SafeStreets plugin
Walkability and pedestrian safety for any US address, for Claude and ChatGPT. Made by Streets & Commons.
The plugin connects your assistant to the SafeStreets MCP server at https://safestreets.streetsandcommons.com/mcp and adds three skills that tell the assistant how to use it well. It is free and needs no sign-in.
Tools
| Tool | What it answers |
|---|---|
get_walkability_score | How walkable and how safe for walking one address is, 0 to 10, with four components and the metrics behind them |
compare_locations | Which of several places is better on foot, and on which component they differ |
score_many | Scores for a list of addresses |
get_city_walkability | A whole city's score |
find_walkable_neighborhoods | The most walkable neighborhoods in a city |
search_neighborhoods | Neighborhoods across the US filtered by region, home price, walkability and transit |
get_dangerous_corridors | Roads where pedestrians were killed, from NHTSA FARS, with deaths per year |
search_insights | SafeStreets research articles with figures you can cite |
Every tool only reads data.
Skills
- walkability-check: answers "is this address walkable?" with a verdict and the component that holds it back.
- where-to-live-on-foot: narrows a move by region, budget and transit, then compares a shortlist.
- street-safety-evidence: builds a sourced case about a dangerous street for a council letter, story or grant.
