Install ArcGIS MCP Bridge in Continue

What you need first

• Continue, installed.
• uv, which gives the uvx command the server starts with.
• Your own value for YOUR_ARCPY_PYTHON_PATH.

Steps

1. Open ~/.continue/config.yaml. On Windows it is %USERPROFILE%\.continue\config.yaml.
2. Add this entry. If the file already has mcpServers, add only the item from - name on.

mcpServers:
  - name: "arcgis-mcp-bridge"
    type: stdio
    command: "uvx"
    args:
      - "arcgis-mcp-bridge==0.6.8"
    env:
      "ARCPY_PYTHON_PATH": "YOUR_ARCPY_PYTHON_PATH"

3. Replace YOUR_ARCPY_PYTHON_PATH with your own value.
4. Save the file and restart Continue.

Check it worked

Ask Continue: List the tools of arcgis-mcp-bridge.

If it does not start

spawn uvx ENOENT

uv is not on the PATH that Continue sees. Install it, or write the full path of uvx in the config.

The server starts, but its tools fail

A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.

Nothing changes after a restart

The file is not valid YAML any more. Check that the entry is indented like the lines around it.
