geolens-mcp
Apache-2.0 read-only Model Context Protocol server for GeoLens.
Point a coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, …) at a GeoLens instance so it can discover datasets, inspect schemas, read features and maps, and run read-only SQL from inside a dev session. It has no write, ingest or admin tools, and every call is scoped to the caller's access.
Install
pip install geolens-mcp # or: uvx geolens-mcp
The server reads GEOLENS_INSTANCE and, for non-public data, GEOLENS_API_KEY from the environment. Client setup, the tool list and the credential rules are in the MCP guide.
Develop
cd mcp
uv run --extra dev python -m pytest -v
