**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 and surrounding land use.

Data source: Polish national RCN registry (Rejestr Cen Nieruchomosci) | Platform: [cenogram.pl](https://cenogram.pl?src=mcpstdio)

## Configuration

| Env Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `CENOGRAM_API_KEY` | **Yes** (stdio) | - | API key from [cenogram.pl/api](https://cenogram.pl/api?src=mcpstdio) |
| `CENOGRAM_API_URL` | No | `https://cenogram.pl` | API base URL |
| `MCP_TRANSPORT` | No | `stdio` | Set to `http` for Streamable HTTP mode |
| `MCP_PORT` | No | `3002` | HTTP server port (HTTP mode only) |

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.

### 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

| 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
- **Per-parcel context:** zoning, flood and landslide risk, heritage register, building permits and construction activity, transit access, agricultural land use and surroundings, 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.
