Quick Start
1. Install the bridge in your CesiumJS app
npm install cesium-mcp-bridge
import { CesiumMcpBridge } from 'cesium-mcp-bridge';
const bridge = new CesiumMcpBridge(viewer, { port: 9100 });
bridge.connect();
2. Start the MCP runtime
npx cesium-mcp-runtime
3. Connect your AI agent
Add to your MCP client config (e.g. Claude Desktop):
{
"mcpServers": {
"cesium": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "cesium-mcp-runtime"]
}
}
}
Now ask your AI: "Fly to the Eiffel Tower and add a red marker"
49 Available Tools
Tools are organized into 12 toolsets. Default mode enables 4 core toolsets (~31 tools). Set CESIUM_TOOLSETS=all for everything, or let the AI discover and activate toolsets dynamically at runtime.
i18n: Tool descriptions default to English. Set
CESIUM_LOCALE=zh-CNfor Chinese.

| view (default) | flyTo, setView, getView, zoomToExtent, saveViewpoint, loadViewpoint, listViewpoints, exportScene |
| entity (default) | addMarker, addLabel, addModel, addPolygon, addPolyline, updateEntity, removeEntity, batchAddEntities, queryEntities, getEntityProperties |
| layer (default) | addGeoJsonLayer, listLayers, removeLayer, clearAll, setLayerVisibility, updateLayerStyle, getLayerSchema, setBasemap |
| interaction (default) | screenshot, highlight, measure |
| camera | lookAtTransform, startOrbit, stopOrbit, setCameraOptions |
| entity-ext | addBillboard, addBox, addCorridor, addCylinder, addEllipse, addRectangle, addWall |
| animation | createAnimation, controlAnimation, removeAnimation, listAnimations, updateAnimationPath, trackEntity, controlClock, setGlobeLighting |
| tiles | load3dTiles, loadTerrain, loadImageryService, loadCzml, loadKml |
| trajectory | playTrajectory |
| heatmap | addHeatmap |
| scene | setSceneOptions, setPostProcess |
| geolocation | geocode |
Relationship with CesiumGS official MCP servers: The
camera,entity-ext, andanimationtoolsets natively fuse capabilities from CesiumGS/cesium-mcp-server (Camera Server, Entity Server, Animation Server) into this project's unified bridge architecture. This means you get all official functionality plus additional tools — in a single MCP server, without running multiple processes.
