geoservercloud-mcp 1.0.1.dev28658291121

An MCP server that wraps the python-geoservercloud library, exposing 80+ GeoServer operations as natural-language tools for AI assistants like Claude, VS Code Copilot, and other MCP-compatible clients.

Once connected, you can just ask:

• "List all workspaces in GeoServer"
• "Create a new workspace called test_data"
• "Publish the roads table from my PostGIS database"

Quick start (Claude Code)

One command — no manual install, uvx fetches and runs the server for you.

Simplest — no credentials up front:

claude mcp add geoserver -- uvx geoservercloud-mcp

The AI will ask you for the GeoServer URL, username, and password when it first needs them. Great for trying it out or switching between servers.

Or set the connection up front:

claude mcp add geoserver \
  --env GEOSERVER_URL=http://localhost:8080/geoserver \
  --env GEOSERVER_USER=admin \
  --env GEOSERVER_PASSWORD=geoserver \
  -- uvx geoservercloud-mcp

That's it — start Claude Code and ask it to list your workspaces to confirm it's connected.

Manage it later with claude mcp list, claude mcp get geoserver, or claude mcp remove geoserver. Add --scope user to the add command to make it available in every project instead of just this one.

pip install geoservercloud-mcp

# or run without installing (requires uv: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/)
uvx geoservercloud-mcp

Environment variables

All three are optional — if you skip them, you can configure the connection at runtime by asking the AI.

Development

Want to run it from source or contribute?

git clone https://github.com/ronitjadhav/geoservercloud-mcp.git
cd geoservercloud-mcp

poetry install                    # set up the environment
poetry run pytest                 # run the tests
poetry run geoservercloud-mcp     # run the server (stdio)

Need a GeoServer to test against? cd docker && docker compose up -d spins up GeoServer + PostGIS + the MCP server.

For the full workflow — adding new tools, linting, releasing, and how publishing works — see the Developer Guide.

Python library

This server is built on the python-geoservercloud library. For programmatic access without MCP:

from geoservercloud import GeoServerCloud

geoserver = GeoServerCloud(
    url="http://localhost:8080/geoserver",
    user="admin",
    password="geoserver",
)
geoserver.create_workspace("my_workspace")
