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.
Mastra's agent abstraction provides a clean separation between LLM logic and ArcGIS tool infrastructure. Connect 10 tools through the Vinkius and use Mastra's built-in workflow engine to chain tool calls with conditional logic, retries, and parallel execution — deployable to any Node.js host in one command.
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 Mastra AI 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 Mastra AI with the ArcGIS MCP Server
Mastra AI provides unique advantages when paired with ArcGIS through the Model Context Protocol.
Mastra's agent abstraction provides a clean separation between LLM logic and tool infrastructure — add ArcGIS without touching business code
Built-in workflow engine chains MCP tool calls with conditional logic, retries, and parallel execution for complex automation
TypeScript-native: full type inference for every ArcGIS tool response with IDE autocomplete and compile-time checks
One-command deployment to any Node.js host — Vercel, Railway, Fly.io, or your own infrastructure
ArcGIS + Mastra AI Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Mastra AI combined with the ArcGIS MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Automated workflows: build multi-step agents that query ArcGIS, process results, and trigger downstream actions in a typed pipeline
SaaS integrations: embed ArcGIS as a first-class tool in your product's AI features with Mastra's clean agent API
Background jobs: schedule Mastra agents to query ArcGIS on a cron and store results in your database automatically
Multi-agent systems: create specialist agents that collaborate using ArcGIS tools alongside other MCP servers
ArcGIS MCP Tools for Mastra AI (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect ArcGIS to Mastra AI 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 Mastra AI
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Mastra AI 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."
