Oh, I just now realized that you are referring to a Vector Tile server, not a normal raster tile service.
Unfortunately, MapInfo Pro can't open a vector tile service.
We have an idea on this topic:
It would be good if you could give that a vote and potentially also share what service you are looking to use - if it's a publicly available service.
Thanks

Hi Nick
Yes, that should be possible.
You can create a tile server table using the Create Table statement:
Create Table OSM_TileServer File "C:\OSM_TileServer.tab" Type TILESERVER TileType "LevelRowColumn" URL "http://INSERT_OPEN_STREET_MAP_SERVER_NAME_HERE/{LEVEL}/{ROW}/{COL}.png" AttributionText "required attribution text" Font("Arial",255,16,0,255) MinLevel 0 MaxLevel 15 Height 256 CoordSys Earth Projection 10, 157, 7, 0 Bounds(-20037508.34,-20037508.34) (20037508.34,20037508.34)
I have a tool that can help create the tile server table by providing a dialog for entry. It's not that polished yet which is why it's not in the MapInfo Marketplace.
You can grab the tool here: CreateTileServerTable

Hello all,
Can MapInfo Pro open a MapBox vector tile service?
I know that MapInfo Pro can open a WMTS service, but this is different
Thanks,
