Catastro GPS MCP server

Official cadastral parcels for AI agents from 29 European countries (including the Basque Country and Navarre foral cadastres), with one API key: by cadastral reference in 27, by coordinates in all 29. In Croatia (ARKOD agricultural parcels), Sweden (agricultural blocks) and Scotland (by coordinates) the source is not a full cadastre.

Ask your agent for a parcel by its cadastral reference, by a point on the map or by a postal address. It gets back the reference, location, area, land use and the parcel outline; it can list every dwelling of a Spanish building, read relief, protected areas, climate normals and satellite ground motion, estimate solar and agricultural potential, read aggregated market prices, and score and compare parcels.

  • 29 countries, one call shape. ES, PT, FR, IT, DE, PL, NL, CH... and the two Spanish foral cadastres (PV, NA) that the central Catastro does not serve.
  • The country is optional. It is detected from the reference format or from the point. When bare digits fit several countries the API says so (CNV_AMBIGUOUS) and resolve_reference tells you which ones, for free.
  • Address search in 27 countries. "Calle Gran Via 31, Madrid", "8 boulevard du Port, Amiens" or "Damrak 1, 1012 LG Amsterdam" become ranked parcels.
  • Buildings, not only plots. get_units lists every dwelling, shop and garage of a Spanish building with floor, door, area and participation coefficient.
  • Your quota in every answer. Each result carries the monthly quota left, the prepaid balance and the per-minute headroom.
  • Free tier for good. 250 calls a month at no cost, no card. Failed lookups are not charged.

compare_parcelsTwo or three parcels side by side: location, solar, agriculture, scoreES, PT, FR, IT, DE (not PV or NA)

Quota, prepaid balance and limits

  • Only successful answers with data spend quota: a not found, a validation error, CNV_COVERAGE, CNV_AMBIGUOUS, a 5xx and an answer without data (available: false) are free. resolve_reference and get_crop_catalog never spend; get_parcel_subparcels and get_parcel_sigpac are free when the parcel has none.
  • Each successful call costs 1 unit, except get_units (one unit per unit served in the page, minimum 1) and compare_parcels (one per parcel found).
  • Every result carries a quota object read from that same response: remaining, limit, resets_at, plan, and when they apply prepaid_overage, prepaid_balance_eur, overage_units_left, per_minute_remaining, and on get_units with a contract per-finca cap finca_cap / finca_cap_used.
  • When the monthly quota runs out the API does not cut you off if you have prepaid balance: each extra unit is paid from it (top up at parcelgps.com/app/developer). With the quota used up and no balance the call fails with KEY_AUTH_004 (HTTP 429, never 402) and the error says whether to top up or upgrade, and when the quota resets.
  • A separate per-minute limit depends on the plan (Free 10, Developer 60, Startup 120, Growth 300 calls per minute; a global per-IP guard also applies). Going over it answers KEY_RATE_002 with the seconds to wait.
What the market, score and history tools can and cannot tell
  • get_market_data is for paid API plans only (a Free-plan key gets KEY_PLAN_001, not charged) and only prices rural land: agricultural parcels in Spain (Basque Country and Navarre included), small agricultural buildings (sheds, farm stores, ponds, greenhouses) allowed; the figure is the land price, buildings are not valued. It returns crop_prices (price per hectare for each crop group of the parcel, with the number of sales behind it) and zone_prices.rural (the province farmland price per hectare). Housing, industrial or any other non-agricultural property is not supported and answers MKT_001 with nothing charged; so does rural land without a price and any other country.
  • get_investment_score combines what the API can gather for the parcel: solar potential and agricultural use everywhere it answers, market prices only in France, Italy and Germany (NRW). Accessibility and risk are not computed yet and come back as not_available, so the score is relative to the factors that were available. You get the score, the rating and qualitative factor levels, never the weights.
  • get_value_history starts the first time anyone looks the parcel up through Catastro GPS (at most one snapshot every 30 days). A parcel nobody has queried returns an empty list. It records area and land use; the official cadastral value is not recorded yet, so cadastral_value_eur is always null and change_pct is the change in area.
  • compare_parcels fills area, land use and municipality only for Spanish parcels; for Portugal, France, Italy and Germany it returns the location, solar, agriculture and score. It does not include market prices. A parcel that is not found comes back with an error and the others are still compared.

Hungary, Romania and the rest of Europe are not covered: a reference or point there answers CNV_COVERAGE. Data comes from each country's official cadastre or INSPIRE service (Spain from our copy of the Catastro), so availability follows theirs; when one is down the server answers SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE, which is free.

Official registry documents (Spanish nota simple, Italian visura, Portuguese certidão permanente and others) can be ordered at catastrogps.es. They are not exposed through the API or this server yet.

Examples

Ask your agent:

Find the cadastral parcel at Calle Mallorca 213, Barcelona, and give me its area and outline.

List every flat of the building at Avenida Jose Rodriguez de la Borbolla 10, Dos Hermanas, with floor, door and area.

Is the ground sinking under parcel 30024A16000286? Is it inside a Natura 2000 site?

What is the parcel at 52.2297, 21.0122? What's its area?

Look up the Polish parcel 146510_8.0502.1/3 and tell me its area.

Compare the solar potential of these two rural parcels in Navarre and Portugal.

Compare these three parcels in Spain, France and Italy and tell me which has the best investment score.

What do land prices look like around the French parcel 75056000AB0001?

What a get_parcel call returns (shortened; values are illustrative):

{
  "reference": "9872023VH5797S0001WX",
  "country": "ES",
  "latitude": 40.4165,
  "longitude": -3.7038,
  "address": "CL MAYOR 1",
  "municipality": "MADRID",
  "region": "MADRID",
  "area_m2": 512,
  "land_use": "Residencial",
  "outline_lat_lng": [[40.41662, -3.70391], [40.41671, -3.70362], "..."],
  "google_maps_url": "https://maps.google.com/?q=40.4165,-3.7038"
}

Every call goes to the English v1 REST API (https://api.parcelgps.com/v1/...), so nested blocks such as agriculture, relief or ground_motion use the same English camelCase field names as the API docs.

Errors come back as a code plus a sentence the agent can act on, for example:

CNV_COVERAGE: That reference or point is in a country that is not covered yet.
SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE: The official cadastre for this country is not responding. Try again in a few minutes.
KEY_AUTH_004: Monthly quota used up and prepaid balance empty: top up at https://parcelgps.com/app/developer (or upgrade at https://www.parcelgps.com/developers).

Pricing

The same key works for this server, the REST API and the SDKs (catastrogps on npm and PyPI).

Frequently asked questions

What is Catastro GPS?

Cadastral parcels from 29 European countries, by reference in 27 and by coordinates in all 29

How do I install Catastro GPS?

It runs as a remote server. In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http catastro-gps 'https://mcp.parcelgps.com/mcp' --header 'Authorization: <Bearer followed by your Parcel GPS API key. Free tier: 250 calls/month at https://www.parcelgps.com/developers>'. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.

Does Catastro GPS need an API key?

Yes. It expects CATASTROGPS_API_KEY, Authorization, which you set in its configuration.

Is Catastro GPS open source?

Yes. Its code is on GitHub under the MIT license.

Who maintains Catastro GPS?

It is published by TheHiddenPandaDev. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.

From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
