description=Let trusted AI assistants inspect, map, and automate QGIS
about=WAI QGIS MCP lets trusted AI assistants inspect projects, manage layers, run Processing algorithms, render maps, and execute PyQGIS code. It can run arbitrary PyQGIS code, so only connect assistants you trust. Setup: open Plugins > WAI QGIS MCP > WAI QGIS MCP, click Start Server, then use the "Assistant setup help" button in that panel for the exact command for your assistant. In short: Claude Desktop installs a .mcpb extension from the latest GitHub release and needs no separate Node.js. Claude Code, the Codex CLI and the ChatGPT desktop app need Node.js 18+ and run the server with npx. In the ChatGPT desktop app, add the server under Settings > Plugins > MCPs and use Work mode, because Chat mode cannot see local MCP servers. Keep QGIS running on the same computer as the assistant. See the homepage for complete setup and troubleshooting.
