Mapbox Cartography & GIS Developer Skill (`mapbox`)

This skill provides direct access to Mapbox Developer APIs, style building, GeoJSON validation/previews, token management, color contrast checking, and coordinate reference system conversion via https://mcp-devkit.mapbox.com/mcp.

Available Tools & Signatures

1. Style Management Tools

ListStylesTool: Lists all styles for a Mapbox account.
CreateStyleTool: Creates a new Mapbox style from specification JSON.
RetrieveStyleTool / UpdateStyleTool / DeleteStyleTool: Manages styles by ID.
PreviewStyleTool: Generates interactive browser preview URLs for Mapbox styles.
ValidateStyleTool: Performs offline validation of Mapbox style JSON against style specification.
compare_styles_tool: Deep diff comparison between two Mapbox styles.
Style Optimization tool: Removes unused sources, duplicate layers, and empty layers to optimize style payload size.

2. GeoJSON & Local Processing Tools

GeoJSON Preview tool: Generates a geojson.io URL for instant visualization.
Validate GeoJSON tool: Offline validation of GeoJSON structure, coordinate bounds, ring closure, and feature properties.
Validate Expression tool: Validates Mapbox GL JS expressions syntax, operators, and return types.
Coordinate Conversion tool: Converts coordinates between WGS84 (EPSG:4326) and Web Mercator (EPSG:3857).
Bounding Box tool: Calculates GeoJSON bounding box [minX, minY, maxX, maxY].
Color Contrast Checker tool: Checks WCAG 2.1 compliance (AA/AAA) for map text foreground and background colors.

3. Token Management Tools

create-token: Creates access tokens with granular scopes (styles:read, styles:write, fonts:read, etc.) and URL restrictions.
list-tokens: Lists access tokens with usage filtering.

Usage Guidelines & Best Practices

Token Security: Always specify allowedUrls when creating tokens for browser deployments.
WCAG Compliance: Run Color Contrast Checker tool on custom font/label paint properties to ensure map text meets WCAG AA standards.
Requires MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN with appropriate scopes (styles:read, styles:write, tokens:read).
