Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server for daily US building permit data from 30 cities and counties, with free counts and per-call paid record lookups in USDC.

What you can do
  • Check coverage: list covered cities and counties, permit categories and prices, and sample three real records for free.
  • Count and profile permits: counts by category over 1-90 days, daily trends, busiest cities and zip codes, and match counts before paying.
  • Search issued permits with address, type, description, contractor, job value and date filters, sorted newest, by value or urgency.
  • Look up every known permit at a street address, pull a weekly report for one area, and rank the busiest contractors with job value and phone where published.
When to use it
Useful for construction, real estate, insurance or contractor research where an assistant needs recent permit activity, contractor rankings or address-level permit history for covered US areas. The free tools let you gauge coverage and volume before spending on records.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no local package or runtime. No account, API key or headers are declared. Paid tools require USDC payments over x402 on Base, Solana, Polygon or Arbitrum, so a compatible wallet and funds are needed.
Before you install
Four tools cost money per call in USDC (search_permits, permit_history_for_address, weekly_permit_report, top_contractors); no charge applies when nothing matches. Payments are made from a crypto wallet, so spending limits and wallet keys should be controlled. Results include contractor names and business phone numbers where cities publish them.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open PermitInfoBroker in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.permitinfobroker%2Fpermits/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows
