MCP: Building Permits & Contractor License Intel

An MCP server that gives any AI agent live US building-permit + contractor-license intelligence. Wraps seibs.co/building-permits-intel as four Model Context Protocol tools an agent can call directly - search_permits, get_permit, lookup_contractor, and trade_signals - across the fragmented city/county permit portals (Chicago, Austin, NYC, SF, Seattle today; a national catalog phasing in). Built for trades sales teams, suppliers, insurers, and real-estate investors wiring permit intent signals into an agent or copilot. x402 (USDC on Base) and Skyfire ready for token-less agentic payments.

The tools

ToolWhat it does
search_permitsFetch normalized permits per jurisdiction (filter by keyword, address, trade, date range, min valuation).
get_permitLook up one permit by {jurisdiction, permit_number}.
lookup_contractorResolve a contractor's permit footprint across jurisdictions (count, trades, total valuation, license).
trade_signalsScore recent permits into ranked, cross-sell-ready buying signals for the trades (solar/roofing/HVAC/pool), each with a 0-100 intent score.

Run modes

  • list_tools (free) - emit the MCP tool catalog (names, JSON schemas, payment descriptor). Start here for discovery.
  • call_tool - invoke one tool. Provide tool + args.
  • batch - invoke up to 10 {tool, args} calls in one run.
// mode=call_tool
{
"mode": "call_tool",
"tool": "trade_signals",
"args": { "jurisdictions": ["CHICAGO", "AUSTIN", "SF"], "trades": ["solar", "roofing", "hvac"] }
}

Pricing

Flat $0.005 per MCP tool call (mcp_tool_call). The upstream building-permits-intel actor charges its own pay-per-event prices (permit_record $0.005, valuation_signal $0.008, contractor_enrichment $0.010) directly to the same run, so total cost = $0.005 per tool call + upstream pass-through. A call that returns nothing costs only the tool-call fee.

Agentic payments (x402 + Skyfire)

This server advertises an agentic-payment descriptor so an AI agent can pay per call with no pre-provisioned API token once the operator enables MCP monetization. Set X402_ENABLED=1 + X402_PAY_TO_ADDRESS (USDC on Base) and/or SKYFIRE_ENABLED=1 + SKYFIRE_SELLER_ID as actor env secrets. Off by default; calls through Apify always bill via standard PPE.

Connect from a client

Point any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, OpenAI Assistants, LangChain, LlamaIndex) at this actor via Apify's actor-as-MCP-tool convention, or call it directly with the Apify API. Run mode=list_tools first to fetch the live JSON schemas.

Data is public-record (government permits + contractor licenses), accessed logged-out and PII-minimized. See the upstream actor's README for coverage, the anti-bot escalation ladder, and the responsible-use note.
