The Montreal Construction Oracle is a specialized Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides structured, real-time access to building permit data from the City of Montreal.
Instead of manually digging through messy government CSVs, this server allows AI agents (like Claude, ChatGPT, or custom enterprise bots) to instantly query high-value construction leads, renovation trends, and urban development data.
Server tool list (4)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| get_recent_permits | Return building permits issued in the given Montreal borough within the last N days. Borough matching is case-insensitive and supports partial names (e.g. 'plateau' matches 'Le Plateau-Mont-Royal'). |
| get_high_value_permits | Return large-scale building permits filtered by estimated work cost. NOTE: the Montreal Open Data CSV does not currently publish the 'cout_travaux_estimes' column. This tool uses 'nb_logements' (housing unit count) as a scale proxy: min_cost is divided by 100 000 to derive the minimum unit threshold. Results are sorted largest-first. The tool will automatically switch to real cost data if the column appears in a future dataset update. |
| list_boroughs | List all 19 distinct borough (arrondissement) names found in the permit dataset. Use the returned names as input to get_recent_permits(). |
| reload_data | Clear the session cache and re-download the permit CSV from the Montreal Open Data portal. Useful if the dataset has been updated since the server started. |
