How to Set Up and Use ArcGIS Pro
ArcGIS Pro Bridge MCP Server is a Python-based MCP server that connects AI clients to a locally installed instance of ArcGIS Pro, exposing its geoprocessing capabilities through a set of MCP tools. It uses ArcPy — Esri's Python site package bundled with ArcGIS Pro — to run operations like buffer and clip, inspect geodatabase schemas, list map layers, and execute arbitrary ArcPy code, all from within an AI assistant conversation. This is useful for GIS professionals who want to automate spatial analysis workflows using natural language without manually scripting every geoprocessing task.
Prerequisites
- Windows operating system (ArcGIS Pro and ArcPy are Windows-only)
- ArcGIS Pro installed and licensed (ArcPy is sourced from ArcGIS Pro's built-in Python environment)
- Python 3.11 or higher and the uv package manager
- Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Trae as your MCP client
Clone the repository
Clone the ArcGIS Pro Bridge MCP Server repository to your local Windows machine.
git clone https://github.com/Sangwxx/ArcGIS-Pro-Bridge-MCP-Server.git
cd ArcGIS-Pro-Bridge-MCP-ServerInstall dependencies with uv
Use uv to install the project dependencies. Do not try to install ArcPy via uv — it is sourced automatically from ArcGIS Pro's environment at runtime.
uv syncRun a quick health check
Before connecting to your MCP client, start the server and verify it can locate your ArcGIS Pro installation. The server will wait for client connections — this is normal.
uv run arcgis_mcp_server.pyConfigure your MCP client
Add the server to your Claude Desktop (or Cursor/Trae) MCP config. Use the absolute path to your project directory.
{
"mcpServers": {
"arcgis-pro": {
"command": "uv",
"args": ["run", "arcgis_mcp_server.py"],
"cwd": "C:\\path\\to\\ArcGIS-Pro-Bridge-MCP-Server"
}
}
}Restart your MCP client
Restart Claude Desktop (or your chosen client) to load the new server. Start with the ping tool to verify connectivity before running geoprocessing tasks.
ArcGIS Pro Examples
Client configuration
Claude Desktop config using uv to run the ArcGIS Pro bridge server with the cwd set to the project directory.
{
"mcpServers": {
"arcgis-pro": {
"command": "uv",
"args": ["run", "arcgis_mcp_server.py"],
"cwd": "C:\\path\\to\\ArcGIS-Pro-Bridge-MCP-Server"
}
}
}Prompts to try
Example prompts that exercise the ArcGIS Pro bridge tools for GIS analysis and project inspection.
- "Run ping to verify the ArcGIS Pro MCP server is connected"
- "Check the health of the ArcGIS Pro connection with health_check"
- "List all layers in the current ArcGIS Pro project"
- "Buffer the 'Roads' feature class by 500 meters and save the output to my geodatabase"
- "Inspect the schema of my project geodatabase and summarize the feature classes"Troubleshooting ArcGIS Pro
ArcPy not found or import error on server start
ArcPy is not installable via pip or uv — it must come from ArcGIS Pro's bundled Python environment. The server detects it automatically via the ARCGIS_PRO_INSTALL_DIR environment variable or by scanning common install paths. Set ARCGIS_PRO_INSTALL_DIR manually if ArcGIS Pro is installed in a non-standard location.
Server starts but ping tool returns no response in the MCP client
This server is a stdio-based background service. The 'waiting' state after 'uv run arcgis_mcp_server.py' is normal — it means the server is ready. Ensure the cwd in your MCP config points to the correct project directory and restart your MCP client.
Geoprocessing tools fail with licensing errors
ArcGIS Pro must be licensed and signed in. Open ArcGIS Pro manually, verify it launches without license errors, then restart your MCP client. Some advanced tools require specific ArcGIS Pro extensions (Spatial Analyst, Network Analyst, etc.) to be licensed.
