About Landprice
Landprice is an MCP server for querying official Japanese land-price data published by MLIT. It returns survey points for a location and year, including price changes and nearby property details.
Key features
- 01Query official Japanese land-price points
- 02Filter by coordinates and year
- 03Get price per square metre and annual change
- 04View address, use category, and nearest station
Use cases
- 01Check official land prices at a location in Japan
- 02Compare land-price changes across years
MCP support
It exposes the `landprice_points` tool to MCP clients through Pipeworx or as a standalone local stdio MCP server.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMEmcp-landprice
Land Price Japan MCP — official Japanese land prices (地価公示 / 地価調査) from MLIT's 不動産情報ライブラリ (Real Estate Information Library).
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1882+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
landprice_points | Official Japanese land prices — the government's 地価公示 (national standard land prices, 1995+) and 地価調査 (prefectural survey, 1997+) — from MLIT's 不動産情報ライブラリ. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for "official land price in ", "地価", appraised price per square metre at a point in Japan. Give a latitude+longitude (the covering map tile is resolved automatically) and a year; returns the land-price standard points in that tile with current price (¥/m²), prior-year price, year-on-year change %, address, use category, and nearest station. For finer/wider coverage adjust zoom (13-15), or pass z/x/y directly. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"landprice": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/landprice/mcp"
}
}
}
What this endpoint actually serves
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/landprice/mcp returns the tools in the table
above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx,
discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the
gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and
is the authoritative answer for a given day.
This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1882+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx
reaches all of them from either one.
No MCP client? Call it over HTTP
curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/landprice_points \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"lat":35.681,"lon":139.767,"year":2024}'
No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/landprice_points. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.
Standalone (no gateway account)
This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:
{
"mcpServers": {
"landprice": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-landprice"]
}
}
}
Or run it directly to confirm it starts:
npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-landprice
It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call
for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway
connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Landprice data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

New to MCP?
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.
