# ArcGIS Pro

> Use this tool when you need to streamline geospatial workflows and automate tasks in ArcGIS Pro, solving problems such as layer management and geoprocessing operations through natural language control. It takes JSON files as input and outputs controlled ArcGIS Pro actions, including buffer, clip, and map export operations. Ideal for use cases requiring efficient spatial analysis and mapping, especially with ArcGIS Pro 3.x.

## Description

Enables natural language control of ArcGIS Pro through Claude Desktop by exposing approximately 30 MCP tools for layer management, geoprocessing operations (buffer, clip, intersect, dissolve), coordinate system handling, layout creation, and map export. Uses file-based IPC (JSON files at ~/.arcgis_mcp/) to issue commands to a bridge script running inside ArcGIS Pro's embedded Python environment. Requires ArcGIS Pro 3.x and runs as a pure Python implementation without .NET dependencies.
