MCP.Pizza Chef: baidu-maps

Baidu Maps is one of the main mapping services in mainland China, and this is its official connector: search for a business or landmark, turn a written address into coordinates and back again, plan a drive, walk, cycle or transit route, check live road conditions, and pull the forecast for a region. You register for a free key from Baidu's developer console first. Worth knowing that the code here has not changed since August 2025, so fixes arrive slowly.

🚀 Introduction

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:

  • Full MCP Protocol Support: Seamless integration with any MCP-compliant agent, LLM, or platform.
  • Rich LBS Capabilities: Geocoding, reverse geocoding, POI search, route planning (driving, walking, cycling, transit), weather, IP location, real-time traffic, and more.
  • Cross-Platform SDKs: Official Python and TypeScript SDKs, easy CLI and cloud deployment.
  • Enterprise-Grade Data: Powered by Baidu Maps' authoritative, up-to-date geospatial data.
  • High Performance & Stability: Recommended SSE (Server-Sent Events) access for low latency and high reliability.
  • Open Source & Extensible: MIT licensed, easy to customize and extend.

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:

  • Seamless AI Integration: Allows LLMs and agents to understand and process location data naturally
  • Contextual Understanding: Provides rich geospatial context for more intelligent decision-making
  • Standardized Interfaces: Consistent API design following MCP principles for easy integration
  • Scalable Implementation: Suitable for projects of any size, from small applications to enterprise solutions

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.

mcp FAQ

Is this project still maintained?
Slowly at best. The code has not changed since August 2025, roughly a year ago. It is published by Baidu themselves and has not been archived, but do not expect quick fixes.
Do I need a key?
Yes. Register for a free developer key on Baidu's open platform and switch on the map service for it before connecting.
Does it cover places outside China?
Place search is advertised as worldwide, but Baidu's mapping data is centred on mainland China, so that is where results are strongest.
Which apps does it work in?
Any assistant that supports MCP. The documentation shows Cursor and Claude, along with Baidu's own agent platforms.
Can I use this to plan a day of sightseeing?
Yes. Search for places worth visiting, chain them into a route, then check the weather and traffic for the day you are going.
How hard is setup?
You register for a key, then paste a short snippet with that key into your assistant's settings. A hosted connection is offered too and is the faster option.
Is the documentation in English?
The main guide is, but the fuller instructions and platform-specific guides are in Chinese.
