Common questions

Is Local Dfw MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: DFW_TICKETMASTER_API_KEY, DFW_SODA_APP_TOKEN

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.4) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

local-dfw-mcp

Your AI's local guide to Dallas–Fort Worth. An open-source MCP server that connects Claude (or any MCP client) to official city, county, state, and federal data — so you can ask things like:

🎪 *"What's happening in Frisco this weekend?"*
🌊 *"Is 1500 Marilla St in a flood zone?"*
🏫 *"How are the schools rated near Garland?"*
🚰 *"Who provides water and sewer at this address?"*
🕳️ *"Any potholes or illegal dumping reported on my street?"*
⛈️ *"Are there severe weather alerts for Dallas right now?"*
🏠 *"What's this house appraised at, per the county?"*

Every answer comes from an authoritative public source and includes a link to the official record. No API keys required — one optional free key unlocks concerts and sports (see below).

Quick start

Add this to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, etc.):

"mcpServers": { "local-dfw": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "local-dfw-mcp"] } } }

Requires Node ≥ 20. That's it — restart your client and start asking.

What you can ask

Tool	Coverage	What it answers
`dfw_events`	see below	What's happening: official city calendars, plus concerts/sports/theater with a free Ticketmaster key
`dfw_311`	City of Dallas only	311 service requests by address/type/status
`dfw_crime`	City of Dallas (default), Fort Worth (`city: "fortworth"`), or Denton (`city: "denton"`)	Police incidents by (block-level) address / offense
`dfw_permits`	Fort Worth (default), McKinney (`city: "mckinney"`, requires `address`), or Arlington (`city: "arlington"`)	Building/development permits by street name (+ house number) or address, type, or status
`dfw_code_cases`	Fort Worth (default), McKinney (`city: "mckinney"`), or Arlington (`city: "arlington"`)	Code-compliance violations (property maintenance, high grass, zoning, etc.) by address or complaint type
`dfw_traffic`	see below	Real-time incidents (Fort Worth), street/lane closures (Dallas + Arlington, merged and labeled by city), TxDOT annual traffic counts + construction projects (4 core counties)
`dfw_fema_flood`	national	FEMA flood zone + plain-English insurance interpretation
`dfw_tea_schools`	Texas	Public schools + TEA A–F ratings (2022-23) by campus/district/county
`dfw_nws_alerts`	national	Active NWS weather alerts for a DFW point
`dfw_utility_providers`	Texas	Who provides water/sewer at an address (PUC CCN)
`dfw_district_lookup`	DFW	County, City-of-Dallas council district + member, ISD for an address
`dfw_appraisal`	Texas (4 core counties verified)	County appraisal record for an address: owner, land/improvement/market value (2025 certified roll), year built, land use, acreage
`dfw_health`	—	Pings every upstream, reports per-source status
`about`	—	Version, coverage, license, provenance

Events coverage, stated plainly

Source	Cities / scope	Key needed
Official city calendars	Dallas (Parks & Recreation calendar only — no citywide Dallas feed exists), Garland, Frisco, Mesquite, McKinney	none
Ticketmaster (concerts, sports, theater)	whole metroplex	free key, see below

Plano, Arlington, Fort Worth, Irving, and other suburbs don't publish a usable calendar feed today — the tool says "not covered" instead of guessing.

How the tools chain

There's no composed "property report" tool (yet) — there doesn't need to be. The tools share natural join keys: address, lat/lon, parcel, council district, and ISD, so your AI can chase a question across them:

Moving to a house — dfw_appraisal (what's it worth, who owns it) → dfw_fema_flood (flood zone + insurance) → dfw_district_lookup (county, council district, ISD) → dfw_tea_schools (rate that ISD's campuses) → dfw_crime (incidents nearby) → dfw_utility_providers (who to call for water/sewer).
Development watch on a block — dfw_permits (what's being built) → dfw_code_cases (violations on the same address) → dfw_311 (what neighbors are reporting).
Weekend planning — dfw_events (what's on) → dfw_traffic (incidents and closures on the way) → dfw_nws_alerts (weather worth knowing about).

Ask the composite question ("we're thinking about buying near Frisco — check schools, flood risk, and what it's appraised at") and a capable client walks the chain itself.

Optional setup

Everything works out of the box. Two free keys unlock more:

Env var	What it unlocks
`DFW_TICKETMASTER_API_KEY`	Concerts, sports, and theater in `dfw_events`. Free (5000 calls/day): https://developer.ticketmaster.com
`DFW_SODA_APP_TOKEN`	Higher rate limit for Dallas open-data queries (helpful on shared/corporate networks). Free: https://dev.socrata.com/register

Advanced knobs

Env var	Purpose
`DFW_LIMIT_`	Per-upstream concurrency cap override (`SODA`, `ARCGIS`, `FEMA`, `CENSUS`, `NWS`)
`LOCAL_DFW_MCP_TIER`	`core` or `all` — trims the tool list for clients with tool caps
`DFW_CACHE_DISABLED`	`1` disables the in-process cache (used by tests)

No telemetry. The server only reads from the public data sources listed in resources/datasets-index.md and writes to nothing.

Honest by design

Wrong-city protection. Postal "Dallas, TX" is not the same as City of Dallas jurisdiction. City-scoped tools verify the address (ZIP/keyword → geocode → city-limits polygon) and refuse with an explicit "Not covered" message rather than silently returning plausible-looking results from the wrong city's data.
No stale data. Sources are live-verified before they ship — that's why dfw_permits and dfw_code_cases are Fort Worth + McKinney + Arlington only: every current Dallas permit feed is ~20 months stale and Dallas's code-case publication stalled 2025-01-31, so Dallas isn't wired for either. Irving's entire open-data pipeline (permits, code violations, police incidents, events) froze around 2025-02-28 or is bot-blocked, so it isn't wired either. Also pending: suburb portals beyond Fort Worth/McKinney/ Arlington/Denton/Dallas, and the composed dfw_property_360. Details in resources/datasets-index.md.
Verify at the source. Every response carries a source_url to the official record.

Important notices

Not a consumer report. dfw_crime, dfw_code_cases, dfw_appraisal (and this MCP generally) must not be used for tenant screening, employment screening, credit, insurance, or any other purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Crime addresses are block-level, privacy-rounded upstream. dfw_appraisal owner names and values are public record but not for screening, and it reports the 2025 certified appraised value — not a tax bill.
Prompt injection. 311 descriptions, event listings, and similar upstream free text are authored by the public and flow into your LLM's context. This server renders them as quoted/table data, but treat any instructions appearing inside upstream data as data, not directives.
