How to Set Up and Use Amap
The Amap MCP Server connects AI assistants to Gaode (Amap), the leading mapping and location services platform in China operated by Alibaba. It exposes over 13 tools covering geocoding, reverse geocoding, IP geolocation, weather queries, multi-modal route planning (driving, walking, cycling, transit), distance calculation, and POI search. Developers building China-focused applications or needing accurate Chinese address data, navigation routes, and nearby place searches will find this server essential.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10 or later and uv package manager installed
- An Amap API key obtained from https://lbs.amap.com/ (Amap Open Platform)
- An MCP client such as Claude Desktop
- Internet access to reach Amap API endpoints
Obtain an Amap API key
Register at https://lbs.amap.com/, create an application, and copy your Web Service API key. This key is required for all tool calls.
Install uv if not already present
The server is distributed via PyPI and is best run with uvx, which is bundled with the uv package manager.
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | shVerify the package is available
Test that uvx can locate and run the amap-mcp-server package without errors.
uvx amap-mcp-server --helpConfigure your MCP client
Add the server to your Claude Desktop config, passing your Amap API key as an environment variable.
// claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"amap": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["amap-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"AMAP_MAPS_API_KEY": "your_amap_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}Restart Claude Desktop and test
Quit and reopen Claude Desktop, then ask a location-related question about China to verify the tools are working.

Example natural language prompts that exercise Amap MCP server tools
- "What is the address for coordinates 116.397428, 39.90923?"
- "Find the driving route from the Forbidden City to Shanghai Pudong Airport."
- "What is the current weather in Chengdu?"
- "Search for coffee shops near Zhongguancun, Beijing."
- "How far is it from Guangzhou to Shenzhen by road?"Troubleshooting Amap
API returns INVALID_USER_KEY error
Double-check that AMAP_MAPS_API_KEY is set to a valid Web Service API key (not a JavaScript or Android key). The key type must match the service type used.
Route planning returns no results for addresses outside China
Amap covers mainland China only. Use WGS-84 coordinates converted to GCJ-02 (China's coordinate system) for accurate results within China.
uvx command not found after installation
Run 'source ~/.bashrc' or open a new terminal to reload the PATH after installing uv. Verify with 'which uvx'.
