Which one? Personal project or quick try → browser-agent. Let a compatible browser agent discover page-local Cesium tools → WebMCP. Existing web app embedding an AI assistant → bridge + your own function calling. Calling from Claude Desktop / Cursor / Dify → MCP runtime.

The bridge remains the execution core, while contracts and protocol adapters stay separate. Pick whichever driver matches your scenario — they all reach the same Cesium command layer. On WebMCP-capable browsers, cesium-mcp-webmcp can expose 61 browser-safe commands in 12 selectable toolsets through document.modelContext without adding an MCP transport or backend server.

Quick Start

Path 0 — Try in 30 seconds (browser agent, recommended)

Open the live demo and ask—the hosted model is ready without a browser API key:

"Fly to the Eiffel Tower and drop a red marker"

Fork the examples/browser-agent folder to deploy your own.

Path 1 — Expose Cesium tools through WebMCP (Chrome 149+ experimental)

The browser-agent example automatically registers all 61 browser-safe page tools when document.modelContext is available. Its built-in chat uses automatic toolset routing to keep each normal request at 20 tools or fewer, while still offering explicit core, single-toolset, and all-61 modes:

npm run build -w packages/cesium-mcp-bridge
npm run build -w packages/cesium-mcp-webmcp
npx serve . -l 4173

Open http://localhost:4173/examples/browser-agent/, click Start, then inspect or execute the tools in DevTools → Application → WebMCP. Enable #enable-webmcp-testing and #devtools-webmcp-support in chrome://flags for local testing.

Application developers install the adapter separately. End users only open the integrated website; they do not install npm packages or run an MCP server.

npm install cesium cesium-mcp-bridge cesium-mcp-webmcp

import { CesiumBridge } from 'cesium-mcp-bridge'
import { registerCesiumWebMcp } from 'cesium-mcp-webmcp'

const bridge = new CesiumBridge(viewer)
const registration = await registerCesiumWebMcp(bridge, {
  toolsets: 'all',
  excludeTools: ['geocode'], // add your own browser geocoder to expose this tool
})

// Later, if the page is unmounted:
registration.unregister()

See the WebMCP adapter API for custom integrations. For a complete npm + Vite application, start from the WebMCP integration example.

Path 2 — 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 3 — Use from Claude Desktop / Cursor / Dify (MCP)

Install bridge as in Path 2, then start the MCP runtime:

# Stable channel — npm latest, MCP SDK v2
npx cesium-mcp-runtime

# HTTP mode
npx cesium-mcp-runtime --transport http --port 3000

The stable release serves existing MCP 2025-11-25 clients and the new 2026-07-28 protocol from the same stdio/HTTP entry. It uses the stable TypeScript SDK v2 and passes the official server-stateless conformance scenario (28/28).

MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cesium": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "cesium-mcp-runtime"]
    }
  }
}

62 Available Command Tools

Tools are organized into 12 toolsets. Default mode enables 4 core toolsets (30 tools). Set CESIUM_TOOLSETS=all for everything, or let the AI discover and activate toolsets dynamically at runtime.

Canonical contracts: Tool descriptions default to English; set CESIUM_LOCALE=zh-CN for Chinese. Titles, behavior annotations, localized descriptions, defaults, input validation, MCP output schemas, and structured results all come from the shared JSON Schemas in cesium-mcp-contracts. Text content remains available for older clients.

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, addGeoJsonPrimitive, 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, load3dGaussianSplat, loadTerrain, loadImageryService, loadCzml, loadKml, setEdgeDisplayMode
trajectory	playTrajectory
heatmap	addHeatmap
scene	setSceneOptions, setPostProcess, setIonToken (Runtime only)
geolocation	geocode

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.

Examples

See examples/minimal/ for a complete working demo.

Development

git clone https://github.com/gaopengbin/cesium-mcp.git
cd cesium-mcp
npm install
npm run build
npm test
npm run test:contracts
npm run test:routing
npm run test:e2e:packed

test:contracts is the focused parity gate for MCP Runtime metadata, WebMCP registration, Function Calling definitions, and the 60-tool Bridge Executor Registry. test:routing evaluates bilingual and multi-intent Browser Agent requests across all 12 toolsets, checking required-tool recall and the 20-tool automatic-routing budget. test:e2e:packed builds npm tarballs, installs them in a clean temporary project, opens the real Cesium Viewer, and verifies a Runtime-WebSocket-Bridge command round trip.

Version Policy

Version format: {CesiumMajor}.{CesiumMinor}.{MCPPatch}

Segment	Meaning	Example
1.143	Tracks CesiumJS version — built & tested against Cesium ~1.143.0	1.143.0 → Cesium 1.143
.x	MCP patch — independent iterations for new tools, bug fixes, docs	1.143.0 → 1.143.1

Official CesiumJS releases are reviewed before the compatibility baseline is bumped; the project does not automatically claim support for a newer release without Bridge verification.
