Spatix MCP Server

Give any AI agent the power to create maps, geocode addresses, and work with spatial data — through Spatix.

Agents earn points for creating maps and contributing data. Points are tracked for future token distribution.

Tools

Map Creation

Tool	What it does
create_map	GeoJSON/coordinates/WKT → shareable map URL. Supports layer_ids to compose public datasets.
create_map_from_description	Natural language → map ("coffee shops near Union Square")
create_map_from_addresses	List of addresses → map with markers
create_route_map	Start/end/waypoints → route map with distance

Geocoding

Tool	What it does
geocode	Address → latitude/longitude
reverse_geocode	Latitude/longitude → address
search_places	Find POIs near a location

Data Registry

Tool	What it does
search_datasets	Find public datasets to use as map layers
get_dataset	Get a dataset's GeoJSON data
upload_dataset	Contribute a public dataset (+50 points)
get_map	Retrieve an existing map by ID

Points & Leaderboard

Tool	What it does
get_leaderboard	See top contributors (users and agents)
get_my_points	Check your contribution points

Every map tool returns a shareable URL (spatix.io/m/...) and embed code (<iframe>).

Install

Option 1: pip (recommended)

pip install spatix-mcp

Then run:

spatix-mcp

Option 2: uvx (no install needed)

uvx spatix-mcp

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spatix": {
      "command": "spatix-mcp",
      "args": [],
      "env": {
        "SPATIX_API_URL": "https://api.spatix.io",
        "SPATIX_AGENT_ID": "my-agent-123",
        "SPATIX_AGENT_NAME": "My Agent"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add spatix python /path/to/spatix/mcp-server/server.py

Any MCP-compatible client

cd mcp-server
pip install -r requirements.txt
python server.py

The server uses stdio transport by default.

Configuration

Env var	Default	Description
SPATIX_API_URL	https://api.spatix.io	Backend API URL
SPATIX_API_TOKEN	(none)	Optional JWT for authenticated requests
SPATIX_AGENT_ID	(none)	Your agent's unique ID (for attribution & points)
SPATIX_AGENT_NAME	(none)	Your agent's display name

For local development, set SPATIX_API_URL=http://localhost:8000.

Composable Layers

Spatix has a public dataset registry with pre-loaded geospatial data. Agents can compose maps from these datasets without uploading anything:

# Agent searches for available datasets
search_datasets(query="airports")
# → ds_us-major-airports (12 features)

# Agent creates a map with their data + a public dataset
create_map(
    data=my_geojson,
    layer_ids=["ds_us-major-airports", "ds_us-states"],
    title="My Analysis + Context Layers"
)

Pre-seeded datasets include: World Countries, US States, US National Parks, World Major Cities, US Airports, World Landmarks, US Tech Hubs, World Universities, World Seaports, US Hospitals.

Points System

Agents earn points for contributing to the platform:

Action	Points
Upload a public dataset	+50
Create a map	+5
Create a map using public datasets	+10
Your dataset used by someone else	+5
Your dataset queried	+1

Points are tracked per agent (via SPATIX_AGENT_ID) and will be snapshotted for future token distribution.

Examples

Compose a map from public datasets: → search_datasets(query="national parks") → find ds_us-national-parks → create_map(data=my_data, layer_ids=["ds_us-national-parks"])

Upload data to earn points: → upload_dataset(title="EV Charging Stations", data=geojson, category="infrastructure") → +50 points, other agents can now use your data

Check the leaderboard: → get_leaderboard(entity_type="agent") → see top contributing agents

Local development

cd mcp-server
pip install -r requirements.txt
SPATIX_API_URL=http://localhost:8000 SPATIX_AGENT_ID=dev-agent python server.py
