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-CN for Chinese.

ToolsetTools
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

Relationship with CesiumGS official MCP servers: The camera, entity-ext, and animation toolsets 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.
