## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-10-18.

- **Endpoint Security**: 57/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 2 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 47/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2165 tokens (~433/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 10/100
  - Stability observed for 3 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 92/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 77% 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 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 6 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.

## Install

### How do I install the Aeralas Maps MCP server?

Aeralas Maps is a hosted endpoint at https://maps.aeralas.com/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.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-10-17 (score 60, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 3 to 7. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 1 days of observed history at the previous scan, 2 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-10-16 (score 59, 0)

- [security] The server rewrote its instructions, which are the text every model session reads
- [security] Tool “make_map” rewrote its description, which is the text the model reads
- [functional improvement] Stability: unverified → 0.03

## MCP tools (5)

### `get_service_info` (~40 tokens)

About Aeralas Maps

What the maps contain, the price, imagery coverage and quality, how to pay over x402, and how a person can buy one directly. Free.

### `check_map` (~502 tokens)

Check a map layout (free)

Lay out the map and report what it had to compromise on -- overlapping labels, truncated text, annotations off the page -- plus the imagery quality and what was drawn, so drafted labels can be edited. Returns no image. Free; iterate here before make_map.

Input parameters:

- `address` (string): US street address, city and state. Geocoded via the US Census.
- `annotations` (array): Callouts to draw. Placement, collision avoidance and leader lines are automatic.
- `autoLabel`: Draft tenant callouts from OpenStreetMap and road names from Census TIGER before drawing your own. Use this when you do not know what is at the location. Pass an object to control how many: fewer lab…
- `center` (array): [longitude, latitude] in WGS84. Alternative to address.
- `dpi` (integer)
- `groundWidthM` (number): True ground width of the frame in meters. 500 fits a typical retail plaza; 20000-40000 makes a regional map, where autoLabel drafts cities, highway shields and water instead of tenants.
- `imagerySourceId` (string): Imagery source id. Defaults to the sharpest source covering the frame.
- `labelScale` (number): Text size multiplier applied to every annotation that does not set its own textScale. Drop to ~0.8 to fit more labels; raise for a map read at arm’s length.
- `mapId` (string): Revise a map you already bought. Returned as X-Map-Id on your paid export. Re-exports are free for 7 days as long as the FRAME is unchanged — change labels, styling, overlays and page elements freely…
- `orientation` (string)
- `overlays` (array): Thematic layers drawn under the annotations. A legend is added automatically. fema-flood: regulated floodplain (blank means no mapped hazard — FEMA draws Zone X with no symbol). nwi-wetlands: USFWS N…
- `pageElements` (object): Page furniture. Turn elements off to free up room for labels.
- `pageSize` (string)
- `title` (string): Title block heading. Defaults to the address.
- `titleBlockScale` (number): Size multiplier for the title block.

### `preview_map` (~486 tokens)

Preview a map (free, watermarked)

Render the map at screen size with a PREVIEW watermark and return it as an image, so the user can see the layout before buying. Same request as make_map. Free.

Input parameters:

- `address` (string): US street address, city and state. Geocoded via the US Census.
- `annotations` (array): Callouts to draw. Placement, collision avoidance and leader lines are automatic.
- `autoLabel`: Draft tenant callouts from OpenStreetMap and road names from Census TIGER before drawing your own. Use this when you do not know what is at the location. Pass an object to control how many: fewer lab…
- `center` (array): [longitude, latitude] in WGS84. Alternative to address.
- `dpi` (integer)
- `groundWidthM` (number): True ground width of the frame in meters. 500 fits a typical retail plaza; 20000-40000 makes a regional map, where autoLabel drafts cities, highway shields and water instead of tenants.
- `imagerySourceId` (string): Imagery source id. Defaults to the sharpest source covering the frame.

- `pageElements` (object): Page furniture. Turn elements off to free up room for labels.
- `pageSize` (string)
- `title` (string): Title block heading. Defaults to the address.
- `titleBlockScale` (number): Size multiplier for the title block.

### `make_map` (~514 tokens)

Buy a print-ready map

Render the print-resolution map and return a download link. Costs $1 USDC, paid over x402: the first call returns the payment requirements; sign and call again with the payment. Charged only if the render succeeds. Includes 7 days of free revisions via revise_map.

Input parameters:

- `address` (string): US street address, city and state. Geocoded via the US Census.
- `annotations` (array): Callouts to draw. Placement, collision avoidance and leader lines are automatic.

### `revise_map` (~514 tokens)

Revise a map you bought (free)

Re-export a map bought with make_map, free for 7 days: change labels, annotations, styling, overlays or page elements. The frame must stay the same -- address or center, groundWidthM, pageSize, orientation, dpi. Requires the mapId make_map returned.

Input parameters:

- `address` (string): US street address, city and state. Geocoded via the US Census.
- `annotations` (array): Callouts to draw. Placement, collision avoidance and leader lines are automatic.
