Available Tools (12)

What Agents Can Do

• Ask: "What's 1532 14 Ave SW in Calgary worth?" — Gets assessed value, land value, building value, year built, lot size, and DLS coordinates.
• Ask: "Show me recent building permits in Vancouver" — Returns the latest construction permits with type, value, status, and issue dates.
• Ask: "What zone is this GPS point in?" — Looks up zoning district, land use, and boundary info.
• Ask: "Convert these 50 GPS points to DLS" — Batch converts in a single API call.
• Ask: "Is Shopify still an active corporation?" — Searches the federal business registry.

Using an API Key

Set the CLEVERTECH_API_KEY environment variable (recommended):

export CLEVERTECH_API_KEY=your_key_here
uvx clevertech-mcp-server

Or pass it as a CLI flag:

uvx clevertech-mcp-server --api-key YOUR_KEY

To get a new key, use device login:

uvx clevertech-mcp-server --login

This opens a browser for Google sign-in, then prints your API key with instructions for setting the environment variable (RFC 8628 device flow). The key is not saved to disk — you configure it in your MCP client.
