Mapbox Location Grounding Skill

Teaches AI assistants how to ground location-aware responses in live Mapbox data by composing MCP tools into a structured, cited answer. Use this instead of relying on training data for place names, POIs, ratings, or travel times — which are stale and prone to hallucination.

When to Use Grounding

Ground responses when the user asks about:

• "What's near [location]?" or "What's around [coordinate]?"
• "Describe this neighborhood / area"
• "Find [category] within walking/driving distance"
• "What can I do near [address]?"
• "How long does it take to get from A to B?"
• "What's within a 10-minute walk of here?"
• "How far is it between these locations?"
• Real estate, travel, mobility, or local discovery use cases
• Any question where place accuracy, recency, or travel time matters

Never answer location questions from training data alone. Always retrieve live data.
