1. Install uv and create a virtual environment (Python 3.10+):
```bash
pip install uv
uv venv --python=3.10
```
2. Install the package:
```bash
uv pip install gis-mcp
```
### Install with visualization features
To install with visualization capabilities (Folium and PyDeck for interactive maps):
```bash
uv pip install gis-mcp[visualize]
```
This will install additional dependencies:
- `folium>=0.15.0` - For creating interactive web maps
- `pydeck>=0.9.0` - For advanced 3D visualizations
3. Run the server:
```bash
gis-mcp
```
