Mountaya developer platform

Outdoor routing, geospatial analysis, and interactive maps. Embed the studio, query the Data API, write itineraries over the Map Studio API, render the tiles.

Start building Get API keys

Mountaya is a platform for the outdoors: routing tuned to hiking, cycling, and skiing, geospatial analysis of real terrain, and map tiles for basemaps and weather overlays. Four products cover it, behind one authentication model, and you can mix and match: drop in the full map editor, call the geospatial API, create and publish itineraries over the Map Studio API, or render the tiles yourself. AI tooling brings the same Data API into assistants and agents over the Model Context Protocol.

Start in three steps

Get your keys

Create an organization in Map Studio, then tell the two key types apart. A publishable key is safe to ship in a browser or a mobile app and covers Map Embedding, the Tile API, and public reads. A secret key stays on your server and covers everything else, writes included.

Read the authentication model

Make your first call

Pick the product you are building with and get a response back in about five minutes: embed the studio in an iframe, query the Data API, create an itinerary over the Map Studio API, or fetch a tile specification.

Follow the quickstart

Learn the shared model

Coordinate order, activities, units, languages, and the hostname each product answers on. Every product shares these, so reading them once is what stops the second integration from being a second learning curve.

Products

Map Embedding

Drop the full Mountaya map editor into your product with a single iframe. Render itineraries, collections, and overlays, themed and configured to your needs.

Data API

A read-only GraphQL API for outdoor routing and geospatial analysis: directions, route suggestions, isochrones, matrices, geocoding, POIs, and geometry analysis.

Map Studio API

A JSON API over the resources behind the map: itineraries, segments, waypoints, segment groups, zones, collections, and sessions. The only surface that writes.

Tile API

Vector and raster tiles for basemaps and environmental overlays (hillshade, weather, slope steepness, snow), served on a standard {z}/{x}/{y} template.

AI tools

Bring Mountaya's routing into AI workflows with the MCP server and agent integrations, backed by the same Data API queries.

What you can build

Route planners: compute directions between waypoints, or generate loop and point-to-point suggestions that hit a target distance and ascent.
Trip dashboards: embed an interactive map showing a user's itineraries and saved collections with weather and snow overlays.
Terrain analysis: score the surface, way type, slope, and elevation of any geometry, or compute reachability isochrones and travel-time matrices.
Discovery features: geocode places, reverse-geocode coordinates, and search huts, peaks, trails, and points of interest.
