For AI agents

Build with your AI agent on Cadastre

Cadastre is the data source for real-estate data, except listings: public market, labor, demographic, infrastructure, hazard and health data for every U.S. metro area, each figure with its source. Connect your agent once and ask in plain words.

One command. No sign-up for the public data; sign in for higher limits.

MCP

Add the remote MCP server to Claude Code; no sign-in needed. Every other agent is in the directory below.

claude mcp add --transport http cadastre https://getcadastre.com/mcp

Prompt

Paste into an agent that can add an MCP server itself.

text

Connect to Cadastre's MCP server at https://getcadastre.com/mcp and find metros with population over 500K, manufacturing share of GDP over 8% and unemployment under 5.5%. Rank them on manufacturing share and cite the sources.

CLI

Install the cadastre command line (no sign-in needed; cadastre login for higher limits); cadastre mcp add prints your agent's setup (with --write, it makes it). See the CLI docs.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/waratuman/cadastre-cli/main/install.sh | sh
cadastre metros --state TX
cadastre mcp add claude-code

What agents can do with Cadastre

Screen every US metro

Apply requirements such as population, manufacturing share, unemployment and industrial power price to all 393 metro areas, and see how many each one leaves.

POST /api/v1/screen

Rank on weighted criteria

Score and rank the survivors on the measures that matter, with each criterion's value, score and contribution, as the app ranks them.

POST /api/v1/rank

Read a metro's profile

Every measure served for one metro, with its vintage and whether Cadastre computed it from county figures.

GET /api/v1/metros/{ref}

Compare metros

Up to 25 metros side by side on up to 50 measures, or on the register's standard figures.

GET /api/v1/metros/compare

Find the right measure

Search the measures by name, label or unit, and read each dataset's publisher, licence, vintages and geographies.

GET /api/v1/measures

Carry the sources

Every answer lists the credit, licence and retrieval date its sources require, so the agent can cite them where the figures go.

GET /api/v1/datasets

Not available

Listings. Cadastre does not carry property listings.
Parcels. The launch is metro-level; parcel data is not available yet.
Geometry. Answers carry names and codes, never boundaries, points or lines.
Restricted sources. Sources whose terms do not allow it (County Health Rankings, the HIFLD archive, OpenStreetMap-derived values) are not served.

Connect in a minute

The API and the MCP server are in beta and free while they are, with no account needed for the public datasets. Sign in for higher limits, with API access turned on for the account: write to support@getcadastre.com to ask for it. Every answer carries the credit its sources require.
