A BumiAtlas MCP server for researching indexed Zambian state-cadastre lots and customary/village records. It searches by registry lot key or coordinates and returns representative points and, for state lots, extents; records do not include boundaries or ownership details.
Key features
- 01Search by lot key or coordinates
- 02Return lot points and state-lot extents
- 03Cover state and customary/village records
Use cases
- 01Locate a lot by its registry key
- 02Find lots near given coordinates
- 03Check whether a point falls within a state-lot extent

Details
From the project READMEZambia Land Lots & Lot Number Lookup MCP
Connect your AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) to BumiAtlas for Zambian land research through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
This listing is a focused entry point for:
- ~297k state-cadastre lots and ~34k customary/village records from the Ministry of Lands' NSDI lot locator
- Lot lookup by lot key as the registry writes it (
LUS/2675,F/8178/34) or coordinates - Each lot's representative point and, for state lots, its bounding extent
Index records only: there are no parcel boundaries, owners, titles, areas or land use.

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.
