What is QGISMCP?
QGISMCP is a tool that integrates QGIS with Claude AI through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It consists of a QGIS plugin and a Python server that allows Claude to control QGIS functionalities.
How to use QGISMCP?
To use QGISMCP, you need to install the QGIS plugin by copying the plugin folder to the QGIS profile plugins directory. Then, configure Claude AI to connect to the QGIS MCP server by adding the server configuration to the claude_desktop_config.json file. Finally, start the server from the QGIS plugin and use the available tools in Claude to interact with QGIS.
