FAQ

Questions

muni-dev-cost 🏗️

What will the city and utility charge me to build here?

muni-dev-cost is an MCP server (and a pay-per-call x402 API) that gives an AI agent the municipal development cost for a US jurisdiction — the impact/development fees, water & sewer tap (connection) fees and capital-recovery charges a real-estate developer must pay before breaking ground — aggregated and normalized from public, government-published fee schedules into one comparable number.

For a real-estate development-feasibility / pro-forma agent, this number is load-bearing and, today, costs weeks of manual digging across municipal ordinances, utility fee schedules and county portals. We do the aggregation so your agent doesn't have to.

Tools

Tool	Tier	What you get
`get_dev_costs`	Free	The aggregated municipal development cost for a jurisdiction (single-family home), split into water+sewer vs other impact, with a per-fee summary and an honest coverage label.
`get_fee_breakdown`	Premium	Every fee line by line, grouped (Water / Sewer / Transportation / Parks / Drainage), with the per-meter-size schedule and each source + effective date.
`compare_jurisdictions`	Premium	Rank 2–12 markets side by side for site selection — total, water+sewer split, the dollar/% spread and what it costs on a 100-unit project.
`get_water_sewer_detail`	Premium	Water & sewer connection cost by meter size (5/8" → 12") — the single biggest swing in a utility connection budget.
`estimate_dev_cost`	Premium	Whole-project fees (fees × units) with per-unit and extended line items, dev-type aware, explicit about exclusions.
`list_jurisdictions`	Premium	The full coverage map — every jurisdiction, its depth and data freshness, which publish a per-meter schedule, plus the benchmark states.
`get_fee_schedule_source`	Premium	The published source document + per-fee provenance (published vs estimated) behind a jurisdiction's number — defensible trazabilidad for a pro-forma.
`get_cost_trend`	Premium	The real dated revision history of a jurisdiction's headline fee (prior years + adopted future steps) with YoY delta and CAGR — never a projection.
`compare_by_meter_size`	Premium	One jurisdiction's water/sewer cost across every published meter size, ratioed to the 5/8" residential base.
`estimate_by_units`	Premium	Multifamily/mixed fee estimate by LUE (units × LUE-per-unit) — the way cities actually bill MF, so it doesn't overstate fees.

1 free + 13 premium tools. The free get_dev_costs is the hook; the 13 premium tools are the depth a feasibility agent can't assemble itself.

POST https://muni-dev-cost-mcp.vercel.app/dev-costs
{ "jurisdiction": "Phoenix, AZ" }

🏗️  Phoenix, AZ  ·  coverage 🟢 deep
   Municipal development cost, single-family home: $29,322
     • Water + sewer (impact + tap): $29,322
   Fees included (one line each):
     • Wastewater Collection impact fee: $5,127  (per dwelling)
     • Wastewater Treatment impact fee: $3,753  (per dwelling)
     • Water Transmission impact fee: $14,046  (per dwelling)
     • Water Treatment impact fee: $4,387  (per dwelling)
     • Water Resource Acquisition fee: $2,009  (per dwelling)

Coverage (honest — regla 7)

We never pass off an estimate as a city's published number.

🟢 deep — the city's own water/sewer fee schedule was ingested, including the per-meter table. Figures are published.
🟡 partial — headline impact figures from public schedules; some categories estimated.
🟠 estimated — the exact city isn't in our deep KB yet, so figures are a regional benchmark, clearly marked. Use as order-of-magnitude only.

Coverage today: 130 jurisdictions across 38 states — 109 deep (own per-meter/per-LUE schedule ingested) + 21 partial. Dense in the high-growth markets a feasibility agent actually screens: TX (18), CO (18), FL (18), NC (16), CA (11), plus AZ, GA, WA, OR and more. From the cheapest covered market (Mobile, AL ~$1,000) to the priciest (Erie, CO ~$78,350), ranked and queryable. Any US city not yet ingested returns an honest state benchmark estimate — and the deep KB grows every iteration.

All fee data is sourced from public, government-published fee schedules (works of US municipal government → public domain). Each jurisdiction carries its source URL and effective date. Indicative — verify the exact amount with the jurisdiction. Not legal or fee-certification advice.

Two ways to pay for the premium tools

💳 Card (Stripe) — buy a prepaid API key at /pro/checkout, then set "env": { "MUNI_DEV_COST_KEY": "<key>" }.
🪙 x402 (USDC on Base) — AI agents pay per call automatically; no signup.

The free get_dev_costs works with no key.

How it stays a moat

The aggregation engine, the normalized fee knowledge base and the accumulating per-jurisdiction cache run server-side. The npm package is a thin client: it forwards your call to the hosted server and renders the response. The fee data and the premium logic never ship in the tarball — a moat verified on every build by npm run test:moat.
