Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server for searching daily building permits from Tampa Bay, Southwest and Central Florida, with paid per-call lookups settled in USDC.

What you can do
  • Check coverage: list covered cities, permit counts, date range and last update time
  • Preview records: pull three recent permits free to see the record format
  • Search permits: find new permits by trade, job value, date, zip or city, newest first, up to 25 per call
  • Inspect a permit: read one permit with every recorded change to its status, value or issue date
  • Trace addresses and contractors: list all permits at a street address, or all permits a contractor has pulled with total job value and counts by trade
When to use it
Useful when you need Florida building-permit data for lead generation, contractor or property research, or market checks in the covered cities, and are willing to pay per lookup.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no package, environment variable or header is declared. Paid tools require per-call payment in USDC on Base via x402, so a funded wallet or x402-capable client is needed. Network access to the provider's API.
Before you install
Four of six tools cost money per call: search_permits, get_permit, property_history and contractor_history are charged in USDC on Base via x402, so spending is possible without a separate confirmation step. Coverage is limited to Tampa Bay, Southwest and Central Florida. Homeowner names are excluded from the data.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Permit Scouter 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.permitscouter%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
