Installation

Claude Desktop

Using the .mcpb extension file (recommended)

The easiest way to install is via the .mcpb extension file available on the Releases page.

1. Download the latest .mcpb file from the Releases page.
2. Open Claude Desktop and go to Settings → Extensions.
3. Drag the downloaded .mcpb file onto the Extensions panel to install.

Manual configuration

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mapnetwork": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mapnetwork-mcp"],
      "alwaysAllow": ["generate_map", "compute_route", "redownload_map"]
    }

    }
  }
}
