Migrating from Mapbox GL JS to MapLibre GL JS — package and import changes, removing the access token, choosing tile sources, plugin equivalents, and what you gain or give up. Use when moving an existing Mapbox map to MapLibre.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Mapbox to MapLibre Migration

This skill guides you through migrating an application from **Mapbox GL JS** to **MapLibre GL JS**. The two libraries share a common ancestry (MapLibre forked from Mapbox GL JS v1.13 in December 2020), so the API is largely the same. The main changes are: swap the package, replace the namespace, remove the Mapbox access token, and **choose a new tile source** (MapLibre does not use `mapbox://` styles).

**Primary reference:** [MapLibre official Mapbox migration guide](https://maplibre.org/maplibre-gl-js/docs/guides/mapbox-migration-guide/).

## When to Use This Skill

- Migrating an existing Mapbox GL JS app to MapLibre
- Evaluating MapLibre as an open-source alternative to Mapbox
- Understanding API compatibility and what breaks
- Choosing tile sources and services after moving off Mapbox

## Why Migrate to MapLibre?

Common reasons teams switch from Mapbox to MapLibre:

- **Open-source license** — MapLibre is BSD-3-Clause; no vendor lock-in or proprietary terms
- **No access token** — The library does not require a Mapbox token; tile sources may have their own keys or none (e.g. OpenFreeMap)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add maplibre/maplibre-agent-skills/maplibre-mapbox-migration@sha256:7985378d96af3144

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.bac4ee9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
