No rate limits or OpenAPI description were found, results may not be stored unless the dearer stored geocode is bought, and the agreement bars benchmarking without written permission.\n\n**Mapbox APIs + MCP.** Official MCP server, hosted at mcp.mapbox.com with OAuth or run locally, listed in the MCP registry. Storing geocodes needs the Permanent tier at $5 per 1,000, about 6.7 times the temporary rate.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### ArcGIS Location Platform\n\n1. Send the token in an `X-Esri-Authorization: Bearer` or `Authorization` header. The docs' examples put it in a `token` parameter, which Esri's own best-practice page calls less secure.\n2. Set `forStorage=true` on `findAddressCandidates` or `reverseGeocode` only when results will be kept. It needs pay-as-you-go and the Geocode (stored) privilege, and costs eight times the unstored rate.\n3. Cap geocoding output with `maxLocations` (default and maximum 50) and `outFields`, because billing counts results returned and the default returns every field.\n4. Page place searches with `pageSize` (maximum 20) and `offset`. A nearby or extent search costs $8 per 1,000 requests after 500 free a month.\n5. Check the JSON body for an `error` object with `code`, `message` and `details`. Code 499 means the token is missing and 403 means it lacks the privilege.\n\n### Mapbox APIs + MCP\n\n1. Set permanent=true only when the result goes into a database, since it moves the call to the $5 per 1,000 rate\n2. Keep search_and_geocode_tool queries under 200 characters, the live limit, not the 256 the API docs state\n3. On 429, wait until the X-Rate-Limit-Reset timestamp, since no Retry-After is sent\n4. Run the local server with --enable-tools to load only the tools the task needs\n5. Use category_search_tool for generic place types like coffee shops, not search_and_geocode_tool\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, ArcGIS Location Platform or Mapbox APIs + MCP?\n\nMapbox APIs + MCP scores 75 (BB) on agent readiness against ArcGIS Location Platform's 65.4 (B), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. ArcGIS Location Platform leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Which is cheaper for geo geocode, ArcGIS Location Platform or Mapbox APIs + MCP?\n\nArcGIS Location Platform, at $0.50 per 1,000 requests against $0.75 per 1,000 requests for Mapbox APIs + MCP. These are the vendors' published prices for the job.\n\n### Do ArcGIS Location Platform and Mapbox APIs + MCP need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call ArcGIS Location Platform and Mapbox APIs + MCP without installing anything?\n\nYes. ArcGIS Location Platform has a hosted endpoint at https://geocode-api.arcgis.com and Mapbox APIs + MCP at https://api.mapbox.com.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/arcgis-vs-mapbox.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/arcgis-vs-mapbox.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"arcgis\", \"b\": \"mapbox\"}`.
