QGISMCP connects QGIS to Claude AI through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing Claude to directly interact with and control QGIS. It comprises two components: a QGIS plugin that runs a socket server inside QGIS to receive and execute commands, and a Python MCP server that implements the MCP and communicates with the plugin. This two-way channel enables Claude to create, load, and save projects; add or remove vector and raster layers; retrieve layer and project information; run Processing Toolbox algorithms; render the map to an image; and execute arbitrary Python (PyQGIS) code from Claude. The MCP commands described include ping, load_project, add_vector_layer, execute_processing, get_layers, and execute_code, with an example workflow showing project creation, layer loading, processing, and rendering. For desktop use, Claude's claude_desktop_config.json is configured to point to the MCP server; the configuration runs via uv as the socket server, enabling seamless integration.
