What is Google Earth Engine Mcp

The Google Earth Engine MCP Server is a sample application that utilizes the Vercel MCP Adapter to integrate an MCP server into a Next.js project, enabling interaction with Google Earth Engine’s geospatial analysis capabilities.

Use cases

This application can be used to authenticate with Google Earth Engine, visualize datasets, retrieve dataset information, compute statistics over defined regions, and search for Earth Engine datasets, making it a versatile tool for geospatial analysis and data visualization.

How to use

To use the MCP Server, one must update the ‘app/[transport]/route.ts’ file with the relevant tools, prompts, and resources as specified in the MCP TypeScript SDK documentation. Additionally, a Google Earth Engine account and a configured Google Cloud service account with Earth Engine access are necessary.

Key features

Key features of the Google Earth Engine tools within this MCP server include dataset visualization, statistics computation, dataset information retrieval, and the ability to search Earth Engine datasets, all accessible via a user-friendly interface integrated into a Next.js application.

Where to use

This MCP server can be deployed on Vercel and is suitable for applications requiring cloud-based geospatial analysis and data visualization. It is particularly useful for environmental research, urban planning, and any domain where geospatial data is relevant.

Usage

This sample app uses the Vercel MCP Adapter that allows you to drop in an MCP server on a group of routes in any Next.js project.

Update app/[transport]/route.ts with your tools, prompts, and resources following the MCP TypeScript SDK documentation.

Google Earth Engine Tools

This project includes MCP tools for interacting with Google Earth Engine, a cloud-based platform for geospatial analysis. These tools allow AI assistants to:

• Initialize and authenticate with Earth Engine
• Visualize Earth Engine datasets as maps
• Retrieve information about Earth Engine datasets
• Compute statistics for Earth Engine data in specified regions
• Search for Earth Engine datasets

For more details, see the Earth Engine Tools README.

To use Earth Engine tools, you’ll need:

1. A Google Earth Engine account
2. A Google Cloud service account with Earth Engine access
3. A service account private key for authentication

Notes for running on Vercel

• To use the SSE transport, requires a Redis attached to the project under process.env.REDIS_URL
• Make sure you have Fluid compute enabled for efficient execution
• After enabling Fluid compute, open app/route.ts and adjust maxDuration to 60 (or higher if using a Vercel Pro or Enterprise account)
• Deploy the Next.js MCP template
