## 🚀 Features

- 🔍 Comprehensive geometric operations (intersection, union, buffer, etc.)
- 🌐 Advanced coordinate transformations and projections
- 📏 Precise distance and area calculations
- 🗺️ Spatial analysis and validation
- 🛠️ Easy integration with MCP-compatible clients

## 📋 Prerequisites

- Python 3.10 or higher
- MCP-compatible client (like Claude Desktop or Cursor)
- Internet connection for package installation

## 🛠️ Installation

Choose the installation method that best suits your needs:

### Installing via Smithery

To install GIS MCP Server for Claude Desktop automatically via [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/@mahdin75/gis-mcp):

```bash
npx -y @smithery/cli install @mahdin75/gis-mcp --client claude
```

### 📦 pip Installation

The pip installation is recommended for most users:

1. Install uv package manager:

```bash
pip install uv
```

2. Create the Virtual Environment (Python 3.10+):

```bash
uv venv --python=3.10
```

3. Install the package:

```bash
uv pip install gis-mcp
```

4. Start the server:

```bash
gis-mcp
```

#### pip Configuration

To use the pip installation with Claude or Cursor, add the following configuration:

**Claude Desktop:**

**Windows:**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gis-mcp": {
      "command": "C:\\Users\\YourUsername\\.venv\\Scripts\\gis-mcp",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}
```

**Linux/Mac:**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gis-mcp": {
      "command": "/home/YourUsername/.venv/bin/gis-mcp",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}
```

**Cursor IDE** (create `.cursor/mcp.json`):

**Windows:**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gis-mcp": {
      "command": "C:\\Users\\YourUsername\\.venv\\Scripts\\gis-mcp",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}
```

**Linux/Mac:**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gis-mcp": {
      "command": "/home/YourUsername/.venv/bin/gis-mcp",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}
```

After configuration:

1. Make sure to replace `YourUsername` with your actual username
2. For development installation, replace `/path/to/gis-mcp` with the actual path to your project
3. Restart your IDE to apply the changes
4. You can now use all GIS operations through Claude or Cursor!

### 🛠️ Development Installation

For contributors and developers:

3. Install the package in development mode:

```bash
uv pip install -e .
```

4. Start the server:

```bash
python -m gis_mcp
```
