Integrations

  • Planned integration with GDAL/OGR for expanded GIS capabilities including raster operations and advanced spatial analysis.

  • Leverages Python GIS libraries (Shapely and PyProj) to provide geometric operations, coordinate transformations, and geodetic calculations for AI assistants.

GIS MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that connects Large Language Models (LLMs) to GIS operations using GIS libraries (Currently Shapely and PyProj supported), enabling AI assistants to perform geospatial operations and transformations.

Alpha

Version 0.2.0 (Alpha) is under active development. We welcome contributions and developers to join us in building this project.

📋 Table of Contents

🚀 Features

  • 🔍 Comprehensive geometric operations (intersection, union, buffer, etc.)
  • 🌐 Advanced coordinate transformations and projections
  • 📏 Precise distance and area calculations
  • 🗺️ Spatial analysis and validation
  • 🛠️ Easy integration with MCP-compatible clients

📋 Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10 or higher
  • MCP-compatible client (like Claude Desktop or Cursor)
  • Internet connection for package installation

🛠️ Installation

Choose the installation method that best suits your needs:

📦 pip Installation

The pip installation is recommended for most users:

  1. Install uv package manager:
pip install uv
  1. Create the Virtual Environment (Python 3.10+):
uv venv --python=3.10
  1. Install the package:
uv pip install gis-mcp
  1. Start the server:
gis-mcp
pip Configuration

To use the pip installation with Claude or Cursor, add the following configuration:

Claude Desktop:

Windows:

{ "mcpServers": { "gis-mcp": { "command": "C:\\Users\\YourUsername\\.venv\\Scripts\\gis-mcp", "args": [] } } }

Linux/Mac:

{ "mcpServers": { "gis-mcp": { "command": "/home/YourUsername/.venv/bin/gis-mcp", "args": [] } } }

Cursor IDE (create .cursor/mcp.json):

Windows:

{ "mcpServers": { "gis-mcp": { "command": "C:\\Users\\YourUsername\\.venv\\Scripts\\gis-mcp", "args": [] } } }

Linux/Mac:

{ "mcpServers": { "gis-mcp": { "command": "/home/YourUsername/.venv/bin/gis-mcp", "args": [] } } }

After configuration:

  1. Make sure to replace YourUsername with your actual username
  2. For development installation, replace /path/to/gis-mcp with the actual path to your project
  3. Restart your IDE to apply the changes
  4. You can now use all GIS operations through Claude or Cursor!

🛠️ Development Installation

For contributors and developers:

  1. Install uv package manager:
pip install uv
  1. Create the Virtual Environment:
uv venv --python=3.10
  1. Install the package in development mode:
uv pip install -e .
  1. Start the server:
python -m gis_mcp
Development Configuration

To use the development installation with Claude or Cursor, add the following configuration:

Claude Desktop:

Windows:

{ "mcpServers": { "gis-mcp": { "command": "C:\\path\\to\\gis-mcp\\.venv\\Scripts\\python", "args": ["-m", "gis_mcp"] } } }

Linux/Mac:

{ "mcpServers": { "gis-mcp": { "command": "/path/to/gis-mcp/.venv/bin/python", "args": ["-m", "gis_mcp"] } } }

Cursor IDE (create .cursor/mcp.json):

Windows:

{ "mcpServers": { "gis-mcp": { "command": "C:\\path\\to\\gis-mcp\\.venv\\Scripts\\python", "args": ["-m", "gis_mcp"] } } }

Linux/Mac:

{ "mcpServers": { "gis-mcp": { "command": "/path/to/gis-mcp/.venv/bin/python", "args": ["-m", "gis_mcp"] } } }

After configuration:

  1. Make sure to replace YourUsername with your actual username
  2. For development installation, replace /path/to/gis-mcp with the actual path to your project
  3. Restart your IDE to apply the changes
  4. You can now use all GIS operations through Claude or Cursor!
