gis-mcp-client 0.1.1

Lightweight client for connecting to GIS MCP servers to perform geospatial operations

GIS MCP Client

Lightweight Python client that connects to remote GIS MCP servers via SSE (Server-Sent Events) to enable agentic AI operations on the cloud. Perform geospatial operations remotely without installing heavy GIS libraries.

Features

• 🔹 Lightweight - No heavy GIS libraries required, just MCP client dependencies
• 🔹 SSE Connection - Connects to remote GIS MCP servers via Server-Sent Events for real-time agentic AI operations
• 🔹 Cloud-Based - Perform agentic AI operations on the cloud without local GIS dependencies
• 🔹 HTTP & SSE Support - Connect via HTTP or Server-Sent Events
• 🔹 Remote Storage - Upload/download files to/from remote server storage
• 🔹 Authentication - Support for token-based and basic authentication
• 🔹 Easy to Use - Simple API for calling remote GIS operations

Installation

pip install gis-mcp-client

Quick Start

See the examples for runnable code.
