Arcgis Mckinney

What Arcgis Mckinney does

Arcgis Mckinney provides MCP access to the City of McKinney, Texas open geospatial datasets. The available coverage includes parcels, zoning, public works, and city services. Agents can first search the catalog, then use the returned Feature Service URL to inspect or query a specific layer.

Results are intended for data discovery and retrieval. Dataset search returns names, summaries, record counts, owner or organization details, and service URLs. Layer queries return attribute rows and geometry where the ArcGIS service provides it.

How it works

The normal workflow starts with search_datasets, using a keyword such as parcels or zoning. The result identifies candidate datasets and supplies a URL for the relevant Feature Service or Map Service layer.

layer_info can then reveal the layer’s fields and data types, geometry type, total record count, and declared capabilities. This is useful before constructing a query because it shows which field names are available.

query_layer accepts a service URL plus SQL-like filtering and result controls. Use where to restrict records, out_fields to choose returned columns, order_by to sort results, and limit and offset to page through records. A broad sample can be requested with where="1=1" and out_fields="*".

Setup and configuration

The hosted MCP endpoint is:

https://gateway.pipeworx.io/arcgis-mckinney/mcp

Add that URL to an MCP client such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf. Its tool listing includes the three Arcgis Mckinney tools plus shared Pipeworx gateway tools such as discovery and routing utilities.

For a local connection, run the package with:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "arcgis-mckinney": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-arcgis-mckinney"]
    }
  }
}

The local process communicates over stdin and stdout and exposes only this pack’s tools. The hosted and local options use the same source and tool set, but the hosted endpoint also lists shared gateway tools.

Tools and capabilities

• search_datasets: find McKinney GIS datasets by keyword and obtain service URLs.
• query_layer: retrieve filtered ArcGIS layer records, selected attributes, and geometry.
• layer_info: inspect fields, geometry type, record count, and service capabilities.

The tools can also be called over HTTP through the Pipeworx tool API. For example, the dataset search endpoint accepts a JSON request containing a query value.

Limitations and notes

Arcgis Mckinney covers the City of McKinney GIS sources described above; it is not presented as a general ArcGIS search service. Queries require a Feature Service or Map Service layer URL, normally obtained from search_datasets. Field names and queryable capabilities vary by layer, so inspect metadata before relying on a query.

The integration is independent and unofficial, with no stated affiliation or endorsement from the upstream provider. The hosted endpoint’s exact tool scope can change because its initialization response is authoritative. The local package avoids the shared gateway meta-tools but does not provide cross-catalog routing through ask_pipeworx.
