mcp-server-blm-mlrs

An MCP server for the BLM MLRS Geothermal Leases dataset.

It exposes tools that query the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Mineral & Land Records System (MLRS) geothermal leases ArcGIS FeatureServer and returns clean, structured lease data to any MCP client (Claude Desktop, etc.).

Data source

BLM National MLRS Geothermal Leases FeatureServer:

https://gis.blm.gov/nlsdb/rest/services/HUB/BLM_Natl_MLRS_Geothermal_Leases/FeatureServer/0

Related MCP server: mcp-arcgis-montana

Tools

get_lease_details(case_number)

Retrieve full details for a single lease by its BLM case serial number.

• case_number — BLM case serial number, e.g. 'NVNV105806473'.

Returns a dict of lease details (case name, type, status, state, acreage, commodity, formation, production status, effective/expiration/sale dates, data source), or an error message if not found.

search_leases(state, status, effective_date_from, effective_date_to, expiration_date_from, expiration_date_to)

Search leases with optional filters. All parameters are optional; if none are given, all leases are returned (capped at 50 records).

Returns {"count": <int>, "leases": [ {lease summary}, ... ]}, or an error message on failure.

Installation

Requires Python >= 3.11.

uv sync

Running

By default the server runs over stdio, suitable for local MCP clients:

uv run python -m geothermal_leases.app

If a PORT (or DATABRICKS_APP_PORT) environment variable is set, it instead serves over HTTP on that port:

PORT=8000 uv run python -m geothermal_leases.app

A health check is available at GET /health when running over HTTP.

Configuring an MCP client

Example entry for a client that launches MCP servers over stdio:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "geothermal-leases": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "python", "-m", "geothermal_leases.app"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/mcp-server-blm-mlrs"
    }
  }
}
