This server uses various GIS libraries to allow LLMs to convert between different geographic data formats, coordinate systems, and spatial references.
Features
- Reverse Geocoding - Convert coordinates to location information
- WKT/GeoJSON Conversion - Convert between Well-Known Text and GeoJSON formats
- CSV/GeoJSON Conversion - Transform tabular data with coordinates to GeoJSON and vice versa
- TopoJSON/GeoJSON Conversion - Convert between GeoJSON and TopoJSON (topology-preserving format)
- KML/GeoJSON Conversion - Transform KML files to GeoJSON format

Installation
To use this server with Claude Desktop, you need to configure it in the MCP settings:
For macOS:
Edit the file at '~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json'
{
"mcpServers": {
"gis-dataconversion-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"a11y-mcp-server"
]
}
}
}
For Windows:
Edit the file at %APPDATA%\Claude\settings\claude_mcp_settings.json
For Linux:
Edit the file at ~/.config/Claude/settings/claude_mcp_settings.json
Replace /path/to/axe-mcp-server/build/index.js with the actual path to your compiled server file.

FAQ
- What is the GIS Data Conversion MCP server?
- GIS Data Conversion is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server profile on explainx.ai. MCP lets AI hosts (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor) call tools and resources through a standard interface; this page summarizes categories, install hints, and community ratings.
- How do MCP servers relate to agent skills?
- Skills are reusable instruction packages (often SKILL.md); MCP servers expose live capabilities. Teams frequently combine both—skills for workflows, MCP for APIs and data. See explainx.ai/skills and explainx.ai/mcp-servers for parallel directories.
- How are reviews shown for GIS Data Conversion?
- This profile displays 10 aggregated ratings (sample rows for discoverability plus signed-in user reviews). Average score is about 4.5 out of 5—verify behavior in your own environment before production use.
