# LandTech MCP > LandTech MCP connects property intelligence right into your agent's chat window. It lets you research land ownership, track zoning rules, and assess development viability across specific sites using geospatial data. Stop piecing together reports from three different government websites; find site constraints, planning history, and market comps instantly. ## Overview - **Category:** real-estate - **Price:** Free - **Tags:** geospatial-intelligence, land-search, property-development, planning-applications, ownership-records, site-assessment ## Description This MCP gives your AI client deep access to property intelligence. You can ask questions about a piece of land—say, its ownership status or what the local zoning mandates—and get real data back immediately. It pulls together records you’d usually find spread across municipal databases: environmental risk reports, current development applications, and title deeds. When you connect this through Vinkius, your agent treats it like one single source of truth. You can run a full viability check on a site by combining ownership analysis with planning policy checks in natural conversation. ## Tools ### get_api_status Checks if your connection to LandTech is active and working. ### get_price_comparables Searches for sales data on similar properties to establish a market value range. ### get_site_constraints Runs a risk assessment on a site, identifying environmental issues like flood zones or protected species areas. ### get_real_estate_market_data Provides broad regional insights into housing trends and general real estate performance. ### get_planning_details Gets specific details on a particular planning application, like its status or required permits. ### get_planning_policy Retrieves the actual zoning and development policy documents that apply to an area. ### get_building_data Pulls specific, current property-level information for a given address. ### get_ownership_title Retrieves the official legal documents detailing who owns the land and when that ownership was established. ### list_local_authority_plans Lists all regional planning policies and regulations from the governing local authority. ### list_saved_sites Retrieves a list of development sites you've previously saved or flagged for review. ### search_land_parcels Searches the entire database to find undeveloped land matching criteria like size and zoning type. ### search_urban_planning Finds recent or pending planning applications filed in a specific geographic area. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Search for development sites over 2 acres in London with residential zoning. ``` **Response:** ``` 12 sites found (>2 acres, residential zoning, London).

They start by using search_land_parcels, then run get_site_constraints to check contamination risk. Finally, they use get_planning_details to see if the local authority has approved mixed-use zoning for that specific area. ### Quickly valuing a potential listing An estate agent needs an immediate valuation on a unique property. They run get_price_comparables using the address, then check get_ownership_title to confirm current title holders and tax status before advising the seller. ### Researching zoning changes in a growing neighborhood A planner wants to know if an area is ripe for change. They use list_local_authority_plans to see general policy, then run search_urban_planning to gauge the current volume and type of pending applications, signaling market interest. ### Verifying a property's development history A client is buying land that was previously used for farming. The agent uses get_building_data on the site, followed by checking get_planning_policy to see if any historical building restrictions or covenants were placed on the title. ## Benefits - Stop guessing on value. Use get_price_comparables to instantly benchmark a site's worth against recent local sales, giving you a solid financial baseline. - Avoid costly surprises. Running get_site_constraints upfront flags environmental risks—like flood zones or protected habitats—before your plans are even drawn up. - Know the rules before you start building. You can use list_local_authority_plans to view all current regional policies, eliminating guesswork about zoning compliance. - Track development progress without calling anyone. Use search_urban_planning and get_planning_details to see if a proposed project has pending applications or approvals. - Find what you're looking for in minutes. Instead of sifting through county maps, use search_land_parcels to filter thousands of plots by exact criteria (acreage, zoning). - Understand the legal history immediately. get_ownership_title gives you instant access to title deeds and previous owners, saving days of archival research. ## How It Works The bottom line is: instead of opening ten browser tabs, you ask one question and get a synthesized report. 1. Subscribe to the LandTech MCP and provide your API key. 2. Ask your AI client a direct question, like 'Show me development sites near X with Y zoning.' 3. The system calls the necessary internal tools and returns structured data (e.g., list_saved_sites) that your agent summarizes for you. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Can I search for land parcels and development sites?** Yes. Search parcels by location, size, zoning, and constraints. Results include ownership, planning history, and environmental data. **How does LandTech authentication work?** LandTech uses a custom **X-API-Key** header (not Bearer) for all requests against `app.land.tech/api`. **Can I track planning applications?** Yes. Browse planning applications with status, decision dates, and details. Monitor new submissions and decisions in any area. **How does the tool `get_site_constraints` check for development risks?** It pulls comprehensive data on environmental issues, including flood risk and protected areas. This lets you immediately see if a potential site has major limitations or necessary mitigation steps before you move forward with planning. **What does the tool `get_ownership_title` provide about property history?** It gives a full, verifiable record of title information. You can track previous ownership changes and key transfer dates, which is critical for verifying legal standing and rights on the land. **Can I use `get_price_comparables` to estimate a site's current value?** Yes, this tool finds recent sales of similar properties in your target area. It provides solid market context by showing comparable sales data and helping you set realistic valuation expectations. **How do I check regional rules using `list_local_authority_plans`?** The tool compiles the official, current local government plans for any specific region. This gives you an overview of the overarching policies and guidelines that govern all development within that area. **What type of detailed information does `get_building_data` retrieve?** It retrieves specific, physical details about a property's current structure. You get measurements, building materials, and structural data—information beyond just ownership or zoning.
