I work with QGIS, but until recently I’ve only skated over the surface. In the last year or so I’ve found LLMs increasingly useful as a companion to help me code automation scripts or just to ask “how can I do this?” questions. QGIS is deep and powerful but that power can be hard to access. LLMs make it a lot easier.
A couple months ago I needed some info about a home/property. The county publishes a zip file of "geo data", and after downloading it I asked Claude Code how I can work with the files. It recommended QGIS, but I was lost when I opened it and searched GitHub to find this MCP server[0].
20 minutes later it had every piece of data I could possibly want placed onto the parcel on the map. It felt magical.

Yeah I've started doing the same thing with ChatGPT. You know that it's already read all the manuals and tutorials...
