### Description (declared)

# 3DCityDB MCP Server

A [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that gives AI assistants direct, natural language access to the **3DCityDB v5**.

It dynamically resolves object classes, properties, codelists, and generic attributes from the database so the AI can answer spatial questions, write and execute SQL queries, and reason about CityGML data — without any manual prompt engineering.

---

## Features

- **Dynamic schema resolution** — walks the CityGML class hierarchy to discover available object classes and their properties
- **Property filtering** — only includes properties that actually exist in the database
- **Codelist resolution** — fetches code meanings only for codes present in the DB
- **Generic attribute enrichment** — automatic categorical detection for generic attributes
- **Read-only query execution** — `run_query` enforces SELECT-only; writes are blocked
- **Prompt assembly** — `assemble_prompt` orchestrates all tools into a complete system prompt in one call
- **Gradio chat UI** — browser-based interface with multi-LLM support (Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama)
- **CityGML import** — one-click import via the Gradio UI (fullstack Docker mode only)

---

## Deployment Options

There are three ways to run the 3DCityDB MCP Server:

| | Option 1: PyPI | Option 2: Docker BYOD | Option 3: Docker Fullstack |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Best for** | Claude Code / Claude Desktop power users | Existing 3DCityDB instances | Starting from a `.gml` file |
| **Requires** | Python 3.10+, running 3DCityDB | Docker, running 3DCityDB | Docker only |
| **Gradio UI** | No (uses your AI client directly) | Yes (`localhost:7860`) | Yes (`localhost:7860`) |
| **CityGML import** | Manual | Manual | Via Gradio UI |
| **Database** | Your own | Your own | Bundled (PostgreSQL + PostGIS + SFCGAL) |

---

## Option 1: PyPI Package

Install the MCP server as a Python package and connect it to Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or any MCP-compatible client.
