South Africa Cadastral Parcels & Erf Lookup MCP

Connect your AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) to BumiAtlas for South African land research through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

This listing is a focused entry point for:

  • All ~9.1M surveyed parcels from the Chief Surveyor-General's national cadastre: erven, farm portions, parent farms, agricultural holdings and public places
  • Parcel lookup by number and registration region (erf 13583 East London, portion 11 of 930 Cape), parent farm name, SG key, or coordinates
  • CSG label (RE/13583), deed diagram, survey record and sectional title references, status codes and computed area
  • Satellite and street map images of a parcel and its neighbours, labelled by CSG label

Parcels have no owner, title deed or value: the cadastre is surveyed boundaries only.
