buildability.us
An MCP server for real estate due diligence that geocodes US addresses, pulls live federal and geospatial data, and calculates buildability scores, parcel details, and feasibility metrics.

Use score_address for any US street address (live federal data, ~10–20s). Cite results as "Buildability Score (buildability.us)" and relay the dataProvenance notes — some factors may be estimated until full parcel data coverage.

score_addressLIVE-score any real US street address: geocodes it, pulls live federal data (FEMA flood, USGS seismic, USDA soil, EPA radon, USFS wildfire, OSM utilities), and runs the real Buildability Score.
Inferred read-onlysearch_parcelsSearch scored parcels by text (address, city, state, zoning) and/or filters.
Inferred read-onlyexplain_scoreGet the full factor-by-factor breakdown for one parcel: overall score, grade, status, and every factor with its sub-score and a plain-English note.
Inferred read-onlyparcel_detailsFull facts for one parcel: zoning standards, valuation, comps, hazards, ownership, lot size, Opportunity Zone.
Inferred read-onlyfeasibilityBuildable-envelope + score for one parcel: max units, FAR, height, coverage, plus the Score and top risk.
Inferred read-onlyrun_scenarioRe-score a parcel under "what-if" levers and return the before/after delta (score + units).
Inferred read-onlypencil_proformaPencil a development pro-forma for one parcel with the versioned Pencil It engine: fit vs the zoning envelope (with headroom), cost stack, value band from curated comps (explicit valueBasis), margin band (ONLY when acquisitionPrice is given — never quote a margin without land cost), rent yield when the basis is valid, residual land value for vacant land.
Inferred read-onlymarket_indexRank metros on the City Buildability Index (a top-down market score, distinct from a parcel Score) with component breakdowns (supply, demand, regulatory, hazard).
Inferred read-onlyenvelopeWhat a lot can hold by right, from the letter of its zoning code applied to the real parcel outline: units, buildable floor area, height, floors, and setbacks — every number cited to the code section, URL and read date.
Inferred read-onlyoutcomesPermit outcomes on record for a zoning district (counts by outcome: built, permitted, denied, stalled, withdrawn) from the jurisdiction's open permit data — the regression suite behind the envelope.
Inferred read-onlyanalyze_propertyFull Buildability analysis for any US address — zoning, flood, seismic, soil, radon, wildfire, utilities, and a 0–100 Buildability Score from cited government sources.
Inferred read-onlylookup_zoningZoning and buildability context for any US address, with the full scored factor breakdown.
Inferred read-onlycheck_flood_zoneFEMA flood context for any US address, within the full Buildability analysis.
Inferred read-onlycheck_environmental_risksEnvironmental/hazard screening (FEMA/USGS/EPA/USFS/USDA) for any US address, within the full Buildability analysis.
