Description

This MCP server integrates a Model Context Protocol server with an ArcGIS Pro Add-In to enable interaction with GIS operations via local IPC (Named Pipes). It allows agents like GitHub Copilot in Agent mode to query maps, list layers, count features, and zoom to layers directly within ArcGIS Pro. The solution includes an in-process Add-In running inside ArcGIS Pro and a .NET 8 console app MCP server that communicates through Named Pipes, facilitating seamless GIS environment automation and querying.
