qgis_mcp
QGISMCP connects QGIS to Claude AI via MCP. qgis_mcp is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server maintained by jjsantos01. It connects to MCP-compatible clients such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, and other agents that speak the protocol. It exposes 15 tools, including ping, get_qgis_info, load_project, create_new_project, get_project_info, add_vector_layer, add_raster_layer and get_layers, that an agent can call directly. It is categorized under AI/Claude and Tool/QGIS.
What is this MCP
QGISMCP is a Model Context Protocol integration that enables two-way communication between QGIS and Claude AI, allowing the AI to control and interact with QGIS functionality.
How to use this MCP
Install the QGIS plugin, configure Claude's settings to point to the MCP server, then use Claude's interface to send commands like loading projects, manipulating layers, executing processing algorithms, or running custom PyQGIS code.
What this MCP can be used for
This integration enables AI-assisted GIS workflows including project creation, data visualization, spatial analysis automation, and custom map generation through natural language prompts to Claude.
