# arcgis-rest

## What arcgis-rest does, in the publisher's words

A local pi workspace for GIS tasks. The agent uses pi's codemode scripts to call ArcGIS REST endpoints directly, read local exports and drive a live map over MCP. There is no ArcGIS CLI or ArcGIS MCP server.

New to the project? docs/overview/index.html is a plain-language introduction with screenshots of a recorded run; open it in a browser.

One run, recorded side by side: the terminal on the left (the Docker launch, the question, pi's codemode steps and its answer) and mappi's live map on the right. The question:

- Pi, a minimalist agent harness. A small core (file tools, skills, extensions) instead of a framework: arcpi adds one TypeScript extension, four Markdown skills and a system-prompt file, and a Bash launcher hands them to pi. No build step, no dependencies. See pi and the arcgis-rest plugin.
