How do I get started?
- AI agents: add the MCP server `https://www.parceled.ai/api/mcp` to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client. OAuth runs automatically. See install.
- Developers: create a free key with one request: `curl -X POST https://www.parceled.ai/api/v1/accounts -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"email":"you@example.com"}'`.
- Check coverage first: `check_availability` (MCP) or `GET /api/v1/check-availability?lat=..&lng=..` is free and tells you which datasets exist at a location before you pay.
The free tier includes 100 API calls and 5,000 map tile requests a month. After that, credits cost $0.01 each and you are only charged for fields that return data. Full reference: docs.
Frequently asked questions
Where do building footprints come from?
Footprints are assembled from public building-footprint datasets and linked to the parcel they sit on.
