Tools (3)

🟢 Read-only🟡 Write🔴 Delete⚪ Unknown
🟢get_document_tool(url)

Fetch the full content of a specific Mapbox documentation page by URL. Use this after get_latest_mapbox_docs_tool to follow a link from the index and retrieve the complete page content. For fetching multiple pages at once, use batch_get_documents_tool instead.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "url": {
      "type": "string",
      "format": "uri",
      "description": "URL of a Mapbox documentation page to fetch. Must be a mapbox.com URL (e.g. https://docs.mapbox.com/api/search/geocoding/)."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "url"
  ],
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#"
}
🟢batch_get_documents_tool(urls)

Fetch the full content of multiple Mapbox documentation pages in a single call (max 20). More efficient than calling get_document_tool multiple times. Returns an array of results — failed pages include an error message rather than failing the whole batch.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "urls": {
      "minItems": 1,
      "maxItems": 20,
      "type": "array",
      "items": {
        "type": "string",
        "format": "uri"
      },
      "description": "Array of Mapbox documentation page URLs to fetch (max 20). All must be mapbox.com URLs."
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "urls"
  ],
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#"
}
🟢search_mapbox_docs_tool(query, limit)

Search Mapbox documentation by keyword or natural language query. Searches across API reference, GL JS, Help Center, Style Spec, Studio, Search JS, iOS/Android Maps and Navigation SDKs, and Tilesets. Returns ranked results with titles, URLs, and descriptions. Use get_document_tool to fetch the full content of a result page.

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "query": {
      "type": "string",
      "minLength": 1,
      "description": "Search query for Mapbox documentation (e.g. \"add a marker\", \"camera animation\", \"geocoding API\")."
    },
    "limit": {
      "default": 5,
      "description": "Maximum number of results to return (1–20, default 5).",
      "type": "integer",
      "minimum": 1,
      "maximum": 20
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "query"
  ],
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#"
}
