From the project READMEBotswana Land Plots & Gaborone Lot Lookup MCP
Connect your AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) to BumiAtlas for Botswana land research through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
This listing is a focused entry point for:
- ~865k plots nationwide from the LAPCAS land administration project, each with its plot number and, on about a third, the village or town
- The City of Gaborone's ~52k lots, with survey record, approved survey diagram and township extension
- Plot lookup by number and village (
plot 6121 Ghanzi), Gaborone lot number (35571,2881-KO), or coordinates - Satellite and street map images of a plot and its neighbours, labelled by plot number
Plots have no owner, tenure (tribal, state or freehold) or price information.

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.
