dissolve_gpd

Dissolve geospatial geometries by attribute to simplify vector data, reducing complexity by merging features with matching values in a specified column.

Instructions

Dissolve geometries by attribute using geopandas.dissolve. Args: gdf_path: Path to the geospatial file. by: Column to dissolve by (optional). output_path: Optional path to save the result. Returns: Dictionary with status, message, and output info.

Implementation Reference

  • The main handler function for the 'dissolve_gpd' MCP tool, decorated with @gis_mcp.tool(). It reads a GeoDataFrame, dissolves geometries by the specified attribute, optionally saves to output_path, and returns stats and preview.
