概要
What is QGISMCP - QGIS Model Context Protocol Integration?
QGISMCP connects QGIS to Claude AI through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling direct AI-driven project creation, layer management, processing algorithm execution, and custom Python code execution within QGIS.
How to use QGISMCP - QGIS Model Context Protocol Integration?
Install the QGIS plugin by copying the qgis_mcp_plugin folder into your QGIS profile plugins directory and enabling it via the Plugins manager. Configure Claude Desktop by adding the provided JSON block to claude_desktop_config.json, pointing to the qgis_mcp_server.py file. Start the server in QGIS from Plugins > QGIS MCP > QGIS MCP and click "Start Server". Claude will then have access to a set of tools to interact with QGIS.
