​
What each component does

The Wherobots VS Code Extension turns Code OSS editors into a geospatial workspace with notebook development, job submission, data browsing, and workspace management. In VS Code, it also automatically configures the MCP Server and includes Agent Skills.

​
Component Overview

Wherobots’ Agentic Tools consist of the following components that work together to provide our agentic experience:
Connects your AI assistant to Wherobots Cloud for catalog exploration, Spatial SQL generation, and query execution.
Gives your AI assistant domain-specific Wherobots knowledge for more accurate commands and fewer errors.
Wraps the full Wherobots API into a single binary for job submission, log streaming, and automation.

​
Why use Wherobots’ agentic tools?

Wherobots’ agentic tools connect your AI assistant to Wherobots Cloud and your local development environment so you can interact with your spatial data, catalogs, and jobs in a more intuitive way.
The MCP Server connects your AI assistant to Wherobots Cloud so you can browse catalogs, databases, and table schemas (including Overture Maps and your own datasets) by asking questions in plain language instead of navigating the console.
Describe a geospatial task (e.g. “find buildings within 500m of this point”) and the MCP Server returns optimized Spatial SQL using WherobotsDB’s ST functions, spatial joins, and indexing patterns.
Use the CLI or the extension to submit Spark job runs, stream logs in real time, check resource metrics, and cancel jobs without leaving your editor or terminal.
Agent Skills teach your AI assistant Wherobots-specific APIs, query patterns, and workflow sequences so it produces correct wherobots CLI commands, valid MCP tool calls, and accurate notebook code on the first try.

​
Setup by tool

Every supported editor and terminal gets the same AI-assisted job submission and MCP features. What differs is how the MCP Server and Agent Skills are installed: the Wherobots extension configures them automatically in VS Code, while other tools require a one-time manual setup.
