Baidu Map MCP Server is a fully MCP-compliant, open-source Location-Based Service (LBS) solution, providing a comprehensive suite of geospatial APIs and tools for developers and AI agents. As the first map service provider in China to support the Model Context Protocol (MCP), Baidu Map MCP Server bridges the gap between large language models (LLMs), AI agents, and real-world location data and services.
With Baidu Map MCP Server, you can easily empower your applications, LLMs, and agents with advanced mapping, geocoding, POI search, route planning, weather, traffic, and more — all via standardized, developer-friendly MCP interfaces.
Key Features:
Whether you are building a travel assistant, logistics platform, smart city solution, or an LLM-powered agent, Baidu Map MCP Server provides the essential geospatial intelligence and tools you need.
The MCP Server architecture enables:
Whether you're building a navigation app, delivery service, smart city solution, or enhancing an AI agent with location awareness, Baidu Map MCP Server provides the tools and infrastructure you need to succeed.
Baidu Map MCP Server provides the following MCP-compliant APIs (tools):
| Tool Name | Description |
|---|---|
map_geocode | Convert address to geographic coordinates. |
map_reverse_geocode | Get address, region, and POI info from coordinates. |
map_search_places | Search for global POIs by keyword, type, region, or within a radius. |
map_place_details | Get detailed info for a POI by its unique ID. |
map_directions_matrix | Batch route planning for multiple origins/destinations (driving, walking, cycling). |
map_directions | Plan routes between two points (driving, walking, cycling, transit). |
map_weather | Query real-time and forecast weather by region or coordinates. |
map_ip_location | Locate city and coordinates by IP address. |
map_road_traffic | Query real-time traffic conditions for roads or regions. |
map_poi_extract* | Extract POI info from free text (requires advanced permission). |
*Some advanced features require additional permissions. See Authorization for details.
All APIs follow the MCP protocol and can be called from any MCP-compliant client, LLM, or agent platform.
Register and create a server-side API Key (AK) at Baidu Maps Open Platform. Be sure to enable “MCP (SSE)” service for best performance.
Install the SDK:
pip install mcp-server-baidu-mapsRun as a script:
python -m mcp_server_baidu_mapsConfigure in your MCP client (e.g., Claude, Cursor):
{
"mcpServers": {
"baidu-maps": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "mcp_server_baidu_maps"],
"env": {
"BAIDU_MAPS_API_KEY": "<YOUR_API_KEY>"
}
}
}
}Install:
npm install @baidumap/mcp-server-baidu-mapConfigure in your MCP client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"baidu-map": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@baidumap/mcp-server-baidu-map"
],
"env": {
"BAIDU_MAP_API_KEY": "<YOUR_API_KEY>"
}
}
}
}See SSE Quickstart.
Use map_search_places, map_directions, and map_weather to build an agent that plans optimal sightseeing routes, checks weather, and recommends POIs.
Use map_directions_matrix to calculate multiple routes and durations for logistics or delivery optimization.
Use map_poi_extract to extract POIs from user input or travel notes (requires advanced permission).
Combine map_road_traffic and map_weather for dynamic, context-aware travel suggestions.
Seamlessly connect Baidu Map MCP Server to LLMs and agent frameworks for natural language geospatial reasoning.
See [README_zh.md](./README_zh.md) for more detailed Chinese documentation, configuration, and examples.
