GeoLens

Overview

GeoLens is a Model Context Protocol server that provides read-only access to a self-hosted GeoLens spatial catalog, including datasets, features, maps, and sandboxed SQL queries. It integrates directly with AI assistants as a set of tools they can invoke to explore and analyze geospatial data.

The server runs locally via the geolens-mcp Python package installed through uvx. It communicates over stdio and requires the GEOLENS_INSTANCE environment variable for authentication via API key. Version v1.17.0 is available under the Apache-2.0 license with source code at geolens-io/geolens on GitHub, where the project has 215 stars.

GeoLens is listed in the Database category and works with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain GeoLens, you can claim this listing to verify your ownership and keep the information current.
