landuse-mcp

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for retrieving land use data for given geographical locations using the National Land Cover Database (NLCD) and other geospatial datasets.

Features

  • Land Cover Data: Retrieve detailed land cover classifications for any coordinate

  • Soil Type Information: Get FAO soil type classifications for geographical points

  • Temporal Data: Access available dates for land use data at specific locations

  • MCP Integration: Full Model Context Protocol support for AI agents

  • Geospatial Processing: Built on robust geospatial libraries for accurate data retrieval

Quick Start

# Install dependencies and set up development environment
make dev

# Run the MCP server
make server

# Run tests
make test-coverage

# Demo functionality
make demo

Installation

From PyPI (Recommended)

# Install with uvx
uvx landuse-mcp

From Source

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/justaddcoffee/landuse-mcp.git
cd landuse-mcp

# Install in development mode
make dev

Usage

Command Line Interface

# Run the MCP server
landuse-mcp

# Or using uv
uv run landuse-mcp

Python API

from landuse_mcp.main import get_land_cover, get_soil_type, get_landuse_dates

# Get land cover data for Death Valley
land_cover = get_land_cover(36.5322649, -116.9325408, "2001-01-01", "2002-01-01")
print(land_cover)

# Get soil type for a location
soil_type = get_soil_type(32.95047, -87.393259)
print(soil_type)  # e.g., "Cambisols"

# Get available dates for land use data
dates = get_landuse_dates(36.5322649, -116.9325408)
print(dates)  # List of available dates

Testing MCP Protocol

# Test MCP handshake
make test-mcp

# Extended MCP testing
make test-mcp-extended

Available Tools

The MCP server provides three main tools:

  1. get_land_cover: Retrieve land cover data for coordinates with temporal range

  2. get_soil_type: Get FAO soil classification for a location

  3. get_landuse_dates: List available dates for land use data at coordinates

Data Sources

  • National Land Cover Database (NLCD): Primary source for US land cover data

  • FAO Soil Types: Global soil classification system

  • nmdc-geoloc-tools: Underlying geospatial processing library
