Satellite land due-diligence: a green/caution/walk-away verdict with cited signals for any parcel.

VerifiedSTDIODesktop onlyLocation & LifestyleData & Analytics

Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant run satellite land due-diligence on a parcel and return a green, caution, or walk-away verdict with cited signals.

What you can do
Exposes one tool, analyze_parcel, which takes a parcel centre as latitude and longitude or a GeoJSON geometry, plus an optional label and a lite or full mode. It returns a plain-text verdict summary listing flagged signals such as flooding, slope and buildability, soil, hazards, and access, along with a link to the full report. Lite mode takes about a minute; full mode produces a deeper multi-year satellite report in roughly three to four minutes.
When to use it
Useful when someone asks an assistant whether a piece of land is worth buying and wants an answer grounded in observed satellite data rather than guesswork. Suited to early due-diligence screening of parcels before commissioning surveys or site visits.
Requirements
Runs locally over stdio, typically via npx from the npm package landbenchmark-mcp, so Node.js is needed. Requires a LandBenchmark API key in TERRAIN_API_KEY and a base URL in TERRAIN_BASE_URL; both are required and there is no default base URL. Network access to the configured host is needed, and the client must be desktop-based.
Before you install
The API key in TERRAIN_API_KEY is sent to the host named in TERRAIN_BASE_URL in an Authorization header, so that host receives the key; the server refuses to start without a base URL and refuses plain http except to localhost. The tool sends parcel coordinates or geometry to a third-party service. Output is informational only and is not a survey, flood determination, or a substitute for on-site inspection and professional advice.

Installation

In SourceWeft

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

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

README

landbenchmark-mcp

An MCP server that lets AI agents run satellite land due-diligence through LandBenchmark. It exposes one tool, analyze_parcel, that returns a green / caution / walk-away verdict with cited signals (flooding, slope & buildability, soil, hazards, access) for any parcel.

Why

When someone asks their AI assistant "is this land any good to buy?", the agent can call LandBenchmark and answer with observed, cited satellite data instead of guessing.

Setup

  1. Get an API key at landbenchmark.com/account → API keys.
  2. Add the server to your MCP client config:
json
{  "mcpServers": {    "terrain": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "landbenchmark-mcp"],      "env": {        "TERRAIN_API_KEY": "tk_live_...",        "TERRAIN_BASE_URL": "https://www.landbenchmark.com"      }    }  }}

Both env vars are required. (TERRAIN_* is the internal engine name — LandBenchmark runs on the Terrain analysis engine.) TERRAIN_BASE_URL has no default on purpose: every request sends your API key to that host in an Authorization header, so the server refuses to start rather than guess where it goes. It also refuses to send a key over plain http:// to anything but localhost.

Works with any MCP-capable client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and agent frameworks.

Tool: analyze_parcel

ParamTypeNotes
lat, lonnumberParcel centre (WGS84). Provide these or geometry.
geometryGeoJSONPolygon or Point (alternative to lat/lon).
labelstringOptional parcel name.
mode"lite" | "full"lite (default) ≈ 1 min; full = deep multi-year satellite report ≈ 3–4 min.

Returns a plain-text verdict summary with the flagged signals and a link to the full report.

Build
