ArcGIS MCP Bridge

About

A secure, local-first MCP server exposing ArcGIS Pro's ArcPy engine over stdio JSON-RPC.

Use this server

Add it to your MCP client. The catalogue lists this config verbatim from its source — it does not run, download, or vouch for the server. Review the command before you run it.
