What it does
Provides access to San Francisco Peninsula building permits and parcel buildability data through Claude or other MCP agents. It answers questions about permitted construction, SB 9 splitting eligibility, ADU feasibility, redevelopment potential, market signals, and property intelligence for real estate professionals and developers.
- Search for construction permits issued at specific addresses or in cities to understand project history and valuation.
- Identify residential properties eligible for SB 9 splits or duplexing, and understand what prevents ineligible parcels from qualifying.
- Find parcels with room for accessory dwelling units and determine how many units or square footage they could accommodate.

Before you enable it
An MCP server runs with whatever access you give it. Start with a development account rather than production, and check which tools the server exposes before you let an agent call them unattended.
