What it does

muend/arcgis-mcp-bridge is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that bridges ArcGIS Pro's powerful ArcPy engine to MCP-compatible applications. It exposes over 100 geoprocessing tools through a secure stdio JSONRPC interface, allowing developers to integrate advanced geospatial analysis and data processing directly into their AI workflows.

How to set up

1. Clone the repository from GitHub: muend/arcgismcpbridge
2. Ensure ArcGIS Pro is installed with ArcPy configured
3. Install Python dependencies as specified in the project
4. Configure the MCP server connection in your client application (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.)
5. Initialize the server with appropriate security settings and filesystem boundaries

Key features

• Secure, local-first MCP server architecture
• Worker process isolation for safe execution
• PathGuard filesystem boundaries for security
• Access to 100+ ArcGIS geoprocessing tools
• JSONRPC protocol over stdio for reliable communication
• Integration with major AI platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, AI Studio)
