What It Does

When an AI assistant user asks about property zoning, ADUs, flood risk, or buildability, the MCP tools:

  1. Geocode the address via Mapbox
  2. Return a structured property preview with key data points
  3. Generate a deep link to the full Buildability™ Report

Example Prompts

  • "Can I build an ADU at 742 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield, IL?"
  • "What's the zoning for 123 Main St, Austin, TX?"
  • "Is my property in a flood zone? 456 Oak Ave, Miami, FL"
  • "Compare these 3 investment properties for buildability"
  • "What can I build on my lot at 789 Pine St, Denver, CO?"

About Buildability™

Buildability™ replaces $2,000-$4,500 in zoning consultant fees with an instant Buildability™ Report:

  • Buildability™ Score (0-100, letter-graded)
  • Zoning analysis (FAR, setbacks, height limits, permitted uses)
  • ADU eligibility and permit pathway
  • Environmental risk (FEMA, EPA, wildfire, seismic)
  • Comparable sales and market position

Covers all 50 U.S. states, 3,100+ counties. Data from 20+ government sources.

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.
