Overview

qgis_mcp is a plugin that integrates QGIS with Claude AI through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling users to control QGIS using plain text prompts. It allows for two-way communication between Claude AI and QGIS, facilitating tasks such as project creation, layer loading, and code execution. The plugin consists of a QGIS plugin and an MCP server, which communicate through a socket-based server. This tool is powerful but requires caution when used. It's primarily designed for users who want to leverage AI-assisted mapping and automation in QGIS.
