Grok MapIron Maps map_setup

How to: Grok MapIron Maps map_setup

client:Grok transport:streamable-http tool:map_setup

Add MapIron Maps to Grok

  1. 01

    Open .mcp.json (in your project root) and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "maps": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.mapiron.com/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Grok.

  2. 03

    Ask for something map_setup does. Grok lists the server's tools on connect and calls map_setup itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that MapIron Maps's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Grok Build reads Claude Code's .mcp.json and Claude Desktop's config unchanged, so a server you have already set up there needs nothing new. The Grok web app and X integration do not take custom servers. Grok docs

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 9 November 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
