## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, 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 2026-11-05.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 100/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess.

- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.

## 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.

### 2026-11-04 (score 83, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 17 to 20. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 5 days of observed history at the previous scan, 6 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

Input parameters:

- `_apiKey` (string, required): Mapillary access token (free — create an app token at mapillary.com/dashboard/developers). Looks like "MLY|...".
- `lat` (number, required): Latitude of the center point, in degrees (-90 to 90), e.g. 40.7580
- `limit` (number): Max number of images to return (default 10, max 25)
- `lon` (number, required): Longitude of the center point, in degrees (-180 to 180), e.g. -73.9855
- `radius` (number): Search radius in meters around the point (default 50, max 50)

### `mapillary_image` (~116 tokens)

Details for a Mapillary image. Given an image id, returns capture time, coordinates, compass heading, camera type, sequence id, and a 2048px thumbnail URL. Example: mapillary_image({ image_id: "498763468214164", _apiKey: "MLY|..." })

Input parameters:

- `_apiKey` (string, required): Mapillary access token (looks like "MLY|...")

### `mapillary_detections` (~130 tokens)

Detected objects/signs in an image. Returns Mapillary computer-vision detections (object/sign classes like "object--support--pole" or "regulatory--stop--g1") found inside a given image id. Example: mapillary_detections({ image_id: "498763468214164", _apiKey: "MLY|..." })

Input parameters:

- `_apiKey` (string, required): Mapillary access token (looks like "MLY|...")

## Common questions

### What is the Mapillary MCP server?

Mapillary is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.pipeworx-io/mapillary. Mapillary MCP, wraps the Mapillary Graph API (graph.mapillary.com). This page covers its npm package (@pipeworx/mcp-mapillary).

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

Mapillary scores 83 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. 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 Mapillary MCP server expose?

Mapillary exposes 3 tools: mapillary_images_near, mapillary_image, mapillary_detections. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 464 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Mapillary MCP server still maintained?

Mapillary 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 Mapillary MCP server under?

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

### What did VerifyMCP test on the Mapillary MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 16 checks on Mapillary, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 12 more. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an npm package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
