MCP tool from Arcgis Portal MCP by Asem-D

How to use it

Project documentation lists get_item_data for the Arcgis Portal MCP MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
