MontrealPermitOracle

Montreal Construction Oracle (MCP) Real-time building permit intelligence for the AI age. The Montreal Construction Oracle is a specialized Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides structured, real-time access to building permit data from the City of Montreal. Instead of manually digging through messy government CSVs, this server allows AI agents (like Claude, ChatGPT, or custom enterprise bots) to instantly query high-value construction leads, renovation trends, and urban development data. 🚀 Features Real-Time Scraping: Directly interfaces with the Montreal Open Data Portal. High-Value Filtering: Instantly identify projects with budgets over $100k, $1M, or custom thresholds. Agent-Native: Built specifically for the Model Context Protocol, meaning it "explains itself" to any AI agent that connects to it. Borough Specific: Query permits by arrondissement (e.g., Plateau-Mont-Royal, Ville-Marie, Westmount). 🛠️ MCP Tools Once connected, your AI agent will have access to the following capabilities: get_recent_permits Fetch a list of permits issued within a specific timeframe and borough. Arguments: borough (string), days (number) get_high_value_permits Scan for "Big Fish" projects that meet a specific estimated cost requirement. Arguments: min_cost (number), borough (optional) ⚡ Quick Start (for AI Agents) To use this server with your local agent (e.g., Claude Desktop), add the following to your configuration: JSON { "mcpServers": { "mtl-construction-oracle": { "command": "python", "args": ["server.py", "--transport", "http"], "env": { "X_API_KEY": "YOUR_SECRET_KEY" } } } } 💼 Commercial Use & API Keys This server is built for professional real estate developers, contractors, and lead-generation firms. Want to monetize this? Access to the live endpoint requires an API key.

This tool is an independent implementation and is not officially affiliated with the municipal government. Why this README works: The "Hook": It immediately identifies as an MCP server (the hottest tech in 2026). The Value: It highlights "High-Value Filtering," which is what contractors care about. The Paywall: It subtly mentions that keys are required for commercial use, setting the stage for your revenue. Once you save this file, commit and push it to GitHub using that token you just generated. Your business is officially "dressed to impress
