- 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 Usability82
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 1516 tokens (~84/item across 18 items; 18 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management3
- Stability observed for 1 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- All 5 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 19 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
How do I install the ExplorersMap MCP server?
ExplorersMap is a hosted endpoint at https://explorersmap.net/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 →

| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| board | string | – | Which board. Default score. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_stats Get stats ~68
A summary of this account's map: how many countries, territories, regions and places are marked, the Explorer score, and the share of the world explored. Answers "how many countries have I been to", and is the quickest way to see where the user stands before suggesting what to add next.

Everything marked as visited, newest first. Paged: check `total` against `returned` and follow `nextOffset` to read the rest. Filter by type to keep the response small.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | number | – | Rows per page, default 100, max 500. |
| offset | number | – | Skip this many. Use nextOffset from the previous page. |
| type | string | yes | Which kind to list. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
remove_country Remove country ~72
Unmark a country, undoing add_country. Accepts an ISO-2 code or the country name. Unmarking something that was never marked is not an error. This lowers the user's score, so confirm before removing anything they did not name.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| country | string | yes | ISO-2 code or name. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
remove_place Remove place ~74
Unmark a specific place such as a monument, museum, airport or city, undoing add_place. Accepts a place id from search_places or the exact place name. This lowers the user's score, so confirm before removing anything they did not name.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| place | string | yes | A place id, or its exact name. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
remove_region Remove region ~115
Unmark a state, province or département, undoing add_region. Accepts a region id like "FR-95", or a region name plus its country. Unmarking something that was never marked is not an error. This lowers the user's score, so confirm before removing anything they did not name.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| country | string | – | Country of that region, to disambiguate a name used in several countries. |
| region | string | yes | Region id like "FR-95", or a region name like "Gironde". |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_places Search places ~189
Find places in the 90,000-entry database — cities, airports, monuments, museums, parks, heritage sites and more. Use this to get an id before add_place. Matching is on part of the name, so short beats formal: "Louvre" finds it, "Musee du Louvre" may not. Types overlap (the Louvre is filed under heritage, not museum), so a type filter narrows rather than decides — anything it excludes comes back under otherTypes.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| country | string | – | Narrow by country (ISO-2 or name). |
| limit | number | – | Max results, default 10. |
| query | string | yes | Part of the name. |
| type | string | – | Prefer a type, e.g. "monument", "museum", "airport", "city", "heritage", "park". Other-type matches still come back, under otherTypes. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
set_trip_visibility Set trip visibility ~89
Publish a trip on the user's public profile, or take it private again. Private trips are visible only to the account owner. Always ask before making a trip public, since it then shows the trip's title, dates and places to anyone.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| tripId | string | yes | From list_trips. |
| visibility | string | yes | public shows the trip on the user's profile; private hides it again. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
set_visit_dates Set visit dates ~66
Set the travel dates on something already marked as visited. Does not change score.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| dates | array | yes | ISO dates, YYYY-MM-DD. |
| visitId | string | yes | The id from list_visited, e.g. "PT" or "reg:FR-95". |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
whoami Whoami ~29
Who the connected ExplorersMap account belongs to, and how much of today's fair-use quota is left.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.

Is the ExplorersMap MCP server safe to use?
ExplorersMap scores 67 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 ExplorersMap MCP server expose?
ExplorersMap exposes 18 tools: whoami, get_stats, get_badges, list_visited, add_country, and 13 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,468 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the ExplorersMap MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to ExplorersMap without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the ExplorersMap MCP server still maintained?
ExplorersMap 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.
