Cenogram - Polish Real Estate Transactions (RCN)

Cenogram MCP Server

Polish Real Estate Transaction & Parcel Data for AI

MCP server for Polish real estate data. Access 8M+ real estate transactions from the national Registry of Prices and Values (Rejestr Cen Nieruchomosci, RCN) - prices from notarial deeds, not listings - directly from Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Grok, or any MCP-compatible AI assistant. Beyond transaction prices, the server resolves cadastral parcels and adds per-parcel context: zoning, flood and landslide risk, heritage register, building permits and construction activity, public transport access, agricultural land classification, surrounding land use, nature - nearby forest and overlapping protected areas - what lies underground (mining terrains and major groundwater reservoirs), the land-use and soil-quality classification, and road access.

Data source: Polish national RCN registry (Rejestr Cen Nieruchomosci) | Platform: cenogram.pl

Free tier

New accounts start with 1,000 tokens and a 14-day trial of the Standard plan. After that the key keeps working on 50 tokens a week - the balance is restored to 50 every 7 days rather than accumulating - with no expiry date and no card.

A call costs 1 token for statistics, reference data, parcel identity and municipal context; 2 for a transaction search, a price histogram or a list of the parcels in an area; 4 for one context layer of a parcel or transaction; 5 for spatial search, parcel outlines, valuation and a multi-district comparison; 45 for get_parcel_report, which returns every layer at once. Location catalogues are free. Paid plans raise the allowance - see cenogram.pl/api.

Installation

Pick your client. All options below use the hosted server - no local install needed (except npx/stdio).

Configuration

You can also use the --http CLI flag instead of MCP_TRANSPORT=http.

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.

Example Prompts

Polish:

• "Jaka jest mediana cen mieszkan w Krakowie w 2025?"
• "Pokaz transakcje z ulicy Pulawskiej 15 na Mokotowie"
• "Znajdz transakcje na dzialce 126104_9.0015.201"
• "Sprawdz plan miejscowy i ryzyko powodziowe dla dzialki 126104_9.0015.201"
• "Znajdz transakcje gruntow w promieniu 5km od centrum Wroclawia powyzej 500 000 PLN"
• "Porownaj ceny mieszkan na Mokotowie i Woli"
• "Pokaz rozklad cen nieruchomosci w Polsce"

English:

• "What's the median apartment price in Krakow in 2025?"
• "Show transactions at Pulawska 15 in Mokotow"
• "Find all transactions on parcel 126104_9.0015.201 and then search nearby"
• "Check the zoning and flood risk for parcel 126104_9.0015.201"
• "Find land transactions within 5km of Wroclaw center above 500,000 PLN"
• "Compare apartment prices in Mokotow and Wola districts"
• "Show the price distribution of real estate in Poland"

Tools

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_locations to find valid names

Property types

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.

Starting from the land rather than from a deed is a different route:

1. List the parcels     -> list_parcels_in_area(location="Wawer", minArea=800)
2. Draw the ones you want -> list_parcels_in_area(bbox="21.10,52.20,21.14,52.23", includeGeometry=true)
3. Open one in full     -> get_parcel_report(parcelId="146518_8.0108.27")

Step 1 pages by cursor; step 2 is capped and usually truncated, so narrow the box rather than reading a truncated answer as the parcel list of the area.

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
• Per-parcel context: zoning, flood and landslide risk, heritage register, building permits and construction activity, transit access, agricultural land use, surroundings, nature (nearby forest and protected areas), subsurface (mining terrains and major groundwater reservoirs), land-use and soil-quality classification, and road access - addressable by cadastral ID

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.

402 Payment Required - The account is out of tokens. On a free account the response says the date from which the balance is back at its weekly 50; the key and the connection stay valid until then. A paid plan lifts the limit - see cenogram.pl/api.
