Installation

To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:

On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "amap-route-server": {
      "command": "/path/to/amap-route-server/build/index.js",
      "env": {
        "AMAP_API_KEY": "YOUR_AMAP_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: You need to obtain an AMap API key and set it as the AMAP_API_KEY environment variable.

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the [MCP Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector), which is available as a package script:

npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
