ArcGIS Pro MCP bridge

This is a small helper program that connects your AI assistant to ArcGIS Pro on your Windows computer. Once it is set up, you can ask your AI in plain words to buffer, project, dissolve, or analyze your GIS data, and it will run the real ArcGIS tools for you. It is made for GIS analysts and map makers who already use ArcGIS Pro and want to save clicks.

What this MCP server does

You type a request in plain words, like buffering parcels or listing layers in a geodatabase. Your AI sends that request to this helper program running quietly on your PC. The helper starts a separate worker process that talks to ArcGIS Pro's ArcPy engine, runs the geoprocessing, and sends the result back. Your AI then tells you what happened, in normal chat language. Everything stays on your machine and inside folders you have allowed.

What you can do with it

• Buffer, dissolve, and overlay feature layers
• List and describe feature classes inside a geodatabase
• Project data to a different coordinate system
• Calculate slope, aspect, or hillshade from a DEM
• Run kernel density or hot spot analysis on points
• Export a map layout to PDF or PNG
• Check and repair geometry errors in your data

Try asking your AI

• “Buffer all parcels in my geodatabase by 50 meters and save to scratch.”
• “List all feature classes in C:\GIS\city.gdb starting with road_.”
• “Dissolve the neighborhoods layer by district_id.”
• “Calculate slope and aspect from the DEM at C:\GIS\dem.tif.”

What it gives back to you

You get back short, readable answers in the chat: lists of layers, counts of features, success or failure messages, and sometimes a path to a new file it created. If something goes wrong, it explains the error in plain words instead of crashing. It can also report where a new dataset was saved so you can open it in ArcGIS Pro.

Who it's for

GIS analysts, cartographers, and planners who already use ArcGIS Pro and want to speed up repetitive geoprocessing with AI help.
