Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote BumiAtlas server for looking up Zanzibar building footprints from the COLA register by building registration number or coordinates.

What you can do
  • Find buildings by building registration number or latitude/longitude, returning the full record and optionally the footprint as GeoJSON
  • Get satellite or street map images of a building or point, with footprints in view outlined and labelled by registration number
  • Report registered footprint area for a building
  • Answer questions about which building sits at a given point and which buildings are nearby
When to use it
Useful for property research, site identification or map-based questions about buildings on Unguja and Pemba in Zanzibar, where you need to match a registration number or coordinates to a footprint and see it on imagery.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint added as a custom connector in an MCP client; sign-in with a Google account via OAuth is required. No local runtime or API key is needed.
Before you install
Sign-in is through Google OAuth, so the connector is tied to that account. Data is a copy of public COLA/ZanSDI data for research, not a legal record; it covers buildings only, not land parcels, excludes mainland Tanzania, and contains no owner or occupant names.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Zanzibar Buildings (COLA · Building registration numbers) 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%2Fzanzibar-buildings/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.

README

Zanzibar Buildings & BRN Lookup MCP (Tanzania)

Kiswahili

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

This listing is a focused entry point for:

  • ~492k building footprints on Unguja and Pemba from the Commission for Lands' (COLA) building register, published on ZanSDI
  • Building lookup by building registration number (BRN, 120G40004) or coordinates
  • Registered footprint area
  • Satellite and street map images of a building and its neighbours, labelled by BRN

Buildings, not land parcels: Zanzibar's parcels aren't published as data, and mainland Tanzania isn't covered. No owners or occupants.

Connect

https://bumiatlas.com/mcp/tanzania

Add it as a custom connector in any MCP client and sign in with Google. Tools, examples and data notes: bumiatlas.com/mcp-docs/tanzania.

  • Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste the URL, then Connect.
  • ChatGPT: Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced → Developer mode, then Create with the URL and OAuth authentication.

Tools

ToolDescription
TZ_building_searchFind buildings by BRN or latitude, longitude; each result is the whole record, the footprint as GeoJSON on request
TZ_building_imageSatellite or street map image of a building or point, with every footprint in view outlined and labelled with its BRN

Example prompts

  • "Which building is at -5.17008, 39.79258?"
  • "Look up building 92H20040 and show it on satellite imagery."
  • "Show the buildings around this point."
  • "How large is this building's footprint?"

Data source

Buildings © Commission for Lands, Zanzibar (COLA), via ZanSDI. A copy of public data for research, not a legal record.

Kiswahili

Unganisha msaidizi wako wa AI (Claude, ChatGPT au Cursor) na BumiAtlas kupitia Model Context Protocol (MCP) kutafiti majengo ya Zanzibar.

  • Takriban majengo 492,000 ya Unguja na Pemba kutoka Kamisheni ya Ardhi (COLA)
  • Tafuta kwa namba ya usajili wa jengo (BRN, 120G40004) au kwa viwianishi (latitudo, longitudo)
  • Picha za setilaiti na ramani za jengo na majengo jirani

Hakuna majina ya wamiliki wala wakazi.

Kuunganisha: ongeza https://bumiatlas.com/mcp/tanzania kama custom connector kwenye MCP client yako na uingie kwa Google. Majina ya zana ni ya Kiingereza, lakini msaidizi anaweza kujibu kwa Kiswahili.
