## MCP tools (3)

### `render_place` (~179 tokens)

Download the OpenStreetMap road network of a place and draw it as an interactive HTML map.

place: any name OpenStreetMap's geocoder knows, e.g. "Södermalm, Stockholm" or "Tartu, Estonia".
Keep it to a district or a city: a county takes minutes to download.
network_type: "drive", "walk", "bike", "all", "drive_service" or "all_public".
options: render_edges keywords, e.g. {"color_by": "maxspeed", "legend": true}.
output_path: where to save the .html (default ~/roadstyle-maps/<place>.html).
Returns the saved path, a summary and a PNG preview.

Input parameters:

- `network_type` (string)
- `options`
- `output_path`
- `place` (string, required)

### `render_file` (~149 tokens)

Draw the road edges in a file (GeoPackage, GeoJSON, Shapefile, ...) as an interactive HTML map.

The file needs line geometry (any CRS) and a road-class column, "highway" by default
(another name: options={"highway_col": "..."}).
options: render_edges keywords, e.g. {"color_by": "speed", "cmap": "viridis", "legend": true}.
output_path: where to save the .html (default ~/roadstyle-maps/<file name>.html).
Returns the saved path, a summary and a PNG preview.

Input parameters:

- `options`
- `output_path`
- `path` (string, required)

### `snapshot` (~110 tokens)

PNG of a saved roadstyle map, optionally with a camera (centre lon/lat, zoom 0-22).

Street names: main roads from zoom 15-16, side streets from 17; one-way arrows: main roads from 15, side streets from 17.
Without a camera the map's own opening view is captured.

Input parameters:

- `bearing`
- `html_path` (string, required)
- `lat`
- `lon`
- `pitch`
- `zoom`

## Common questions

### What is the roadstyle MCP server?

roadstyle is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.Khoshkhah/roadstyle. Styled, interactive road maps of any place (OpenStreetMap) or road file, with PNG previews. This page covers its PyPI package (roadstyle-mcp).

### Is the roadstyle MCP server safe to use?

roadstyle scores 88 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. Its build provenance is signed and verified. 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 roadstyle MCP server expose?

roadstyle exposes 3 tools: render_place, render_file, snapshot. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 438 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the roadstyle MCP server still maintained?

roadstyle is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the roadstyle MCP server under?

roadstyle declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
