What it does

Geo MCP Servers is an agent skill from sparkgeo/geo-mcp-servers. Browse, search, and recommend geospatial / GIS / mapping / earth-observation MCP servers, and add newly discovered ones to the tracked list. Use when the user asks "is there an MCP server for <geospatial thing", wants to find a geocoding/routing/PostGIS/STAC/imagery/weather MCP server, or says they found a new geo MCP server to track.

Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Geospatial analysis and MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: A curated, tracked list of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for geospatial, GIS, mapping, and earth-observation work — geocoding, routing, PostGIS, STAC/imagery, QGIS/ArcGIS… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks is there an MCP server for <geospatial thing
  • Wants to find a geocoding/routing/PostGIS/STAC/imagery/weather MCP server
  • Says they found a new geo MCP server to track

Example prompts

  • “is there an MCP server for <geospatial thing”
  • “/geo-mcp-servers”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the catalog data
  2. Match the user's need to a category and to entry tags/description.
  3. Recommend the closest 1–3 servers with their URLs and a one-line why. If

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c9a683c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Geo MCP Servers loads about 809 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 288 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~809

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Geospatial MCP Servers

This skill wraps a curated, version-controlled catalog of MCP servers for geospatial work. servers.yaml is the source of truth; README.md is generated from it.

Locate the catalog

The skill is installed at ~/.claude/skills/geo-mcp-servers, a symlink into the cloned repo's skill/ directory. Resolve the repo root from it — do not assume any absolute path:

bash
REPO="$(cd "$(dirname "$(readlink ~/.claude/skills/geo-mcp-servers)")" && pwd -P)"
echo "$REPO"   # repo root — parent of the skill dir

If readlink returns nothing (the skill was copied rather than symlinked), ask the user where they cloned geo-mcp-servers, or search for it, e.g. find ~ -name servers.yaml -path '*geo-mcp-servers*' 2>/dev/null. Use the resolved $REPO in every command below.

Find / recommend a server

  1. Read the catalog data:

    bash
    REPO="$(cd "$(dirname "$(readlink ~/.claude/skills/geo-mcp-servers)")" && pwd -P)"
    cat "$REPO/servers.yaml"
  2. Match the user's need to a category and to entry tags/description. Categories include: geocoding, routing, mapping, database (PostGIS/DuckDB), remote_sensing (STAC/EO), weather, desktop_gis (QGIS/ArcGIS), toolkit, data_access, other.

  3. Recommend the closest 1–3 servers with their URLs and a one-line why. If nothing fits, say so plainly rather than inventing a server.

Add a newly discovered server

When the user points you at a new geospatial MCP server (a URL, a name, "track this one"):

  1. Confirm it's real and geospatial — fetch/inspect the source URL if needed.

  2. Check it isn't already in servers.yaml (match on url and name).

  3. Append an entry under servers: in $REPO/servers.yaml:

    yaml
      - name: <Name>
        url: <canonical source URL, prefer GitHub repo>
        description: <one line>
        category: <one of the keys in the categories map>
        author: <person/org>
        language: <Python|TypeScript|...>
        official: <true only for vendor-published>
        tags: [<keywords>]
        added: <YYYY-MM-DD>
  4. Regenerate the README (the repo ships a .venv with PyYAML):

    bash
    REPO="$(cd "$(dirname "$(readlink ~/.claude/skills/geo-mcp-servers)")" && pwd -P)"
    "$REPO/.venv/bin/python" "$REPO/scripts/generate_readme.py"

    If $REPO/.venv is missing (fresh clone), create it once: python3 -m venv "$REPO/.venv" && "$REPO/.venv/bin/pip" install -r "$REPO/requirements.txt".

  5. Report what you added, and offer to commit servers.yaml + README.md together (don't push without asking).

Notes

  • Never edit the tables in README.md by hand — the generator overwrites them.
  • Only add official: true when the vendor/owner of the underlying service publishes the server.
  • Prefer one canonical URL per server (the GitHub repo).
