Use with AI Assistants (MCP)

This actor works as an MCP tool with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, and other MCP clients.

Setup: Add this to your MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "building-permits": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=pink_comic/building-permits-construction-leads"
    }
  }
}

Then ask your AI: "Find recent roofing permits in Austin" -- it will query the actor and return structured permit data. Chicago and other cities are available, but Austin is the safest quick-test default.

Data Sources

All data is sourced from official city open data portals via the Socrata API. Data is public record. No login or API key required.
