Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

        proc = subprocess.run(

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add arcgis-mcp-bridge -- uvx arcgis-mcp-bridge
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "arcgis-mcp-bridge": {
      "args": [
        "arcgis-mcp-bridge"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml

command = "uvx"
args = ["arcgis-mcp-bridge"]

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "arcgis-mcp-bridge": {
      "args": [
        "arcgis-mcp-bridge"
      ],

      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: ARCPY_PYTHON_PATH (Path to the licensed ArcGIS Pro Python interpreter or cloned arcgis-mcp-env interpreter.), ARCGIS_MCP_ALLOWED_ROOTS (Optional semicolon-separated PathGuard boundary roots for local GIS data.), ARCGIS_MCP_SCRATCH_GDB (Optional default output workspace. If set, it must point to an existing file geodatabase.), ARCGIS_MCP_MAX_WORKERS (Optional maximum number of concurrent ArcPy worker subprocesses. Defaults to 2.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

ArcGIS MCP Bridge — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for ArcGIS MCP Bridge?
ArcGIS MCP Bridge runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package arcgis-mcp-bridge was installed 242 times last week.
How do I connect ArcGIS MCP Bridge?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls arcgis-mcp-bridge straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use ArcGIS MCP Bridge?
The pypi package arcgis-mcp-bridge was installed 242 times in the last week. Week over week that is -1%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is ArcGIS MCP Bridge open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Python and 16 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
