Dubai Land

@pipeworx/dubai-land

Dubai real-estate data from the Dubai Land Department — registered sale, mortgage and gift transactions, Ejari rental contracts, official valuations, development projects, land parcels, buildings, and the licensed broker and developer registers.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1878+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Tools

• dld_search_transactions(from_date, to_date, ...) — property transactions with transaction value, procedure, district, project, property type, room count and nearest metro/mall/landmark. Answers "what did this kind of property sell for in Dubai this month".
• dld_search_rents(from_date, to_date, ...) — Ejari-registered rental contracts with contract and annualised amounts, start/end dates, district and property size. Answers "what is the going rent".
• dld_search_valuations(from_date, to_date, ...) — official DLD valuations with appraised total value, actual area and property sub-type.
• dld_search_projects(from_date, to_date, date_type, ...) — registered development projects with developer, status, percent complete and dates.
• dld_search_lands(...) — registered land parcels with parcel/land number, district, zone, land type, area and project.
• dld_search_buildings(...) — registered buildings with building number, floors, rooms, unit counts, area, district and project.
• dld_list_brokers(...) — the licensed broker register: broker number and name, licence dates, brokerage office and the office phone the register publishes.
• dld_list_developers(from_date, to_date, ...) — the registered developer list with licence source and dates.
• dld_list_areas() — the 437 Dubai area (district) names in English and Arabic with their AREA_ID codes.

Every search tool takes limit (1-200, default 25), offset, and a sort of the form {COLUMN}_ASC / {COLUMN}_DESC using any column name from the rows (e.g. TRANS_VALUE_DESC). Each result carries total, the size of the whole matching set, so offset can page through it.

Auth

Keyless. No account, no registration, no quota — this is the same backend the department's own public "Real Estate Data" search pages call.

What the next person would otherwise rediscover

Every declared parameter must be present in the body, even when unset. An omitted key is not a default — the gateway answers a 500 HTML error page. Each tool here therefore sends its command's full P_* parameter set with "" for anything the caller left out. A body of {} returns responseCode 420 INVALID_REQUEST, which is what makes the endpoint look key-gated when it is not.

Dates go out as MM/DD/YYYY. Tools accept ISO YYYY-MM-DD and convert.

Transactions, rents and valuations only cover the current calendar year. Measured 2026-09-07: the whole of 2026 returned 152,531 transactions, while 2025 and 2024 returned an empty array with responseCode 200 — no error, no warning. Do not read an empty result for an older range as an outage.

projects returns nothing without date_type. Dates alone give an empty 200; date_type plus dates gives rows. buildings and lands are the opposite — they want no date range at all.

The upstream P_AREA_ID filter does not work and is not exposed. The AREA_ID codes from carea-lookup (e.g. A-292 for Al Barsha) return zero rows on transactions and a 500 on lands, so the tools always send "" for it. Rows still carry AREA_EN / AREA_AR, so filter by district on the way out. zone_id (1 Deira, 2 Dubai) does work where the command declares it.

Row noise. Each row repeats a TOTAL column holding the size of the whole matching set, plus an RN sequence number and a DEFAULT_SORT marker. TOTAL is hoisted to the response's total and all three are stripped from the rows. Bilingual columns come in _EN / _AR pairs; the Arabic twin is dropped unless include_arabic: true (always kept for dld_list_areas, where it is the point).

GENDER_EN on broker rows is returned in Arabic by the upstream (أنثى / ذكر) despite the _EN suffix. The gender filter itself works: 0 male, 1 female.

No spoofed headers needed. The gateway answers a plain request carrying our own User-Agent; it does not check Origin or Referer.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dubai-land": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/dubai-land/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/dubai-land/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1878+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/dld_search_transactions \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"from_date":"2026-09-01","to_date":"2026-09-06","transaction_type":"1","limit":3,"sort":"TRANS_VALUE_DESC"}'

No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/dld_search_transactions. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Standalone (no gateway account)

This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dubai-land": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-dubai-land"]
    }
  }
}

Or run it directly to confirm it starts:

npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-dubai-land

It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Dubai Land data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
