What it does
Moving Polygons is an MCP server, a connector that lets an AI assistant use it as a tool. It is hosted: an assistant connects to it over the internet, nothing to install.
No capability identified yet from its description.
Facts come from the Official MCP Registry, as declared by the publisher. Capabilities are matched automatically (low confidence) and are not a test of the tool.

11 tools offered to AI assistants
get_import_format· The JSON format for maps (layers with timed polygon keyframes, markers, style). Read it before building a map.get_account· The signed-in user's public handle, plan and how many maps they can still create.list_maps· The user's maps, most recently changed first, with their ids and links.get_map· A summary of one of the user's maps (layers, keyframe dates, markers) and a download link for its full import JSON (fetch it with curl; it can be several MB).create_map· Create a new private draft map from an import JSON (up to ~1 MB). For bigger maps or files on disk use create_upload_link instead.create_upload_link· A one-off link (valid 15 minutes) to upload a map JSON file with curl: creates a new draft map, or (mode replace) replaces an existing map's content. Use this for maps over ~1 MB or files on disk. The curl output reports the result.replace_map_content· Overwrite an existing map's layers, markers, name, description and casualty bar (and style, if given) with an import JSON (up to ~1 MB; else create_upload_link with mode replace). The link and publish state stay; the old content is backed upublish_map· Make one of the user's maps public at its /map/<handle>/<slug> link. Only call this when the user explicitly asked to publish.unpublish_map· Make one of the user's maps private again (its public link stops working).search_maps· Find published animated maps on Moving Polygons (history, wars, empires, borders, epidemics, sea ice…) by words in their title or description and/or a year they cover. Returns links to the interactive map, its text version and its article.get_public_map· One published map as Markdown: description and sources, the timeline of keyframes (date and caption), layers, events, and the iframe code to embed the interactive map. Pass its URL, or the handle and slug.
What "online" means: the server answered an MCP connection at the time of the check. It is not a guarantee of security, quality or continuous uptime. How we test: we open an MCP session and ask for the tool list, as an AI assistant would. We never run a tool and never send a key. Checked every few days. Method
Is this your server? Monitoring Pro: a check every 30 minutes and an email within the hour when it stops answering. $9.99/month.
