Bucky

Cited site feasibility and pre-development project workflows for Canada and the United States, as a plugin and a hosted MCP server.

Give it a street address and it returns the lot, the zone, the permitted uses, and the material envelope — setbacks, height, coverage, density — with each value carrying its own provenance. A setback the bylaw does not limit and a setback Bucky could not extract are different answers, and they stay different.

Install

Claude Code

Claude (web and desktop)

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, and paste the URL above. Needs a paid plan.

Cursor

VS Code

Add Bucky to VS Code

Codex

~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.bucky]

ChatGPT and Grok

Add as a custom connector in ChatGPT's developer-mode Connectors settings, or at grok.com/connectors → New Connector → Custom.

Anything else

Any Streamable HTTP client takes the same object:

{ "type": "http", "url": "https://buckybuild.com/api/mcp" }

What is in the plugin

Four skills, and one MCP connector:

Skill	For
site-feasibility	Zoning, lot, setback, and height lookup for one address
save-and-analyze-project	Save a site, attach its parcel, run analysis
project-report	Prepare and export a cited report
explain-feasibility-status	Interpret a coverage or provenance status

Authentication

Two tools work with no account, so you can confirm the connection before signing in: getBuckyMcpGuide and explainFeasibilityStatus.

Everything else uses Bucky's OAuth browser flow. You never paste a token. Connected apps are listed at Settings → Connected apps, with what each can do and when it was last used; disconnecting takes effect on the next request rather than whenever a token expires.

Account-scoped tools need a Professional plan or prepaid developer credit.

Limits

Coverage varies by jurisdiction. Results are preliminary decision support — not a permit, an appraisal, a guarantee, or a legal, engineering, or architectural opinion.
