    Server tool list (3)

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    get_document_toolFetch the full content of a specific Mapbox documentation page by URL. Use this after get_latest_mapbox_docs_tool to follow a link from the index and retrieve the complete page content. For fetching multiple pages at once, use batch_get_documents_tool instead.
    batch_get_documents_toolFetch the full content of multiple Mapbox documentation pages in a single call (max 20). More efficient than calling get_document_tool multiple times. Returns an array of results — failed pages include an error message rather than failing the whole batch.
    search_mapbox_docs_toolSearch Mapbox documentation by keyword or natural language query. Searches across API reference, GL JS, Help Center, Style Spec, Studio, Search JS, iOS/Android Maps and Navigation SDKs, and Tilesets. Returns ranked results with titles, URLs, and descriptions. Use get_document_tool to fetch the full content of a result page.
