An [MCP (Model Context Protocol)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that exposes [Mappls / MapMyIndia](https://mappls.com) APIs as tools for AI assistants like Claude. Enables geocoding, reverse geocoding, place search, nearby discovery, routing, and distance calculations — all focused on India's mapping data.

## Tools

| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| `geocode` | Convert an address or place name to coordinates |
| `reverse_geocode` | Convert coordinates (lat/lng) to a human-readable address |
| `places_search` | Autocomplete and search for places by query string |
| `nearby` | Discover nearby places by keyword around a reference location |
| `directions` | Get turn-by-turn directions between two points (supports waypoints) |
| `distance_matrix` | Compute travel distance and time between multiple origins and destinations |
| `place_detail` | Fetch detailed information for a place using its eLoc (Mappls place ID) |

## Setup

### Get API credentials

Register at [https://apis.mappls.com](https://apis.mappls.com) to get either:
- An **API key** (simpler, for personal/testing use)
- **OAuth client credentials** (recommended for production)

### Authentication

Set one of the following in your environment:

**Option A — OAuth (Client Credentials):**
RECOMMENDED
```bash
export MAPPLS_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
export MAPPLS_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
```

**Option B — API Key:**
```bash
export MAPPLS_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
```

```OAuth
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mapmyindia": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@bhuvsh/mcp-mapmyindia"],
      "env": {
        "MAPPLS_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id",
        "MAPPLS_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret"
      }
    }
