Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server for looking up South African Surveyor-General cadastral parcels by erf number, farm name, SG key or coordinates, with map images.

What you can do
  • Search cadastral parcels by erf number and registration region, parent farm name, PRCL_KEY or SG id, or latitude/longitude, returning the full record and optionally the boundary as GeoJSON.
  • Retrieve parcel details such as CSG label, deed diagram, survey record, sectional title references, status codes and computed area.
  • Render satellite or street map images of a parcel or point, with parcels in view outlined and labelled by CSG label.
When to use it
Useful for land research in South Africa: identifying which parcel sits at a coordinate, resolving an erf or farm portion reference, or finding parent farms by name and viewing them on imagery.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint added as a custom connector in an MCP client; OAuth sign-in with a Google account is required. No local runtime, packages or environment variables.
Before you install
Parcels contain surveyed boundaries only, with no owner, title deed or value, and the data is a copy of public data for research rather than a legal land record. Sign-in uses a Google account through OAuth.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open South Africa Cadastral Parcels (Surveyor-General · Erven & Farms) in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. 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/io.github.BumiAtlas%2Fsouthafrica-cadastral-parcels/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

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

South Africa Cadastral Parcels & Erf Lookup MCP

Connect your AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) to BumiAtlas for South African land research through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

This listing is a focused entry point for:

  • All ~9.1M surveyed parcels from the Chief Surveyor-General's national cadastre: erven, farm portions, parent farms, agricultural holdings and public places
  • Parcel lookup by number and registration region (erf 13583 East London, portion 11 of 930 Cape), parent farm name, SG key, or coordinates
  • CSG label (RE/13583), deed diagram, survey record and sectional title references, status codes and computed area
  • Satellite and street map images of a parcel and its neighbours, labelled by CSG label

Parcels have no owner, title deed or value: the cadastre is surveyed boundaries only.

Connect

https://bumiatlas.com/mcp/southafrica
