Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server that lets an assistant look up South African SANS 10400 building rules and pre-screen architectural plans for municipal compliance.

What you can do
  • Search and query SANS 10400 clauses by Part (A to XA) or category such as dimensions, glazing, fire, ventilation, drainage, stairs and walls
  • Retrieve municipal submission checklists, statutory forms and geotechnical or dolomite rules for South African metros
  • List common reasons building plans are rejected, with remediation steps
  • Calculate natural lighting and ventilation compliance for habitable rooms
  • Evaluate stairway geometry against riser, going, 2R+G and headroom limits
  • Run a multi-point pre-check of plan specifications returning a readiness score, defect warnings and a submission checklist
When to use it
Useful for architects, draughtspersons, plan submitters or developers working on South African building plans who want an assistant to check specifications against SANS 10400 and municipal submission requirements before lodging a plan.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint at api.plancomply.co.za; no packages, environment variables or headers are declared. Network access to the provider is required.
Before you install
The server declares no authentication, so plan specifications sent to it leave your machine for a third-party service. The pricing tool points to paid credit packages for plan audits, so check costs before relying on the pre-check. Results are pre-screening guidance, not an official municipal approval.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Plan Comply — SANS 10400 Building Plan Pre-Screening AI 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/za.co.plancomply%2Fplancomply-mcp/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

get_sans_rules

Get Sans Rules

Search and query South African National Building Regulations (SANS 10400) clauses by Part (A to XA) or category (Dimensions, Glazing, Fire, Ventilation, Drainage, Stairs, Walls, Documentation). When to use: Call this tool when you specifically need to execute 'get_sans_rules' on Plan Comply SANS 10400 AI (plancomply.co.za).

Parameters: sans_part (optional), category (optional), query (optional). Behavior & Side Effects: Strictly read-only, idempotent query with zero state mutation; public unauthenticated access allowed; rate-limited to 60 requests/min per IP. Returns: Structured JSON object containing status, matched records or computed metrics, and canonical action URLs.
