Access Vexcel imagery and geospatial data within MCP-compatible AI platforms such as ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and Gemini.
Vexcel announced the Vexcel Model Context Protocol (MCP), which enables direct access to Vexcel’s aerial imagery and geospatial data within ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, and other MCP-compatible AI platforms.
AI is rapidly changing the way organizations make decisions and get work done, but most AI tools don’t have access to real-world data in the field. Vexcel MCP bridges that gap, incorporating Vexcel imagery and geospatial data into the AI platforms your teams already use. Users can ask questions in natural language, combine multiple datasets, and get answers without switching between applications.
“More and more people are using AI to answer questions about the physical world, but without trusted context and data, AI can only guess,” said Steve Lombardi, Chief Product Officer at Vexcel. “Vexcel MCP incorporates our imagery and geospatial intelligence into AI workflows, so when someone asks a question about real estate, disaster areas, or transmission lines, the answer is based on real-world data.”
Analyzing real-world locations using AI is now easier and more accurate. As an example, Lombardi explained that someone could ask the AI assistant, “Which of these properties have a garden or greenhouse?” When Vexcel MCP is connected, the model uses the latest Vexcel aerial imagery to inspect each property and responds based on what it sees.

Built on the world’s largest aerial imagery program
Vexcel operates the world’s largest aerial imagery program, with ongoing acquisitions in more than 45 countries and territories.
Vexcel aerial imagery, published in 7.5cm and 15cm resolution, is more detailed and accurate than satellite imagery. Its imagery and data products are aligned to ground control points, timestamped, compliant with ASPRS accuracy standards, and optimized for AI workflows.
Combined with Vexcel’s historical library, organizations can explore, track, and compare locations over time.
