Available components
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 Security89
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, but the challenge carries no valid RFC 9728 metadata, so a client cannot discover where to get a token. 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 check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability77
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 6861 tokens (~228/item across 30 items; 29 tools + 1 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage89
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 67% 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
- All 4 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 30 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the ShowMeOnMap MCP server?
ShowMeOnMap is a hosted endpoint at https://showmeonmap.com/api/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.

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 →
add_annotation Place an annotation on the map (direct) ~187
Add a user-placed label at a specific coordinate. Annotations are independent of layers and live in their own id namespace. Strict: the id must not already be in use by another CURRENTLY-placed annotation (removed ids can be recycled).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| color | string | – | Optional CSS color for the marker + label. |
| coords | array | yes | [lng, lat] in WGS84. |
| id | string | yes | Stable id for this annotation — caller-supplied. |
| label | string | – | Optional text rendered at the point. |
| map_id | string | yes | – |
| rationale | string | yes | Short audit-log label (≤300 chars) stating the user-facing goal this call serves, e.g. "add wildfire layer for the user's California query". Required on every call. Stored in the operations log so ma… |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
add_fusion_layer Add bivariate fusion layer ~233
Spatially join two existing layers and add a new layer that encodes both values per region as a 3x3 bivariate choropleth. Both layers must already exist in the workspace (call build_map or add_layer first). Auto-detects the numeric value field from each layer's viz config; pass value_field_a / value_field_b to override. Returns the new layer_id, correlation r, and matched-feature count. Required: map_id, layer_a_id, layer_b_id, rationale.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

add_layer Add a layer (direct) ~282
Append a fully-constructed LayerPlan to an existing workspace without going through NL. Pass the same shape the workspace pipeline emits — { id, title, source, viz, geometry, ... }. Prefer this when you already have a structured plan; otherwise use mutate_map. For the full LayerPlan and Op spec, fetch the MCP resource showmeonmap://docs/workspace-ops-spec.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| intent | string | – | Optional. Which mental model is this add_layer operating under? "primary-data" = the layer the user actually asked to see; "context-overlay" = supporting data layered on top of a primary; "reference-… |
| layerPlan | object | yes | Full LayerPlan object. Must include id, title, source, viz, geometry. |
| map_id | string | yes | map_id from a prior build_map call |
| rationale | string | yes | Short audit-log label (≤300 chars) stating the user-facing goal this call serves, e.g. "add wildfire layer for the user's California query". Required on every call. Stored in the operations log so ma… |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
build_map Build a map ~172
Create a new workspace from a natural-language query. Returns a map_id you can pass to mutate_map or get_state for follow-up actions. For the full Op catalog and predicate grammar that downstream tools (mutate_map, filter_layer, etc.) accept, fetch the MCP resource at showmeonmap://docs/workspace-ops-spec — do NOT guess the shapes.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | Natural language: "coffee shops in Tokyo", "GDP by country", "volcanoes in Indonesia", etc. |
| rationale | string | yes | Short audit-log label (≤300 chars) stating the user-facing goal this call serves, e.g. "add wildfire layer for the user's California query". Required on every call. Stored in the operations log so ma… |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
clear_filters Clear all filters on a layer (direct, gated) ~188
Wipe every predicate currently applied to a layer's filter chain, making every source feature visible again. Inverse of filter_layer. No-op on layers that have no existing filter. GATED: pass confirmed:true to proceed; otherwise a needs_confirmation envelope is returned.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| confirmed | boolean | – | Set to true to confirm this sensitive action. If omitted or false, the call returns a needs_confirmation envelope. Wiping a filter chain is recoverable via undo, but autonomous agents lack a UI surfa… |

No examples provided.
correlate_layers Compute correlation between two layers ~201
Spatially join two existing workspace layers and return the Pearson correlation coefficient r, sample size n, two-sided p-value approximation, plus human-readable strength and direction labels. Pure read — no layer is added, no op is committed, no credit charge. Use this when you want a numeric answer without rendering; use add_fusion_layer when the user wants the visualization. Required: map_id, layer_a_id, layer_b_id, rationale.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| layer_a_id | string | yes | – |
| layer_b_id | string | yes | – |

No examples provided.
export_image Export map as image ~174
Returns a deep-link URL that opens the map in the user's browser and automatically triggers a PNG download. The user clicks the link, the browser renders the map at full resolution with the legend composited (if legend: true), and the file downloads. There is no server-side rendering; the user's browser is the renderer. Required: map_id, rationale. Optional: format (png default), legend (true default).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
export_layer_data Export layer data ~183
Export a single layer's features as a downloadable file. Returns a URL with Content-Disposition: attachment so the user's browser downloads it. CSV drops geometry beyond a (lng, lat) centroid — for full polygon/line geometry, use format: "geojson". The URL is an unguessable capability link that does NOT expire — treat it as shareable-forever, not temporary. Required: map_id, layer_id, format, rationale.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

| format | string | yes | – |
| layer_id | string | yes | – |
| map_id | string | yes | – |

No examples provided.
export_workspace Export the workspace JSON ~150
Return the current workspace document (ops log + cursor + meta) plus the materialized mapPlan and layerFilters, in a shape suitable for save-to-file / share-by-URL / inspection. Pure read — no mutation, no credit charge. Use this when you want the full raw state for serialization; use get_state when you want the compact envelope for display.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| map_id | string | yes | – |

No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
filter_layer Filter a layer (direct) ~306
Narrow a layer to features matching a structured predicate. `append:true` (default) conjoins with any existing filter; `append:false` replaces the chain.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| append | boolean | – | Default true. false replaces the layer's existing filter chain. |
| intent | string | – | Optional. Which mental model is this filter operating under? "narrow" = generic shrink-the-set; "isolate-outliers" = pull out anomalies for inspection; "compare-subset" = pre-step before a side-by-si… |

No examples provided.
focus_area Focus a layer on a named area ~236
Refine an existing layer to a NAMED area the server resolves from OpenStreetMap — a street corridor ("Broadway from Arbutus Street to Main Street"), a place ("Mount Pleasant"), or an intersection surroundings. Pass names only, never coordinates; unresolvable names return a clarification with real nearby candidates instead of guessed geometry. Emits ordinary undoable ops (filter / new layer + camera) and a grounded summary like "kept 37 of 150 features". Costs 1 credit when a mutation lands; clarifications are refunded.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| areaRef | – | yes | – |
| layerId | string | yes | – |
| map_id | string | yes | – |
| mode | string | – | filter (default): hide features outside, reversible. select: copy matches into a new layer. clip: new layer with geometry trimmed at the boundary. |

No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
mutate_map Mutate a map ~192
Apply a natural-language instruction to an existing workspace. Valid mutations: filter a layer, remove a layer, change camera, change basemap. For ambiguous instructions the tool emits a clarification field. For unrelated instructions it emits outOfScope — build a new map in that case. For the full Op catalog and predicate grammar, fetch the MCP resource showmeonmap://docs/workspace-ops-spec.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| instruction | string | yes | e.g., "filter to where magnitude is greater than 5", "change basemap to dark" |
| map_id | string | yes | map_id from a prior build_map call |
| rationale | string | yes | Short audit-log label (≤300 chars) stating the user-facing goal this call serves, e.g. "add wildfire layer for the user's California query". Required on every call. Stored in the operations log so ma… |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
query_features Query features from a layer (read-only) ~255
Evaluate a predicate against a layer's inline features and return the matching subset. No Op is emitted and the workspace is not mutated. Handy for introspection ("how many X match Y?") before deciding whether to filter, subset, or build a new layer.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|

redo Redo a previously-undone op ~151
Advance the workspace cursor by one toward the tail of the ops log, replaying the next op that was previously undone. Calling redo when the cursor is already at the tail (no undone ops to fast-forward) fails rather than silently no-op. Note: any new op applied via apply-op / mutate-map after an undo truncates the redo tail (standard edit-stack semantics).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| map_id | string | yes | – |

remove_annotation Remove an annotation (direct) ~137
Drop a previously-placed annotation by id. Strict: removing an already-removed or never-placed id fails. After removal, the id CAN be re-used by a later add_annotation (unlike layer ids, which are tombstoned for the session).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| annotationId | string | yes | – |
| map_id | string | yes | – |
| rationale | string | yes | Short audit-log label (≤300 chars) stating the user-facing goal this call serves, e.g. "add wildfire layer for the user's California query". Required on every call. Stored in the operations log so ma… |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
remove_layer Remove a layer (direct, destructive) ~198
Drop a layer from the workspace by id. Strict: removing an already-removed or never-added layer fails. Layer ids do NOT recycle — a removed id cannot be re-added later in the same workspace. GATED: this tool is destructive. Pass confirmed:true to proceed; otherwise a needs_confirmation envelope is returned.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| confirmed | boolean | – | Set to true to confirm this destructive action. If omitted or false, the call returns a needs_confirmation envelope. Layer ids are tombstoned — once removed, the same id cannot be re-added later in t… |

No examples provided.
rename_layer Rename a layer (direct) ~167
Change a layer's id from oldLayerId to newLayerId. Re-keys any existing filter chain and preserves insertion order among sibling layers. Strict: newLayerId must not already be in use (current OR tombstoned) in this workspace. Subsequent ops must reference the layer by its new id.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| map_id | string | yes | – |
| newLayerId | string | yes | New id. Must be unique within the workspace. |
| oldLayerId | string | yes | – |

No examples provided.
report_blocker Report a blocker (agent feedback) ~319
Tell the ShowMeOnMap team your agent hit something it could not accomplish — an unsupported intent, a missing tool, an unclear schema, an op that failed in a confusing way. Use this when build_map / mutate_map / a direct-op tool returns something you cannot recover from, OR when you would have wanted a different tool to exist. Records the report to a server-side log; does not unblock the current session, but feeds future capability work. No map_id required — file the report even if no map was built.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| map_id | string | – | Optional. The map_id you were working on, if any. |
| rationale | string | yes | Short audit-log label (≤300 chars) stating the user-facing goal this call serves, e.g. "add wildfire layer for the user's California query". Required on every call. Stored in the operations log so ma… |
| suggested_capability | string | – | Optional. A new tool, op, or schema field that would have unblocked you. |
| what_i_tried | string | yes | Which tools / inputs you attempted, in order. Be specific — tool name + key arg shape is ideal. |
| what_i_was_trying | string | yes | High-level intent in one or two sentences. e.g. "merge two filtered choropleths into a fused bivariate map". |
| where_i_got_stuck | string | yes | The specific failure: what came back, what was missing, why you could not proceed. |

restyle_layer Restyle a layer (direct) ~172
Adjust a layer's color and/or opacity. Within-palette changes only — the renderer silently ignores fields the current viz variant doesn't support. Pass at least one of color / opacity; passing neither is an accepted no-op.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| color | string | – | CSS color string: hex (#RRGGBB), rgb/rgba, or named color. |
| layerId | string | yes | – |
| map_id | string | yes | – |
| opacity | number | – | 0 (transparent) to 1 (opaque). |
| rationale | string | yes | Short audit-log label (≤300 chars) stating the user-facing goal this call serves, e.g. "add wildfire layer for the user's California query". Required on every call. Stored in the operations log so ma… |

run_analysis Run a spatial analysis on a layer ~1,320
Compute a spatial analysis server-side and append the finished, honestly-legended result as a new layer + camera; the result REPLACES its input layer(s) (undoable). hotspot = Getis-Ord Gi*: hot/cold significance classes (99/95/90%, Benjamini-Hochberg FDR-corrected) on a numeric field, or on hex-binned point density when valueField is omitted. zonal = aggregate points into polygon zones (an existing zone layer OR a generated h3 fishnet): count/sum/mean/min/max per zone as a quantile choropleth where zero and no-data are distinct classes. enrich = join a US Census ACS indicator (median income, home value, rent, …) onto each feature by tract/county/state containment — unmatched features stay null, never zero-filled. join = spatial join (attribute transfer): each point in layerId takes properties from the joinLayerId polygon containing it (collisions prefixed, unmatched points carry NO joined fields, zero overlap is a typed rejection). merge = append two same-geometry-class layers into one dataset with a per-row source column (schemas never null-filled; class mismatch is a typed failure). near = nearest-neighbor distance columns (great-circle meters, stated — never presented as road distance). dissolve = true polygon union per attribute group (missing values form their own group; partial sums reported). Returns a grounded memo + stats payload — every number is computed, never generated; findings keep the map. Costs 1 credit when the result lands; typed failures (unknown layer, too few features, >10,000-feature cap) are refunded.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| analysis | string | yes | Which analysis to run. 'hotspot' = Getis-Ord Gi* with FDR-corrected significance classes. 'zonal' = aggregate a point layer into polygon zones (count/sum/mean/min/max choropleth). 'enrich' = join a U… |
| annotate | boolean | – | Opt-in: place ONE callout annotation at the headline feature (hottest cluster / top zone / highest value). Label text comes only from computed values. |
| dissolveField | string | – | dissolve only: group-by property (omit = dissolve ALL into one footprint); missing values form their own "(no value)" group. |
| fields | array | – | join only: which join-layer properties to transfer (default: auto-select up to 12 non-internal properties, overflow reported). |
| geoLevel | string | – | enrich only: containment geography (default tract). Tract/county fetch only the states the data touches, capped at 3 — filter first or use state for wider layers. |
| hexMeters | number | – | hotspot density mode only: hex cell spacing in meters (default auto from the data extent). |
| indicator | string | – | enrich only (required there): a US Census ACS preset id (e.g. 'median_household_income', 'median_home_value', 'median_rent') or a raw ACS variable code (e.g. 'B19013_001E'). |
| joinLayerId | string | – | join only (required there): the POLYGON layer providing the attributes. |
| k | integer | – | hotspot only: nearest neighbors per feature (default 8). |
| layerId | string | yes | The workspace layer to analyze (geojson-backed; the point source for zonal; the point TARGET for join; the styling donor for merge). |
| map_id | string | yes | – |
| maxDistanceM | number | – | near only: search radius in meters — a point whose nearest neighbor is farther carries NO near fields (reported). |
| mergeLayerId | string | – | merge only (required there): the second layer — same geometry class (point/line/polygon) as layerId. |
| nearField | string | – | near only: property of the nearest feature to copy as its identity (default: first name-like property). |
| nearLayerId | string | – | near only (required there): the POINT layer to search for each target point's nearest neighbor. |
| prefix | string | – | join only: prefix for a joined field whose name collides with an existing target property (default "join_"). |
| rationale | string | yes | Short audit-log label (≤300 chars) stating the user-facing goal this call serves, e.g. "add wildfire layer for the user's California query". Required on every call. Stored in the operations log so ma… |
| sourceField | string | – | merge only: name of the per-row provenance column naming each row's source layer (default "merge_source"; renamed on collision, reported). |
| stats | array | – | zonal only: which statistics to attach per zone (default: count, plus sum/mean/min/max when valueField is set). |
| story | boolean | – | Opt-in: persist the shared map with a 2-step story rail (grounded overview + analysis memo isolating the result layer) — the /m/ link opens with it. |
| sumFields | array | – | dissolve only: numeric properties to SUM per group — skipped values reported, a group with none present carries NO sum. |
| valueField | string | – | Numeric property to analyze. hotspot: omit on point layers for incident-DENSITY mode (hex-binned counts). zonal: omit for count-only aggregation. |
| zoneLayerId | string | – | zonal only: an existing polygon layer to aggregate into. Provide EXACTLY ONE of zoneLayerId or zones. |
| zones | object | – | zonal only: generate an h3 hex fishnet over the source extent instead of using a zone layer (resolution 3-10, default auto). Provide EXACTLY ONE of zoneLayerId or zones. |

run_workflow Run a saved workflow ~246
Execute a saved workflow with parameter values. PAID: bills ~1 credit per step through the normal build/mutate paths (the estimate is in list_workflows). Optional batch mode sweeps ONE param across 2–20 values — each value is a full independent run (steps × values credits); failed/paused values are reported per value and the batch continues. A clarification pauses a single run (status "paused" + the question); failures stop at the failing step. On success the result is a live map with a shareable URL (batch: the last successful value's map).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| batch | object | – | Batch mode: run the workflow once per value ("each of the 12 districts"). Bills steps × values. |
| params | object | – | Values for the workflow's declared parameters. |
| rationale | string | yes | Short audit-log label (≤300 chars) stating the user-facing goal this call serves, e.g. "add wildfire layer for the user's California query". Required on every call. Stored in the operations log so ma… |

save_workflow Save a workflow ~194
Save a re-runnable, parameterized workflow: an ordered list of natural-language instructions (step 1 builds, later steps mutate). Wrap values in {braces} and declare them in params. Running it later re-executes the instructions on FRESH data and bills per step like typing.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | string | yes | Workflow name. |
| params | array | – | Declared parameters — every {slot} used in steps must be declared here. |
| rationale | string | yes | Short audit-log label (≤300 chars) stating the user-facing goal this call serves, e.g. "add wildfire layer for the user's California query". Required on every call. Stored in the operations log so ma… |
| steps | array | yes | Ordered NL instructions. Step 1 builds the map; later steps mutate it. Wrap values in {braces} to declare parameters. |

select_within Subset a layer to a polygon selection ~194
Create a new layer containing the source layer's features that lie within the supplied polygon. The source layer is untouched. Useful for "show me only the X inside this country/bbox/hand-drawn shape."
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| inheritStyle | boolean | – | Default true. false emits a new layer with minimal default styling. |
| map_id | string | yes | – |
| newLayerId | string | yes | Id for the new layer. Must not already be in use in this workspace. |

set_camera Set the map camera (direct) ~185
Override the workspace camera. Latest set_camera op wins during replay. Two modes: `fitBounds` with a [w,s,e,n] bbox (plus optional padding/animateMs), or `flyTo` with [lng,lat] center + zoom (plus optional pitch/bearing/animateMs). Use for "zoom to Japan", "center on Paris at z=10", or finishing a drill-down after filter_layer. Equivalent to the camera move mutate_map would emit, but skips the NL roundtrip.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| camera | – | yes | – |
| map_id | string | yes | – |

set_time Set the time window (direct) ~224
Override the current time-range filter. Latest set_time op wins during replay. Use for "filter to 2020-2024" or "show only the last 7 days" intents. Not yet consumed by the renderer — the UI drives the slider directly — but the value is captured in the ops log and queryable via get_state.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| field | string | yes | Feature property carrying the time value (e.g. "date", "year", "timestamp"). |
| format | string | – | How rangeStart/rangeEnd encode time. Default: unix_ms at render time. |
| map_id | string | yes | – |
| rangeEnd | number | yes | Inclusive upper bound of the visible window. |
| rangeStart | number | yes | Inclusive lower bound of the visible window. |

tag Save a named checkpoint (direct) ~152
Label the current workspace state with a user-supplied name. The label is mirrored into workspace.meta.tags so UIs can render a named-revision history. Tagging the same label twice is idempotent — no error, no duplicate entry.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| map_id | string | yes | – |
| name | string | yes | Checkpoint label, e.g. "before EV layer added" or "v1.0". |

undo Undo the most recent op (gated) ~212
Rewind the workspace cursor by one, re-materializing the state as it was before the last mutation. Does NOT delete any ops — redo will fast-forward. Calling undo at the workspace genesis (cursor === 0, only the CreateWorkspace op is in scope) is a no-op that surfaces an error rather than silently doing nothing. GATED: pass confirmed:true to proceed; otherwise a needs_confirmation envelope is returned.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| confirmed | boolean | – | Set to true to confirm this sensitive action. If omitted or false, the call returns a needs_confirmation envelope. Autonomous undo without user intent is a footgun — an agent that decides to "fix" so… |

What is the ShowMeOnMap MCP server?
ShowMeOnMap is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.showmeonmap/maps. Ask in plain English, get a rendered, shareable map from live public data. 24 geospatial tools. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://showmeonmap.com/api/mcp).
Is the ShowMeOnMap MCP server safe to use?
ShowMeOnMap scores 91 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the ShowMeOnMap MCP server expose?
ShowMeOnMap exposes 29 tools: build_map, mutate_map, get_state, add_layer, add_fusion_layer, and 24 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 6,809 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the ShowMeOnMap MCP server require authentication?
Yes. ShowMeOnMap asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.
Is the ShowMeOnMap MCP server still maintained?
ShowMeOnMap is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
