapsdata_list_regions. Those two mistakes are the overwhelming majority of rejections. This consumes the user's monthly lead allowance. Set dry_run to check a request against every rule without spending anything.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| cities | array | – | Named cities instead of whole regions. |
| country | string | – | – |
| dry_run | boolean | – | Validate against every rule and return the plan WITHOUT starting a scrape or spending quota. |
| list_name | string | – | Label for the list. Defaults to the query. |
| query | string | yes | An exact Google Maps category, e.g. 'Plumber'. Verify it with mapsdata_search_categories first. |
| states | array | – | Full region names, e.g. ['Texas']. Not abbreviations. Use this or cities, not both. |
| total_limit | integer | yes | Rows to scrape. Read max_rows_this_scrape from mapsdata_get_usage first: a larger request is reduced to the allowance left this cycle, not rejected. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
How do I install the MapsData MCP server?
MapsData is a hosted endpoint at https://mapsdata.ai/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.
