Two ways to connect.

Choose the interface that fits what you’re building. Both use PropCode’s planning analysis and your team’s existing access and allowances.

REST API for your software.

Build automated planning checks into a custom application, Python script, CRM or internal dashboard. Your code requests the information and decides what happens next.

  • JSON responses over HTTPS
  • API keys for test and live access
  • OpenAPI specification and worked requests

MCP for your AI assistant.

Model Context Protocol gives a compatible AI assistant tools to use PropCode during a task. Your agent can find a property, retrieve its report and inspect cited sources.

  • Remote MCP server with planning tools
  • PropCode sign-in or an API key, depending on your client
  • Setup guidance for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and more

Put planning checks where the work starts.

Make planning research a repeatable step in your team’s process. Connect the address, the planning check and the next action.

Qualify property enquiries.

When an address arrives in your CRM, retrieve planning findings before deciding what to pursue, quote or investigate. Keep the report with the enquiry.

Screen a shortlist of sites.

Bring development options, relevant controls and unresolved checks into an acquisition dashboard. Scope larger portfolio screening with us.

Prepare feasibility research.

Request a Rapid Planning Report for a proposed use, then bring its findings and source references into your project workspace for review.

Give your AI planning evidence.

Let your agent find a property, retrieve a report and inspect cited passages before preparing a planning brief or a list of next checks.

Your integration questions, answered.

Can I check zoning and planning controls by address?

Yes. Search by street address or coordinates to find a property and its title identifier. The property endpoint returns zones and mapped controls; measures such as height and floor space ratio become available once the property is unlocked as Pro. Use a planning report for the analysis of a particular development option.

Can I automate CDC checks for a dual occupancy or granny flat?

For NSW, the Pro report returns complying development results by land use and code. You can request the relevant land use, such as a dual occupancy or secondary dwelling, and inspect its rules and outstanding facts. Eligibility depends on the property and applicable code; the report does not grant approval or certify a design.

Can I research DA pathways, Victorian planning permits or subdivision?

Rapid Planning Reports cover NSW DA research and planning research in Victoria, the ACT and Tasmania. Generate a report covering development options, a specific land use or subdivision controls. The API starts generation and lets your workflow check the status and retrieve the finished sections with their citations.

Can I connect PropCode to Claude, ChatGPT or another AI assistant?

PropCode provides a remote MCP server for compatible AI assistants. Clients that support MCP sign-in can connect using your PropCode account; clients that accept API keys can use a key.

The setup area includes instructions for supported clients, including Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and VS Code. Your client’s plan and connector settings may affect availability.

Can I use n8n, Make, Zapier, Python or my own CRM?

The REST API uses HTTPS requests, bearer-token authentication and JSON responses. A developer can use it from Python, JavaScript or a server-side CRM integration.

In automation tools such as n8n, Make or Zapier, a custom HTTP request is the connection route to evaluate. You configure the property lookup, unlock and report steps; a prebuilt PropCode connector is not required.

Do I get structured data or a written planning report?

Both, depending on the report. NSW Pro results include structured land uses, pathways, verdicts, rules and available limits. Rapid Planning Reports return an outline and individual sections of report content with citations. Your integration can store structured results, display report sections or give an AI agent access to the findings and cited text.

Can I use reports my team has already purchased?

Yes. API and MCP access use your team’s property unlocks. You can list unlocked properties and retrieve their reports. Unlocking the same property again does not spend another credit. Your integration and the PropCode app share the team’s access and allowances.

Can I try the planning API for free?

Yes. Sign in and open Integrations & API to get a test key. Test keys can read Pro reports for three sample properties without buying credits. Generating Rapid Planning Reports requires a live key and an unlocked property. Samples let you inspect the actual response structure before connecting your own workflow.

What are the costs and usage limits?

MCP and API access are included at no extra integration cost with single-property, Property Pack and Max Plan purchases. Unlocking a new property uses the team’s credits or daily allowance; reading an unlocked report costs nothing extra.

Requests also have technical rate and concurrency limits, documented in the API reference. Contact us to discuss higher volumes.

Can I put PropCode’s answers in a customer-facing product?

Tell us what you want to display, who will use it and the expected volume. We can discuss the appropriate access and licensing for your product. Customer-facing distribution and reuse need to be considered under the applicable terms, alongside the technical integration.

What would you like your workflow to do?

Tell us what starts the check, which planning answers you need and where the results should go. We’ll help you assess how PropCode fits.

PropCode may contact you about your integration enquiry.
