Virtual Traveling bot environment for MCP

English / Japanese

This is an MCP server that creates an environment for an avatar to virtually travel on Google Maps.

From an MCP client such as Claude Desktop, you can give instructions to the avatar and report on the progress of its journey with photos.

Preparing for MCP Registry Support https://blog.modelcontextprotocol.io/posts/2025-09-08-mcp-registry-preview/

Added gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview (nano-banana) to travel image generation

Support for nano-banana has been added. Nano-banana's semantic mask allows you to generate composite travel images in a short time without setting remBg.
Although conventional image synthesis is still possible, we recommend using Gemini nano-banana.

Supports both Streamable-HTTP and stdio (compliant with Smithery.ai's config interface)

It can be used as a stdio-type MCP as before, or as Streamable-HTTP.
Although it supports multiple users, the database API must be specified per session using the Smithery.ai config interface.
Since it supports both Streamable-HTTP and stdio, it is expected to work as is with the previous MCP client, but if you use the previous stdio version, please use v0.0.x (v0.0.81).
npx -y @mfukushim/map-traveler-mcp@0.0.81

Now supports librechat https://www.librechat.ai/.

Now supports Smithery https://smithery.ai/server/@mfukushim/map-traveler-mcp (images are excluded because they are heavy to run).

Now verified MseeP https://mseep.ai/app/mfukushim-map-traveler-mcp

Functions

MCP server tools function

The following functions can be used as an MCP server. The available functions vary depending on the settings and execution state.

You can specify the function name directly, but Claude LLM will automatically recognize it, so you can specify the operation in general terms.

Example: "Where are you now?" "Let's leave for Tokyo Station."

• get_traveler_view_info(includePhoto:boolean,includeNearbyFacilities:boolean)
  Gets information about the current travel avatar's location.

  Get the destination of the travel avatar you set
• set_traveler_destination_address(address: string)

  • message: article
• reply_sns_writer(message:string,id:string)
  Reply to the article with the specified id. Set a specific tag so that it can be determined that the post was generated by the travel bot.
  • message: reply
  • id: The ID of the post to reply to
• add_like(id:string)
  Add a like to the specified post.
  • id: The ID of the post to like
• tips
  Guides you on how to set up features that have not yet been set.

MCP resources

Has five custom prompt samples. When you import a prompt with Claude Desktop, Claude will act as a traveler. The SNS-compatible version controls SNS input and output while having a travel conversation.

• role.txt
  Claude will act as a traveler.

• roleWithSns.txt
  Claude will act as a traveler. It also controls reading and posting to SNS.

• carBattle.txt
  This is a small novel game about a story of transporting secret documents from Yokohama to Tokyo. Scenes are automatically generated. Set moveMode=skip to play.

• japanMapChallenge.txt,japanMapChallenge2.txt
  Two AIs communicate with each other via SNS and play a challenge game using landscape images.
  To play, you need two Bluesky accounts and two Claude Desktops. Also set moveMode=skip. (However, the operation is somewhat unstable.)
  japanMapChallenge2 has a challenge reflection rule.

Setting

You will need to obtain and set access keys for multiple APIs, such as for accessing multiple Google maps and generating images. Use of the API may incur charges.

Settings for using with Claude Desktop

• claude_desktop_config.json (stdio type)
