Installation
Pick your client. All options below use the hosted server - no local install needed (except npx/stdio).
Claude Code
One command - zero config files:
claude mcp add cenogram https://mcp.cenogram.pl/mcp \
-t http -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
Cursor
Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project:
{
"mcpServers": {
"cenogram": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.cenogram.pl/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}
Claude Desktop
Add to your config file:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
npx (stdio):
{
"mcpServers": {
"cenogram": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@cenogram/mcp-server@latest"],
"env": {
"CENOGRAM_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}
VS Code / GitHub Copilot
Add to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:
{
"servers": {
"cenogram": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.cenogram.pl/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}
Windsurf
Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:
HTTP remote:
{
"mcpServers": {
"cenogram": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.cenogram.pl/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}
If HTTP doesn't work, use the npx (stdio) option below instead.
Cline
In VS Code: Settings > Cline > MCP Servers. Add:
{
"cenogram": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.cenogram.pl/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
npx (stdio) - local/offline
Requires Node.js >= 18. Use this if you want to run the server locally instead of connecting to the hosted one.

Tips
- Model selection: For best results, use Claude Opus 4.7. It makes more sequential tool calls and produces richer analysis. You can switch the model in the dropdown at the bottom of the chat window.

Location naming
- Most cities: use the city name directly (e.g., "Gdansk", "Lublin")
- Warsaw: "Warszawa" covers all 18 districts at once; name one ("Mokotow", "Srodmiescie", "Wola") to narrow it down
- Krakow and Lodz work the same way: the city name covers every sub-district, or name one ("Krakow-Podgorze")
- Neighbourhood names are not administrative units - search by radius or polygon instead
- Use
list_locationsto find valid names
Property types
| Value | Polish | English |
|---|---|---|
land | Grunt | Land plot |
building | Budynek | Building |
developed_land | Grunt zabudowany | Developed land |
unit | Lokal | Apartment/unit |
Workflows
Results include parcel IDs and GPS coordinates, enabling multi-step research:
1. Search by address -> search_transactions(location="Mokotow", street="Pulawska", buildingNumber="15")
2. Note parcel_id and coordinates from results
3. Search nearby -> search_by_area(lat=52.19, lng=21.01, radiusKm=2, propertyType="unit")
4. Compare prices -> get_price_statistics(location="Mokotow")
This mimics how a property appraiser finds comparable transactions for valuation reports.
Data
- 8M+ transactions from all of Poland (380 counties)
- Date range: 2003 - present
- Source: Polish national RCN registry (Rejestr Cen Nieruchomosci)
- Refresh: periodic updates from RCN
Troubleshooting
"Error: CENOGRAM_API_KEY is required" - This only applies to stdio mode. Make sure CENOGRAM_API_KEY is set in the env block of your MCP config. For HTTP remote, the key goes in the Authorization header instead.
npx hangs or fails - Check your Node.js version with node -v. The stdio mode requires Node.js >= 18. If you're on an older version, use the HTTP remote option instead (no Node.js needed).
A location returns 0 results - The name may not be an administrative unit. Districts and neighbourhoods are two different things: "Mokotow" is a district and works, "Sluzew" is a neighbourhood inside it and does not. Use list_locations(search="...") to find valid names, or search by radius (search_by_area) for anything smaller than a district.
401 Unauthorized (HTTP mode) - The Authorization header must be Bearer cngrm_... (with the Bearer prefix). Double-check that the full API key is included, not just the prefix.
