Claude Desktop Integration (AI-Powered)

PowerShell.Map integrates with Claude Desktop via PowerShell.MCP, enabling natural language map visualization.

Setup

1. Install PowerShell.MCP:

Install-Module PowerShell.MCP

2. Configure Claude Desktop to use PowerShell.MCP (see PowerShell.MCP documentation)

Usage

Once configured, simply tell Claude to set up the module:

"Show me some fun map demos using the PowerShell.Map module"

Then ask for what you want:

• "Show me a tour of famous temples in Kyoto"
• "Create a route from Tokyo Tower to Senso-ji Temple"
• "Show me a walking tour of cafes in Paris"
• "Plan a hot spring tour across Japan with routes between locations"

Claude will translate these requests into PowerShell.Map commands and display the interactive maps automatically.
