What is the ArcGIS MCP Server?
Connect your ArcGIS account to any AI agent and take full control of your location and spatial intelligence through natural conversation.
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
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your ArcGIS Developer API Key
- Start exploring and calculating spatial data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more switching tabs to specialized GIS dashboards. Your AI agent acts as a fully integrated geoprocessing command center.
Who is this for?
- Logistics teams — optimize fleet routes, trace deliveries, and calculate exact driving times without leaving your operations workflow
- Retail businesses — map out service areas and understand the geographic reach of your new store locations
- Real estate agents — automate batch address queries and enrich property listings with hyper-local context
- Data scientists — clean and resolve coordinate anomalies using the powerful ArcGIS suggestion engine
Built-in capabilities (10)
Addresses must be provided as an ArcGIS-compatible JSON array string. Geocode a bulk batch of up to 1000 addresses
Calculate travel time and distances between multiple origins and destinations
Facilities specified as lon,lat. Calculate drive-time, walk-time, or travel-distance service areas
Use this to turn text addresses into latitude and longitude. Find an address or place using ArcGIS Geocoding
g., USA, BRA, FRA). Ensures results are geographically bounded. Find an address filtered by a specific country
Coordinate format must be lon,lat (e.g. -117.19,34.05). Discover the closest address to a specific location (lon,lat)
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
Takes an ArcGIS Orders JSON mapping string detailing the stops. Solve a Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) for a fleet
Use this to help users select valid addresses before performing a full geocode request. Get autocomplete suggestions for partial addresses or place names
Get autocomplete suggestions biased towards a specific location
Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns ArcGIS into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from ArcGIS and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI agent process a spreadsheet of hundreds of addresses into coordinates automatically?
Yes. Simply share an array or JSON of addresses, and your agent can use the batch geocoding tool to process up to 1000 records in a single API call, returning precise latitude and longitude faster than any manual lookup.
How can I figure out the optimal driving route between 5 delivery stops?
Share the coordinates of your multiple stops (lon,lat) with your AI agent. It utilizes the ArcGIS route solving engine to compute the fastest sequential path and returns a detailed breakdown of turn-by-turn directions and exact travel estimates.
Can I search for a location but strictly within a particular country?
Absolutely. You can request the agent to geocode a place and pass a specific ISO country code (e.g., FRA for France, USA for United States). This ensures your spatial results are strictly bounded to that region, ideal for local datasets.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
