Listing Location Toolkit

Listing Location Toolkit (Remote MCP Server)

Location facts for property and business-for-sale listings, written ready to paste, with sources. Give it an address in the US or UK and it answers the questions buyers ask: how far to the nearest town, cities and airports, how many people live within a 1, 2 or 4 hour drive, what lakes, coast, mountains, national parks and attractions are nearby, whether the site is on the water, how big the plot is, and where to get an aerial photo.

Built for AI agents working for estate agents, business brokers and their teams. No install, no API key, no signup. Connect by URL and call it.

Free to use during launch.

Why it exists

Map APIs hand back raw numbers. A listing needs sentences like "About 1.9 million people live within a 2 hour drive" with a source a buyer's adviser can check. The people count is the hard part: public drive-time services stop at 60 minutes, and a drive-time population report from the big analytics vendors costs about $50 each. This server does it in one call for the US and UK.

Example

Call listing_location_pack with {"address": "7090 State Route 80, Cooperstown, NY 13326"} (a lakeside inn on Otsego Lake). The listing_lines that came back, live, 09-11-2026:

[

"Drive times: Utica 46 min, Albany 1 hr 21 min, Syracuse 1 hr 39 min, New York City 3 hr 43 min and John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) 3 hr 57 min.", "About 380,000 people live within a 1 hour drive, about 2.5 million within 2 hours and about 30 million within 4 hours (US Census 2020).", "Waterfront: on the edge of Otsego Lake (within 170 m of the water).", "Parks, nature reserves and protected land: Glimmerglass State Park (1.0 miles, 15 min drive), Betty and Wilbur Davis State Park (9.7 miles, 29 min drive) and Gilbert Lake State Park (18 miles, 48 min drive).", "Museums, castles and attractions: Fenimore Art Museum (5.7 miles, 8 min drive), National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum (6.8 miles, 10 min drive) and Arkell Museum (18 miles, 32 min drive)." ]

The full answer also carries each drive time with road miles and raw router minutes, the people count per band with its method, the nearby places by category with direction and distance, map links and a sources list. For a lakeside test in England, try {"address": "LA22 9HA"} (Lake District).

How the numbers are made

• People within a drive: residents grouped into sectors by direction and distance, each sector's population centre timed by car, and sectors close to a band edge split finer and timed again. Checked against a full tract-by-tract build: within 1 to 5% at 1 to 4 hours. Bands under 1 hour are rougher. Residents only; people across a national border are not counted.
• Drive minutes: the OSRM car router on OpenStreetMap roads, scaled to match Google Maps usual-traffic minutes (checked on 14 US routes: 12 came out 4 to 21% above Google, so on the cautious side, and 2 were 7 to 9% under). The unscaled router minutes are returned too. UK routes are not yet checked against Google. Rush hour can be longer.
• Nearby places: notable named places from Wikidata. Distances are to each place's centre point, except edge_km, measured to the shore or boundary from its OpenStreetMap outline.
• Plot size: measured on the ground from the polygon. An OpenStreetMap outline is not a legal boundary, so the server says "about" and asks you to check the deed.

Sources and licences

Every answer carries its own sources list, so the credit lines can go straight into the listing.

Limits

Up to 4 drive bands per call, each 15 minutes to 5 hours. Up to 20 destinations (6 by name). Nearby search up to 40 miles. Polygons up to 5,000 points. The people count and the nearby place list cover the US and UK; drive times and plot size work anywhere roads are mapped.

Privacy

Addresses are answered in memory and never stored by this server. To find the pin, the address is sent to the geocoder named in the answer (US Census Geocoder, postcodes.io or Nominatim), and coordinates are sent to the router and Nominatim. To see which tools get used, each call records the tool name, whether it succeeded, the client name your app reports, the country and a one-way hashed caller ID. Your addresses, your arguments and your IP address are never kept in that log.
