* Every MCP server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS - a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
About ArcGIS MCP Server
Connect your ArcGIS account to any AI agent and take full control of your location and spatial intelligence through natural conversation.
Google ADK natively supports ArcGIS as an MCP tool provider — declare the Vinkius Edge URL and the framework handles discovery, validation, and execution automatically. Combine 10 tools with Gemini's long-context reasoning for complex multi-tool workflows, with production-ready session management and evaluation built in.
What you can do
- Geocoding & Reverse Geocoding — Convert street addresses to coordinates instantly or discover the closest address to a specific longitude/latitude pair
- Batch Geocoding — Process bulk batches of up to 1000 geographical addresses in a single AI operation
- Route Solving — Calculate the optimal route between multiple stops, complete with turn-by-turn directions, travel time, and precise distances
- Vehicle Routing — Solve complex Vehicle Routing Problems (VRP) to optimize fleets and logistics deliveries
- Service Area Analysis — Calculate drive-time, walk-time, or travel-distance polygons reachable from a specific facility
- Origin-Destination Matrices — Compute travel constraints and cost matrices between multiple origins and tracking destinations
The ArcGIS MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Google ADK in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Google ADK with the ArcGIS MCP Server
Google ADK provides unique advantages when paired with ArcGIS through the Model Context Protocol.
Google ADK natively supports MCP tool servers — declare a tool provider and the framework handles discovery, validation, and execution
Built on Gemini models, ADK provides long-context reasoning ideal for complex multi-tool workflows with ArcGIS
Production-ready features like session management, evaluation, and deployment come built-in — not bolted on
Seamless integration with Google Cloud services means you can combine ArcGIS tools with BigQuery, Vertex AI, and Cloud Functions
ArcGIS + Google ADK Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Google ADK combined with the ArcGIS MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Enterprise data agents: ADK agents query ArcGIS and cross-reference results with internal databases for comprehensive analysis
Multi-modal workflows: combine ArcGIS tool responses with Gemini's vision and language capabilities in a single agent
Automated compliance checks: schedule ADK agents to query ArcGIS regularly and flag policy violations or configuration drift
Internal tool platforms: build self-service agent platforms where teams connect their own MCP servers including ArcGIS
ArcGIS MCP Tools for Google ADK (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect ArcGIS to Google ADK via MCP:
batch_geocode_addresses
Addresses must be provided as an ArcGIS-compatible JSON array string. Geocode a bulk batch of up to 1000 addresses
calculate_od_matrix
Calculate travel time and distances between multiple origins and destinations
calculate_service_area
Facilities specified as lon,lat. Calculate drive-time, walk-time, or travel-distance service areas
find_address_candidates
Use this to turn text addresses into latitude and longitude. Find an address or place using ArcGIS Geocoding
find_address_country
g., USA, BRA, FRA). Ensures results are geographically bounded. Find an address filtered by a specific country
reverse_geocode
Coordinate format must be lon,lat (e.g. -117.19,34.05). Discover the closest address to a specific location (lon,lat)
solve_nav_route
Point sequence must be provided as lon,lat;lon,lat. Returns detailed turn-by-turn directions, travel time, and distance. Find the best route between two or more locations
solve_vehicle_routing
Takes an ArcGIS Orders JSON mapping string detailing the stops. Solve a Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) for a fleet
suggest_geocoding
Use this to help users select valid addresses before performing a full geocode request. Get autocomplete suggestions for partial addresses or place names
suggest_location_bias
Get autocomplete suggestions biased towards a specific location
Example Prompts for ArcGIS in Google ADK
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Google ADK agent to start working with ArcGIS immediately.
"What is the closest address to coordinates -117.19, 34.05?"
"Find the optimal driving route visiting stops -122.4,37.7 and -122.5,37.8."
"Resolve the coordinate location for 'Central Park' but restrict the search strictly to the USA."
