Before you connect
Questions about Nearmap.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can the Nearmap MCP find solar panels?
Yes, this Connector allows your agent to automatically detect and extract vector geometries for solar arrays within a specific area.
How do I check if a property has been surveyed?
You can ask your agent to check the survey history for any specific point or polygon. It will tell you if imagery is available and when it was captured.
Can I see 3D views of buildings?
Yes, you can retrieve oblique imagery from the North, South, East, and West to see building facades and heights in 3D-angled views.
What kind of imagery does Nearmap provide?
It provides world-class high-resolution aerial imagery, including sub-15cm vertical nadir tiles and lean-corrected true ortho layers.
Can I use this for urban planning?
Absolutely. It's designed for urban planners to verify site dimensions and pull topographic elevation data for terrain analysis.
Does this work for insurance claims?
It is widely used by insurance adjusters to audit property conditions and detect roof features without needing to visit every site manually.
How high is the resolution of Nearmap imagery compared to standard satellite maps?
Nearmap provides high-resolution aerial imagery at sub-15cm (approx. 6 inch) Ground Sample Distance (GSD). This is significantly sharper than typical satellite imagery (usually 30cm-50cm), allowing your agent to identify fine site details like roof vents, pavement cracks, or pool conditions.
Can my agent automatically detect solar panels or swimming pools on a property?
Yes. Use the get_ai_detected_features capability. Nearmap's AI analyzes recent surveys to return vector geometries for specific feature classes like 'Solar Panels' or 'Swimming Pools', including confidence thresholds and area measurements.
What is 'Oblique' imagery and how do I access it through the agent?
Oblique imagery is captured at a 45-degree angle rather than straight down. Use the get_oblique_tile capability and specify a direction (North, South, East, West). This allows your agent to audit building facades, structural heights, and side-view property details.
