Do I need an API key to use this Amsterdam data?

No. Vinkius hosts the MCP and manages all connections, so you can use it without your own API keys.

Which registers does this MCP access?

It accesses the BAG address register, the WOZ property register, the building (panden) layer, and the monuments register.

Can I get the geographic shape of a building?

Yes. The search_buildings and get_building capabilities provide polygon geometry for buildings.

What kind of monument information is available?

You can find the status (such as Rijksmonument), designation date, architect, and original function of protected monuments.

Is this data official?

Yes. The data is pulled directly from the official registers maintained by the City of Amsterdam.

Do I need an API key?

No. The bag, woz and monumenten services of the city's DSO open-data platform are public (OPENBAAR) and work without credentials.

What is the difference between BAG and WOZ?

BAG is the national address register: it holds addresses (nummeraanduidingen), buildings (panden) and dwellings. WOZ is the property register: it holds valuation records per property object, with kind and use classifications. Use BAG to locate an address or building, WOZ to look up a property record.

What monument statuses are there?

Monuments carry a status such as Rijksmonument (national monument) or Stadsmonument (city monument). find_monuments can filter by status, type (e.g. Pand), and also by under-review flag.

Are building geometries usable for mapping?

Yes. Building (panden) records include polygon geometry in EPSG:28999 (RD New). Convert to WGS84 for plotting on standard world maps.

MCP VERIFIED · PRODUCTION READY · VINKIUS GUARANTEED

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

How Vinkius works: one connection, every tool, in any AI

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

One connector, every AI

City of Amsterdam works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put City of Amsterdam to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
