About Zanzibar Buildings (COLA · Building registration numbers)

A BumiAtlas MCP server for researching registered building footprints on Zanzibar’s Unguja and Pemba islands. It looks up buildings by registration number or coordinates and can provide footprint area and map imagery; it does not cover land parcels or mainland Tanzania.

Key features

  1. 01Search by BRN or coordinates
  2. 02Return registered footprint area
  3. 03Show satellite or street-map images
  4. 04Outline nearby buildings with BRN labels

Use cases

  1. 01Locate a registered building by BRN
  2. 02Find buildings around a coordinate
  3. 03View a building and neighbours on a map
  4. 04Check a building’s footprint area

MCP support

Exposes `TZ_building_search` for building records and `TZ_building_image` for satellite or street-map views to MCP clients. Footprint GeoJSON is available on request.

Configuration

Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

From the project README

Zanzibar Buildings & BRN Lookup MCP (Tanzania)

Kiswahili

Connect your AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) to BumiAtlas for Zanzibar property research through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

This listing is a focused entry point for:

  • ~492k building footprints on Unguja and Pemba from the Commission for Lands' (COLA) building register, published on ZanSDI
  • Building lookup by building registration number (BRN, 120G40004) or coordinates
  • Registered footprint area
  • Satellite and street map images of a building and its neighbours, labelled by BRN

Buildings, not land parcels: Zanzibar's parcels aren't published as data, and mainland Tanzania isn't covered. No owners or occupants.

Connect

https://bumiatlas.com/mcp/tanzania

Add it as a custom connector in any MCP client and sign in with Google. Tools, examples and data notes: bumiatlas.com/mcp-docs/tanzania.

  • Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste the URL, then Connect.
  • ChatGPT: Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced → Developer mode, then Create with the URL and OAuth authentication.

Tools

ToolDescription
TZ_building_searchFind buildings by BRN or latitude, longitude; each result is the whole record, the footprint as GeoJSON on request
TZ_building_imageSatellite or street map image of a building or point, with every footprint in view outlined and labelled with its BRN

Example prompts

  • "Which building is at -5.17008, 39.79258?"
  • "Look up building 92H20040 and show it on satellite imagery."
  • "Show the buildings around this point."
  • "How large is this building's footprint?"

Data source

Buildings © Commission for Lands, Zanzibar (COLA), via ZanSDI. A copy of public data for research, not a legal record.

Kiswahili

Unganisha msaidizi wako wa AI (Claude, ChatGPT au Cursor) na BumiAtlas kupitia Model Context Protocol (MCP) kutafiti majengo ya Zanzibar.

  • Takriban majengo 492,000 ya Unguja na Pemba kutoka Kamisheni ya Ardhi (COLA)
  • Tafuta kwa namba ya usajili wa jengo (BRN, 120G40004) au kwa viwianishi (latitudo, longitudo)
  • Picha za setilaiti na ramani za jengo na majengo jirani

Hakuna majina ya wamiliki wala wakazi.

Kuunganisha: ongeza https://bumiatlas.com/mcp/tanzania kama custom connector kwenye MCP client yako na uingie kwa Google. Majina ya zana ni ya Kiingereza, lakini msaidizi anaweza kujibu kwa Kiswahili.

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.
