What It Does

When an AI assistant user asks about property zoning, ADUs, flood risk, or buildability, the MCP tools:

1. Geocode the address via Mapbox
2. Return a structured property preview with key data points
3. Generate a deep link to the full ReadyPermit Buildability Report
4. The user gets their first report free — no signup required
