Overview

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.

Key features of QGISMCP - QGIS Model Context Protocol Integration

  • Two-way communication between Claude AI and QGIS via a socket-based server.
  • Create, load, and save QGIS projects programmatically.
  • Add and remove vector or raster layers from the project.
  • Execute processing algorithms from the Processing Toolbox.
  • Run arbitrary PyQGIS code from Claude (use with caution).
  • Render the current map view to an image file.

Use cases of QGISMCP - QGIS Model Context Protocol Integration

  • Create a new QGIS project and add multiple vector/raster layers using natural language.
  • Execute processing algorithms such as centroid calculation on vector layers.
  • Generate choropleth maps with custom classification and color ramps via PyQGIS.
  • Load an existing project, inspect layers, and retrieve feature data.
  • Automate map rendering and project saving through conversational commands.

Frequently asked questions

1

What are the prerequisites for using QGISMCP?

QGIS 3.x, Claude Desktop, Python 3.10 or newer, and the `uv` package manager are required.

2

How do I install the QGIS plugin?
