Announcing ForgeGIS™, our flagship release — a GPU-accelerated geospatial library and native MCP server, written entirely in Java.
220 user-facing operations across 11 categories. 218 callable by AI agents through a native MCP server.
ForgeGIS runs raster, vector, hydrology, visibility, spectral, ML, and point-cloud workloads on the GPU through Java-side compute kernels — and exposes 218 of its 220 operations to AI agents through a native Model Context Protocol server. Distributed as pure-Java Maven artifacts with no first-party native code, no GDAL native bindings, and no separate native install step — GPU dispatch is via the JOCL OpenCL bindings (JNI bridge bundled in the JOCL JAR).
As of May 2026, the only commercially-supported GPU-accelerated geospatial MCP server we have been able to identify. Watch the unedited 52-op demonstration vs GDAL — methodology biased against us. →Seaglass Foundry builds a small number of things, carefully — GPU-accelerated developer libraries for technical workloads where speed and correctness both matter. Our two shipping products are ForgeGIS (geospatial compute, our flagship) and SwingToPDF™ (vector PDF output from Java Swing). We also maintain Worldwind Reforged, a community modernization of NASA's WorldWind — released as open source under our Cannonforge banner to give back to the WorldWind community.
Our other shipping library, alongside ForgeGIS.
Worldwind Reforged is our modernization of NASA's WorldWind — not a commercial product we ship, but a community contribution maintained under our Cannonforge banner. We modernized the toolkit for Java 17+, shader-based rendering, and a clean Maven build, then released the work openly so the WorldWind community can keep building on it.
A modernized Java 17+ build of NASA WorldWind, given back to the community
Shader-based rendering, GPU-accelerated surface shapes, full Maven build, and backwards compatibility with the original WorldWind Java API — a drop-in modernization for anyone still building on WorldWind. Source and releases on GitHub under our Cannonforge banner.
