## 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 2026-10-08.

- **Endpoint Security**: 74/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - 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**: 72/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2311 tokens (~577/item across 4 items; 3 tools + 1 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 98/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 94% 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 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).
  - Supports UI / widget rendering.

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: authentication we do not have, an unreachable endpoint, or not enough scan history. We only credit what we can confirm.

### 2026-10-08 (score 70)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (3)

### `search_location` (~194 tokens)

Search location

Use this when a map poster needs a place's coordinates, such as the street or venue to mark (where a couple met, a new home), or when the place the user named is ambiguous (several towns share the name) and they should pick one. Finds a city, neighborhood, street address, venue, landmark or coordinates and gives its coordinates and a suggested zoom level; use the result with create_poster. Not for directions, travel times, general map questions or the user's current location.

Input parameters:

- `language` (string): Language for place names, e.g. "nl" or "de" (default "en"). Use the user's language.
- `limit` (integer): Maximum number of results.
- `query` (string, required): What to look for, e.g. "Utrecht", "Central Park, New York", "Eiffel Tower" or "52.0907, 5.1214".

### `list_themes` (~192 tokens)

List poster themes

Use this when the user wants to see or choose a map poster's style: its colors, a mood (minimalist, black and white, vintage, blueprint, dark, pastel, or pink for a wedding or anniversary) or a theme by name. Lists the MapPoster themes (color styles) with their key colors, whether the PNG download covers them, and which ones are for personal use only. Pass the theme key to create_poster.

Input parameters:

- `render_mode` (string): artistic = vector styles (all but two, including the classic city maps); tile = OpenStreetMap and satellite map tiles.
- `search` (string): One word matched literally against theme names and descriptions, e.g. "dark", "vintage", "pink", "neon" or "blueprint". For a mood such as black and white, minimalist or pastel, leave it out and choo…

### `create_poster` (~1339 tokens)

Create map poster

Designs a map poster and shows it in the chat. Use this when the user wants a map poster, map print, map wall art or map wallpaper of a real place, or a map poster as an anniversary, Valentine's, wedding, engagement or housewarming gift tied to a place: where a couple met or married, a first home, a hometown, a city someone is leaving, a trip, a marathon someone ran or a birthplace. Not for general gift advice, directions, travel plans, star or night-sky maps, photo posters, 3D, wooden, scratch-off or push-pin maps, or hiking trails and GPX tracks. Takes a city, neighborhood, address, landmark or coordinates (up to three places) and links to the MapPoster editor to fine-tune it or, in the drawn map styles, order it printed. Give a `place` or `lat`/`lon`; the rest is optional. Nothing is saved or bought: the design lives in the link.

Input parameters:

- `bearing` (number): Map rotation in degrees (default 0, north up).
- `coordinates` (string): Custom text for the coordinates line. Default: the map centre coordinates.
- `coordinates_font` (string): Default Outfit.
- `height` (integer): Custom canvas height in px (overrides size).
- `language` (string): Language for place names, e.g. "nl" or "de" (default "en"). Use the user's language.
- `lat` (number): Latitude of the map centre.
- `lon` (number): Longitude of the map centre.
- `marker_color` (string): Marker colour as #RRGGBB. Default: the theme accent.
- `marker_icon` (string): Default pin.
- `marker_size` (integer): Marker size in px (default 40).
- `markers` (array): Pins on the map, e.g. a home or the spot where a couple met.
- `mat` (boolean): Gallery-style mat (passe-partout) around the map.
- `mat_border` (boolean): Thin line around the map inside the mat (default on).
- `mat_width` (integer): Mat width in px (default 40).
- `more_places` (array): Up to two more places on the same poster, each with its own map and a label under it, e.g. where a couple met, got engaged and married. The first map is `place` (or lat/lon); markers and the route st…
- `place` (string): The place the user wants on the poster, e.g. "Utrecht" or "Brooklyn, New York". Used when lat/lon are not given (first search match).
- `place_label` (string): With more_places: the label under the first map, in the user's words or language. Default: its place name.
- `places_layout` (string): With more_places: the maps stacked or side by side. Default auto: side by side on a landscape or square poster, else stacked.
- `route` (object): A route along the roads (driving directions) from start to end, through up to 10 via points: a road trip, or a road race such as a marathon, traced through points along its course.
- `route_color` (string): Route colour as #RRGGBB. Default: the theme route colour.

- `subtitle_font` (string): Default Playfair Display.
- `text_background` (string): Shading behind the text for readability (default none). Not used with a shape: a heart, circle or hexagon keeps its own edge.

## Common questions

### What is the MapPoster MCP server?

MapPoster is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as xyz.mapposter/mapposter. Design map posters of any place in 50+ styles, with names, dates and markers, and order prints. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.mapposter.xyz/mcp).

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

MapPoster scores 70 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 MapPoster MCP server expose?

MapPoster exposes 3 tools: search_location, list_themes, create_poster. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,725 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the MapPoster MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to MapPoster without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the MapPoster MCP server still maintained?

MapPoster is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 8 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
