What is the Readypermit MCP MCP server?

Connect Readypermit MCP to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. ReadyPermit MCP Server — AI-powered property zoning, buildability & ADU eligibility analysis for any U.S. address. Use with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. The readypermit mcp mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

This MCP server connects AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf) to ReadyPermit — instant property intelligence powered by 20+ government data sources.

ReadyPermit replaces $2,000-$4,500 in zoning consultant fees with an instant Buildability Report:

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • analyze_property — Full zoning & buildability analysis for any U.S. address
  • check_adu_eligibility — ADU (accessory dwelling unit) eligibility check
  • check_flood_risk — FEMA flood zone & environmental risk assessment
  • compare_parcels — Side-by-side comparison of 2-5 properties
  • what_can_i_build — Answer "what can I build here?" for any property
  • Cursor — Settings > Features > MCP > Add Server: - Name: readypermit - Command: npx -y readypermit-mcp

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: MAPBOX_TOKEN, READYPERMIT_API_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Installation

The server ships on npm as readypermit-mcp, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.

Where it fits

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Readypermit MCP's toolset — analyze_property, check_adu_eligibility, check_flood_risk and 3 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by galax-ai; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
