QGIS MCP Server
Allows interaction with QGIS (Quantum GIS) through the QGIS MCP Plugin, enabling AI agents to manage GIS projects, layers, and perform geospatial operations.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@QGIS MCP Serverload the OpenStreetMap basemap and zoom to Paris"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Quantum GIS (QGIS) MCP
This project explores ways to interact with QGIS using the QGIS MCP Plugin and an MCP Server.
QGIS MCP Setup
Install QGIS MCP Plugin.
Plugins > Manage and install plugins
Source code at github.com/nkarasiak/qgis-mcp
Set configuration to start MCP server on start-up.
Configure the LLM (e.g. Claude Code) as directed.
Ask the LLM to ping QGIS.
