10 tools Official Updated Jun 28, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your geographic searches and location-based operations with Baidu Map, the premier mapping infrastructure in China. By connecting Baidu Map to your agent, you transform complex geocoding, route planning, and POI (Point of Interest) discovery into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly convert addresses to coordinates, calculate optimal driving or transit routes, locate users by IP address, and audit local business areas without you ever needing to navigate a technical portal. Whether you are optimizing logistics or conducting market research across Chinese cities, your agent acts as a real-time geographic intelligence assistant, providing accurate and reliable spatial data from a single, unified source.

What you can do

  • Geocoding Orchestration — Convert physical addresses into precise latitude and longitude coordinates and vice versa.
  • Route Planning — Retrieve detailed directions for driving, public transit, walking, and riding between any two points.
  • POI Discovery — Search for hotels, restaurants, and other points of interest within specific regions or around coordinates.
  • IP Localization — Monitor and audit user locations based on IP addresses to ensure regional compliance or targeting.
  • Business Area Insights — Access detailed information about local commercial zones and business surroundings.

How it works

  2. Enter your Baidu Map Access Key (AK) and optional Secret Key (SK)
  3. Start managing your spatial data through Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
