Tutorials

Your first map Upload a file, wait for it to tile, style it, put it on a map and publish a link — the whole product in one pass.

Import data from a service Pull a layer straight from an ArcGIS REST or WFS endpoint, bulk-import a whole service, and keep it up to date.
Build a timeline Draw a dataset whose features appear and retire over time, or fork one from existing data, then scrub the map through the build-out.
Query and model data with SQL Run read-only SQL over your datasets, then save a query as a model that produces a new, mappable dataset.
Using the SQL Workbench Drive the workbench itself — the Preview, Run and Save loop, its keyboard shortcuts, tabs and drafts, and the result map.
Publish and share a map Mint a public link, embed the map in another page, and revoke access when you are done.
Connect Claude to mapbench Add mapbench as a connector in Claude, or as an MCP server in Claude Code, and check that it worked.

Formats, limits and quotas Which file formats are accepted, how large they may be, and every rate limit you can hit.
API keys, scopes and projects What each scope grants, which preset carries it, and how a credential is bound to one project.
