mcp-resilland

AI-powered spatial intelligence for landscape restoration — now in any MCP client.

Built for the World Bank's $256M RESILAND CA+ program covering Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan.

mcp-resilland is a Model Context Protocol server that makes the full power of the RESILAND Intelligence platform available to Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, Windsurf, Zed, and any other MCP-capable client.

Ask your AI assistant questions like:

"Analyze cadastral parcel 1248 in Samarqand for drought-tolerant restoration, cite the Phase 4 policy documents, and generate a feasibility report in Turkish."

…and the model will call the right sequence of tools — pulling cadastral geometry, 12-month Sentinel-2 NDVI, OSM infrastructure proximity, country climate indicators, curated species fit, and pgvector-backed policy RAG — then synthesize the answer with Opus 4.7 on the RESILAND backend.

Features

• 🗺️ 3,563 cadastral forest parcels (Uzbekistan pilot) + all 5 RESILAND CA+ countries

• 🌱 Curated species catalog — 64 Central Asia tree/shrub species with climate profile, tolerances, restoration priorities, nursery availability

• 🛰️ Sentinel-2 NDVI history — 12-month median per parcel from local Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFFs

• 🌡️ Country climate indicators — ERA5 temperature, CHIRPS precipitation, GWIS FWI fire danger, SPI-3 drought, WRI water stress, Hansen tree-cover loss, MODIS dust

• 🛣️ OSM infrastructure proximity — nearest road / settlement / water body across ~370K features for all 5 countries

• 📄 Phase 4 policy RAG — pgvector semantic search across World Bank Phase 4 feasibility and nursery handbooks

• 🤖 Opus 4.7 feasibility reports — 10-section Phase 4-style markdown with citations and token/cost accounting

• 🌐 Four-language output — English · Türkçe · Русский · Oʻzbekcha

Install

pip install mcp-resilland

Or, if your MCP client supports it (recommended for Claude Desktop):

uvx mcp-resilland

Configure

Create an API key on the RESILAND dashboard: https://resilland.com/settings/api-keys

(Keys are free with soft daily/weekly/monthly quotas — no credit card.)

Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "resilland": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-resilland"],
      "env": {
        "RESILLAND_API_KEY": "rsi_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor / Continue / Windsurf / Zed

Any MCP-capable client. Point the stdio transport at the mcp-resilland binary with the same environment variable.

Self-hosted backend

If you run your own RESILAND Intelligence instance, override the upstream:

export RESILLAND_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8000
export RESILLAND_API_KEY=rsi_live_...
mcp-resilland

Example conversations

You:   List all RESILAND-9 nurseries in Kazakhstan.
Claude: [calls list_nurseries(country="KAZ", category="RESILAND-9")]
        Here are the 9 RESILAND program nurseries in Kazakhstan…

You:   For parcel 1248, what are the top three drought-tolerant species?
Claude: [calls analyze_area(parcel_id=1248, query="drought tolerant")]
        Based on the curated species fit and Phase 4 RAG citations,
        the top three are Haloxylon ammodendron, Elaeagnus angustifolia,
        and Ulmus pumila…

You:   Generate a full feasibility report for the Dargom nursery in Turkish.
Claude: [calls generate_feasibility_report(nursery_id="…", locale="tr")]
        I've prepared a 2,300-word Turkish feasibility report.
        Estimated cost: $0.08. Sources cited: 7 Phase 4 chunks…

The MCP server is a stateless proxy. It does not compute, store, or cache — all state lives on the RESILAND backend (PostGIS for geometry, pgvector for RAG, MinIO for tiles, Redis for the Anthropic response cache).

Development
