If I am understanding correctly, MAPSCII pulls its map data from webAPIs and renders it. Is it possible to host your own mapAPI, update the markers on the map server and then just use MAPSCII as a viewer?

Moved to its own issue because it was off-topic. Should be part of a in-tree documentation or wiki.

Theoretically, it does support loading local mbtiles files.

npm install -g mapscii
npm install -g @mapbox/mbtiles
mapscii --source /home/rcmart3q/Documents/Vancouver.mbtiles

or another http(s) source (defaults to "http://mapscii.me/"):

npm install -g mapscii
mapscii --source http://localhost:8080/custom-map/

Correct, currently the vector tiles are served from https://mapscii.me/{z}/{x}/{y} - in case one uses a different source, the styles and to-be-rendered layers (and their order) might need to be adapted
