Bhutan Land Plots & Thram (NLCS cadastre)
RemoteAbout Bhutan Land Plots & Thram (NLCS cadastre)
Bhutan Land Plots provides MCP access to NLCS cadastral plots for land research in Bhutan. Searches can use plot IDs, thram numbers, or coordinates, and records include land classifications where available; attributed data covers only six dzongkhags so far.
Key features
- 01Search by plot ID, thram, or coordinates
- 02View land type, class, and ownership type
- 03Check recorded area and Rural/Urban status
- 04View satellite or street map images
- 05Request plot boundaries as GeoJSON
Use cases
- 01Look up a plot by thram number and administrative area
- 02Check a plot’s land type and recorded ownership type
- 03View a plot and its neighbouring plots on a map
MCP support
Exposes plot-search and plot-image tools to MCP clients through the BumiAtlas endpoint. Google sign-in is required.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMEBhutan Land Plots & Thram MCP (NLCS cadastre)
Connect your AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) to BumiAtlas for Bhutanese land research through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
This listing is a focused entry point for:
- Bhutan's cadastral plots from the National Land Commission Secretariat (NLCS) on the NSDI portal: ~238k national plot boundaries and the attributed cadastre
- Plot lookup by plotid ("GNG-2522", "BHU-2832"), by thram (land record) number within a dzongkhag and gewog, or by coordinates
- Land type (Chhuzhing wetland, Kamzhing dryland, Residential Land, orchards such as Cardamom or Oranges), land class, ownership type (family, individual, government, religious, community, state land), Rural/Urban and the recorded area in acres
- State land surrendered to the government or on lease, and National Housing Development Corporation (NHDCL) plots
- Satellite and street map images of a plot and its neighbours, labelled by plotid
The attributed cadastre is loaded for 6 of 20 dzongkhags so far (Sarpang, Gelephu, Dagana, Tsirang, Trongsa, Zhemgang); elsewhere a plot has its boundary and area only.

Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
BT_plot_search | Find plots by plotid, thram number (with dzongkhag/gewog), NHDCL plot or LUC number, or latitude, longitude; each result is the whole record across the NLCS layers, with the boundary as GeoJSON on request |
BT_plot_image | Satellite or street map image of a plot or point, with every plot in view outlined and labelled with its plotid |
Example prompts
- "Which plot is at 26.91303, 90.45241 in Sarpang? What land type and class is it?"
- "Show me the plots of thram 651 in Karmaling gewog, Dagana."
- "Look up plot BHU-2832 and show it on satellite imagery with its neighbours."
- "Is this plot private land or state land? Has any of it been surrendered?"
- "How big is plot TOM-3171 in acres and decimals?"

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
