What the publisher says

Quick Start
arcgis-mcp-bridge requires Windows, a licensed ArcGIS Pro installation, and Python 3.11 or newer for the bridge package.
Install the bootstrap package using one package manager:
# Option A — pip
py -m pip install --upgrade arcgis-mcp-bridge
# Option B — uv
uv pip install --upgrade arcgis-mcp-bridgeThen clone ArcGIS Pro's Python environment:
# The final JSON report contains the target `python_exe` path.
py -m arcgis_mcp.setup_envIf the installed console command is available on PATH, arcgis-mcp-setup is equivalent to py -m arcgismcp.setupenv.
Important for Windows systems with multiple Python installations: the
setup is not complete until arcgis-mcp-bridge is installed into the
reported arcgis-mcp-env\python.exe. Use that same interpreter for both the
MCP server command and ARCPYPYTHONPATH. This prevents worker failures
caused by packages or native extensions being loaded from another Python
environment.
See 05 — Installation for the complete setup and configuration.
100 declarative geoprocessing tools. Two isolated processes. One security floor.
A secure, local-first, asynchronous MCP server exposing ArcGIS Pro's ArcPy engine to Claude Desktop and other MCP hosts over stdio JSON-RPC.

Why arcgis-mcp-bridge?
Highlight: Sketch → GIS Pipeline
Hand-drawn parcel boundary → photo → geodatabase feature class. ORB+RANSAC image registration, HSV ink segmentation, direct GDB commit. No manual digitizing required.
Demo coming soon. To preview the sketch-to-GIS pipeline:
1. Draw a polygon on paper and photograph it.
2. Ask Claude: "Use extractsketchtogis to register this photo
against my basemap and commit the result to my GDB."*
3. The feature class appears in ArcGIS Pro — no manual digitizing.
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
