Security and access

Where requests go, whose account Claude uses, and what you control.

Server

mcp.giscloud.com

On the developer’s own domain (giscloud.com), not a third-party host. Claude sends requests here when it uses a tool.

Account

Your own GIS Cloud account

You sign in when you connect. Claude works through that account, so it reaches what the account can reach.

Control

You approve write tools

In Claude’s connector settings you can choose, tool by tool, whether Claude must ask before using it. Write tools are marked in the list above. See write tools

    Questions people ask

    What does the GIS Cloud connector do in Claude?

    GIS Cloud is an AI-native, cloud GIS platform. Instead of clicking through a desktop GIS, you describe what you want and Claude does it across your whole account, covering the full lifecycle from field data capture to maps, analysis, apps, and reports. The GIS Cloud MCP server lets Claude create and style maps and layers, add, edit, and query features, run spatial analysis and structured SQL over your data, build Mobile Data Collection forms for field teams, import files into PostGIS tables, manage tables, datasources, and bookmarks, render live interactive maps, and generate PDF and Excel reports. It works through a propose-confirm model, so you approve every write and destructive actions are clearly flagged, with account-scoped OAuth access. ISO 27001 certified, serving organizations in 60+ countries. Where GIS Cloud fits your workflow: In the field: "Create a Mobile Data Collection form for pothole inspections with severity, surface type, and photo fields, then bind it to a new layer so my crew can start collecting today." On the map: "Import this CSV of asset locations, put it on a new layer, and color the points by condition rating." Through analysis: "Find every parcel within 200 meters of the flood zone, then list the ten largest by area." End to end, in one ask: "Map last month's bridge inspections, flag anything rated poor, and generate a PDF report with the inspector photos and notes."

    Is the GIS Cloud connector official?

    It is made by GIS Cloud and carries the Anthropic verified mark in Anthropic’s directory. This site is independent and lists it from the official directory.

    What is the GIS Cloud MCP server URL?

    https://mcp.giscloud.com/mcp. It is a remote MCP server hosted at mcp.giscloud.com. Paste it into Claude as a custom connector, or add it to Claude Code with: claude mcp add --transport http gis-cloud https://mcp.giscloud.com/mcp

    How do I add GIS Cloud to Claude Code?

    Run "claude mcp add --transport http gis-cloud https://mcp.giscloud.com/mcp" in your terminal, then start Claude Code, type /mcp, choose gis-cloud and sign in to GIS Cloud. Add "--scope user" to make it available in every project.

    Do I need a GIS Cloud account?

    Yes. You sign in to GIS Cloud when you connect it, and Claude works through that account.

    Can Claude change or delete my GIS Cloud data?

    Judging by tool names, 27 of its 55 tools can change data, including 8 that delete or remove things. The other 25 only read. In Claude you can choose, per tool, whether Claude must ask before using it.
