pystac-ext-mgrs
MGRS extension for PySTAC
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, carries no security vulnerabilities, has low install friction, and provides a straightforward permissive license. Install it if you need to catalog geospatial data using MGRS grid references within a PySTAC workflow; skip it if your data does not require military grid coordinate metadata.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later; pystac-core must be installed as a runtime dependency.
- Low friction install with a single runtime dependency (pystac-core).
- Package is actively maintained with a recent release and supports current Python versions (3.10–3.13).

What it is and what it does
pystac-ext-mgrs is a PySTAC extension package that implements the MGRS (Military Grid Reference System) specification for geospatial data cataloging. It extends PySTAC's core functionality to allow STAC items and collections to include MGRS grid reference metadata—specifically UTM zone, latitude band, and grid square identifiers—making it easier to organize and query raster imagery and other geospatial datasets using military grid coordinates.
The package targets MGRS extension v1.0.0 and maintains version parity with the specification it implements. It depends on pystac-core as its sole runtime dependency, meaning it integrates directly into existing PySTAC workflows without introducing additional system or library requirements. The package is actively maintained, supports Python 3.10 through 3.13, and carries no known security vulnerabilities.
Use it for
- Add MGRS grid coordinates to satellite or aerial imagery catalogs for military or defense applications.
- Organize geospatial datasets by UTM zone and latitude band for efficient spatial indexing.
- Standardize metadata across STAC collections that require military grid reference compliance.
- Query and filter raster data by MGRS grid square in PySTAC-based data discovery systems.
- Integrate MGRS metadata into existing PySTAC workflows without replacing core functionality.
