Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Mindpilot MCP is categorized under Data Visualization and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Cesium MCP belongs to Data Visualization using local stdio subprocess. Select Mindpilot MCP when you need capabilities focused on data visualization and Cesium MCP when you require tools for data visualization.
Set the camera position immediately without animation. Use for deterministic setup or instant view changes. Returns { success: boolean, message?: string, error?: string }.
getView
Get the current camera position and orientation. Returns { success, data: { longitude, latitude, height, heading, pitch, roll }, message? }.
zoomToExtent
Animate the camera to a west/south/east/north bounding box. Returns { success: boolean, data?: unknown, message?: string, error?: string }.
saveViewpoint
Save the current camera state under a page-local name. Returns { success: boolean, data?: unknown, message?: string, error?: string }.
loadViewpoint
Restore a previously saved page-local camera state. Returns { success: boolean, data?: unknown, message?: string, error?: string }.
listViewpoints
List camera viewpoints saved in the current page. Returns { success: boolean, data?: unknown, message?: string, error?: string }.
exportScene
Export the current view, layer, and entity state as JSON. Returns { success: boolean, data?: unknown, message?: string, error?: string }.
addMarker
Add a point marker at geographic coordinates. Returns { success, data: { entityId }, message? }; keep entityId for removeEntity.
addLabel
Add property-based text labels for GeoJSON features. Returns { success, data: { labelCount: integer }, message? }.
addModel
Add a glTF or GLB model at geographic coordinates. Returns { success: boolean, data?: unknown, message?: string, error?: string }.
