cesium-mcp
AI-powered CesiumJS 3D globe control — 43 tools for camera, entities, layers, animation, and interaction via MCP protocol. Also available as a remote server via Streamable HTTP.
Cesium MCP
The minimum-overhead way to add AI commands to CesiumJS
cesium-mcp-bridge is a protocol-agnostic command dispatcher with 60+ tools, drivable from browser-only agents, function calling, or MCP — your choice.
Three entry points: Browser Agent (simplest, zero backend) · function calling (embed in your web app) · MCP runtime (Claude Desktop / Cursor / Dify)
Try it now — open the live browser demo, no install, no signup.

Packages & Entry Points
| Module | Role | Status | Links |
|---|---|---|---|
| cesium-mcp-bridge | Protocol-agnostic command dispatcher (60+ tools) | Mainline, actively iterated | |
| examples/browser-agent | Browser-only AI agent (recommended starting point, zero backend) | Recommended | example · live demo |
| cesium-mcp-runtime | MCP server (stdio + HTTP) | Stable, slow updates | |
| cesium-mcp-dev | CesiumJS API knowledge base for coding assistants | Maintained |
Which one? Personal project or quick try → browser-agent. Existing web app embedding an AI assistant → bridge + your own function calling. Calling from Claude Desktop / Cursor / Dify → MCP runtime.

The bridge is the only required piece. Pick whichever driver matches your scenario — they all hit the same 60+ tools.
Quick Start
Path 0 — Try in 30 seconds (browser agent, recommended)
Open the live demo, paste an OpenAI-compatible API key, and ask:
"Fly to the Eiffel Tower and drop a red marker"
Fork the examples/browser-agent folder to deploy your own.
Path 1 — Embed in your own web app (function calling)
npm install cesium-mcp-bridge
import { CesiumBridge } from 'cesium-mcp-bridge';
const bridge = new CesiumBridge(viewer);
// Then: send the bridge's tool schema to any LLM that supports function/tool calling,
// route the model's tool calls to bridge.execute(name, params).
See examples/browser-agent/index.html for a complete loop with OpenAI-compatible APIs.
Path 2 — Use from Claude Desktop / Cursor / Dify (MCP)
Install bridge as in Path 1, then start the MCP runtime:
# stdio mode (Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor)
npx cesium-mcp-runtime
# HTTP mode (Dify, remote/cloud MCP clients)
npx cesium-mcp-runtime --transport http --port 3000
MCP client config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"cesium": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "cesium-mcp-runtime"]
}
}
}
58 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.
| Toolset | Tools |
|---|---|
| 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.
Examples

Development
git clone https://github.com/gaopengbin/cesium-mcp.git
cd cesium-mcp

npm run build
Version Policy
Version format: {CesiumMajor}.{CesiumMinor}.{MCPPatch}
| Segment | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
1.139 | Tracks CesiumJS version — built & tested against Cesium ~1.139.0 | 1.139.8 → Cesium 1.139 |
.8 | MCP patch — independent iterations for new tools, bug fixes, docs | 1.139.7 → 1.139.8 |
When CesiumJS releases a new minor version (e.g. 1.140), we will bump accordingly: 1.140.0.
