PlaceDossier MCP

An MCP server that provides public records for British Columbia properties, including zoning, hazards, water and septic data, access, and planned developments. It allows agents to find parcels and generate detailed reports based on address, PID, or legal description.

Endpoint and access

Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Public-record facts about one titled lot in British Columbia (a home, cottage or piece of land), from government open data, each with its source, licence and date: zoning and what the rules allow, buildable area, farmland reserve, floodplain, wildfire, hazards, water, wells and septic, road access, services, what's planned nearby, climate, internet, tax. Use find_parcel to get a lot's PID, then parcel_report. Statuses are facts, never a score. Inferred lines say so and unclear ones read "unclear". Tell users to confirm with the local government or a professional, and link them to the url in each answer.

find_parcel — Find a lot in British Columbia

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-only

Find the titled lot (ParcelMap BC parcel) for a BC street address, a PID, the plan in a legal description ("Lot 5, Plan KAP12345", or the old form with its land district, "KDYD, Plan 1234"), or a point. Returns each lot's PID (for parcel_report), plan, mapped area and report page. Only an exact civic address match is one lot; a street, block or point between lots lists the lots around the spot, nearest first, and a plan lists its lots (the open parcel map carries no lot numbers, so pick by plan and size, or on the page).

parcel_report — A BC lot's public-record report

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-only

One lot's report by PID: for each section a status (flag = look into, clear = nothing to flag, info = for reference, gap = not covered here, error = not available yet) and a one-line answer; for the sections named, also the facts behind it, notes, and sources with licences. Sections: zoning, buildable, sun, alr, soil, flood, fire, evac, seismic, landslides, radon, fcsi, access, water, lake, minerals, habitat, nextdoor, noise, wells, septic, services, internet, climate, svt, tax, crime (the lake section only beside a sampled lake). Zoning rules are our dated summary of the bylaw. A lot nobody has looked up yet takes 10 to 20 seconds to build. No scores, valuations or owner names.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.

Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http placedossier-mcp https://placedossier.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).

Codex configuration

codex mcp add placedossier-mcp --url https://placedossier.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable placedossier-mcp in your MCP settings.
