For a real-estate development-feasibility / pro-forma agent, this number is load-bearing and, today, costs **weeks of manual digging** across municipal ordinances, utility fee schedules and county portals. We do the aggregation so your agent doesn't have to. ```jsonc // add to your MCP client config { "mcpServers": { "muni-dev-cost": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "muni-dev-cost-mcp"] } } } ``` ## Tools | Tool | Tier | What you get | |---|---|---| | `get_dev_costs` | **Free** | The aggregated municipal development cost for a jurisdiction (single-family home), split into water+sewer vs other impact, with a per-fee summary and an honest coverage label. | | `get_fee_breakdown` | Premium | Every fee line by line, grouped (Water / Sewer / Transportation / Parks / Drainage), with the **per-meter-size schedule** and each source + effective date. | | `compare_jurisdictions` | Premium | Rank 2–12 markets side by side for **site selection** β€” total, water+sewer split, the dollar/% spread and what it costs on a 100-unit project. | | `get_water_sewer_detail` | Premium | Water & sewer connection cost **by meter size** (5/8" β†’ 12") β€” the single biggest swing in a utility connection budget. | | `estimate_dev_cost` | Premium | Whole-project fees (fees Γ— units) with per-unit and extended line items, dev-type aware, explicit about exclusions. | | `list_jurisdictions` | Premium | The full **coverage map** β€” every jurisdiction, its depth and data freshness, which publish a per-meter schedule, plus the benchmark states. | | `get_fee_schedule_source` | Premium | The published **source document + per-fee provenance** (published vs estimated) behind a jurisdiction's number β€” defensible *trazabilidad* for a pro-forma. | | `get_cost_trend` | Premium | The **real dated revision history** of a jurisdiction's headline fee (prior years + adopted future steps) with YoY delta and CAGR β€” never a projection. | | `compare_by_meter_size` | Premium | One jurisdiction's water/sewer cost across **every published meter size**, ratioed to the 5/8" residential base. | | `estimate_by_units` | Premium | **Multifamily/mixed** fee estimate by LUE (units Γ— LUE-per-unit) β€” the way cities actually bill MF, so it doesn't overstate fees. | | `get_total_dev_cost` | Premium | The **grand total across every fee category** (water/sewer, transportation, parks, drainage, public-safety, other), bucketed β€” with honest $0 buckets where a city simply doesn't charge that category. | | `breakdown_by_fee_category` | Premium | Every line item within **one** category (e.g. all of a city's parks fees) with per-meter detail β€” errors honestly if the city doesn't levy that category. | | `rank_jurisdictions_by_cost` | Premium | Rank the **entire covered KB** cheapestβ†’priciest by water+sewer or total, with cheapest/median/priciest, the spread, and a site-selection insight β€” filterable by state/coverage. | | `summarize_by_state` | Premium | A **state-level roll-up** over the whole KB: per state, the city count, min/median/max cost, cheapest/priciest city, and which fee categories are assessed β€” the map for "which states are cheap/expensive to build in." | > **1 free + 13 premium tools.** The free `get_dev_costs` is the hook; the 13 premium tools are the depth a feasibility agent can't assemble itself. ### Example (free) ``` POST https://muni-dev-cost-mcp.vercel.app/dev-costs { "jurisdiction": "Phoenix, AZ" } ``` ``` πŸ—οΈ Phoenix, AZ Β· coverage 🟒 deep Municipal development cost, single-family home: $29,322 β€’ Water + sewer (impact + tap): $29,322 Fees included (one line each): β€’ Wastewater Collection impact fee: $5,127 (per dwelling) β€’ Wastewater Treatment impact fee: $3,753 (per dwelling) β€’ Water Transmission impact fee: $14,046 (per dwelling) β€’ Water Treatment impact fee: $4,387 (per dwelling) β€’ Water Resource Acquisition fee: $2,009 (per dwelling) ``` ## Coverage (honest β€” *regla 7*) We never pass off an estimate as a city's published number. - 🟒 **deep** β€” the city's own water/sewer fee schedule was ingested, including the per-meter table. Figures are `published`. - 🟑 **partial** β€” headline impact figures from public schedules; some categories estimated. - 🟠 **estimated** β€” the exact city isn't in our deep KB yet, so figures are a **regional benchmark**, clearly marked. Use as order-of-magnitude only. **Coverage today: 130 jurisdictions across 38 states β€” 109 deep (own per-meter/per-LUE schedule ingested) + 21 partial.** Dense in the high-growth markets a feasibility agent actually screens: TX (18), CO (18), FL (18), NC (16), CA (11), plus AZ, GA, WA, OR and more. From the cheapest covered market (Mobile, AL ~$1,000) to the priciest (Erie, CO ~$78,350), ranked and queryable. Any US city not yet ingested returns an honest state benchmark estimate β€” and the deep KB grows every iteration. All fee data is sourced from **public, government-published** fee schedules (works of US municipal government β†’ public domain). Each jurisdiction carries its source URL and effective date. **Indicative β€” verify the exact amount with the jurisdiction.** Not legal or fee-certification advice. ## Two ways to pay for the premium tools - πŸ’³ **Card (Stripe)** β€” buy a prepaid API key at `/pro/checkout`, then set `"env": { "MUNI_DEV_COST_KEY": "" }`. - πŸͺ™ **x402 (USDC on Base)** β€” AI agents pay per call automatically; no signup. The free `get_dev_costs` works with no key. ## How it stays a moat The aggregation engine, the normalized fee knowledge base and the accumulating per-jurisdiction cache run **server-side**. The npm package is a **thin client**: it forwards your call to the hosted server and renders the response. The fee data and the premium logic never ship in the tarball β€” a moat verified on every build by `npm run test:moat`. ## License MIT.
