Set up

Skills are installed by placing their folder where your agent loads skills.

Download ZIP from GitHub Open the repository

The download comes from github.com/Esri/esri-developer-agent-skills itself, not from our server, so what you get is exactly what its author published.

Install instructions come from the README

Skills do not use an MCP config. Follow the steps in the README below.

Esri developer agent skills

Install Esri developer agent skills and an MCP server via Agent Plugins to give AI clients ArcGIS development guidance and access to official Esri documentation.

What's Included

  • Esri developer agent skills: Core and SDK/API plugins and skills for ArcGIS development, including account requirements, authentication guidance, coding best practices, and instructions for querying official documentation with technology-specific focus areas.
  • MCP server: The MCP for Esri developer documentation lets agents search Esri's official ArcGIS developer documentation.

Installation

  1. Follow your client's installation documentation below to add plugins from this repository.
  2. Install arcgis-developer-core for the shared development skills.
  3. Install the core and SDK/API plugins you need from the catalog below.

For example, a web mapping project may use arcgis-developer-core, arcgis-maps-sdk-for-javascript, and calcite-design-system together.

Note: The arcgis-developer-core plugin must be installed to support all SDK/API plugins.

Client Documentation

Installation steps and support for skills, MCP servers, and agent extensions vary by client. These links describe each client's installation or extension workflow.
