Implementation Reference

  • The handler function that implements the get_utm_zone tool logic using pyproj to query UTM CRS info and extract the zone number from coordinates.
    @gis_mcp.tool() def get_utm_zone(coordinates: List[float]) -> Dict[str, Any]: """Get UTM zone for given coordinates.""" try: import pyproj from pyproj.database import query_utm_crs_info lon, lat = coordinates crs_info_list = query_utm_crs_info( datum_name="WGS 84", # Use "WGS 84" with space as per standard area_of_interest=pyproj.aoi.AreaOfInterest( west_lon_degree=lon, south_lat_degree=lat, east_lon_degree=lon, north_lat_degree=lat ) ) if not crs_info_list: raise ValueError("No UTM CRS found for the given coordinates") # Create CRS from the first matching CRSInfo crs_obj = pyproj.CRS.from_authority(crs_info_list[0].auth_name, crs_info_list[0].code) # Extract zone number from CRS name (e.g., "WGS 84 / UTM zone 10N" -> 10) import re zone_match = re.search(r'zone\s+(\d+)', crs_info_list[0].name, re.IGNORECASE) if zone_match: zone = int(zone_match.group(1)) else: # Fallback: try to extract from authority code # EPSG codes for UTM: 32601-32660 (north), 32701-32760 (south) code = int(crs_info_list[0].code) if 32601 <= code <= 32660: # Northern hemisphere zone = code - 32600 elif 32701 <= code <= 32760: # Southern hemisphere zone = code - 32700 else: raise ValueError("Could not extract valid UTM zone number from CRS") if zone < 1 or zone > 60: raise ValueError(f"Invalid UTM zone number: {zone}") return { "status": "success", "zone": zone, "message": "UTM zone retrieved successfully" } except Exception as e: logger.error(f"Error getting UTM zone: {str(e)}") raise ValueError(f"Failed to get UTM zone: {str(e)}")
  • MCP resource that lists 'get_utm_zone' among available CRS information operations, aiding tool discovery.
    @gis_mcp.resource("gis://crs/info") def get_crs_info_operations() -> Dict[str, List[str]]: """List available CRS information operations.""" return { "operations": [ "get_crs_info", "get_available_crs", "get_utm_zone", "get_utm_crs", "get_geocentric_crs" ] }
  • Type hints and docstring define the input schema (coordinates: List[float]) and output schema (Dict[str, Any]).
