Regrid MCP, reviewed
The Regrid MCP is official and connects Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor to over 160 million US parcels. You get boundaries, owners, mailing addresses, land use, assessed values and building footprints.
Verdict
- Best for: land and ownership questions across a county. Who owns these parcels, how big, what zoning, where the lines are.
- Official or community: official, hosted by Regrid at support.regrid.com/mcp.
- Price: the MCP is free; parcel data needs a Regrid API plan.
- Watch out for: each parcel returned uses quota. Regrid's terms require turning off model training and data sharing in your AI account first.
- What it doesn't do: no phone numbers, distress signals or outreach.
What it is: parcel lines and owners, nationwide
Regrid is a national parcel data company. The server turns your plain-English question into a Regrid REST API call with your token, and returns structured parcel data.
A parcel record includes, depending on your plan:
- Parcel boundaries (the shape of the lot on a map) and area
- Owner name and mailing address
- Assessed value, tax and sale information
- Land use and zoning (standardized zoning is an add-on)
- Matched building footprints and secondary addresses (add-ons)
Setup
The server address is https://support.regrid.com/mcp. Regrid recommends passing your token as a header so it never appears in a chat.
- Create a Regrid account and generate an API token (trial tokens are issued on sign-up).
- Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user regrid https://support.regrid.com/mcp -H "Authorization: Bearer ${REGRID_TOKEN}", with the token in an environment variable. - Claude Desktop: the Connectors screen only supports OAuth sign-in, with no header field. Regrid says to add it to the config file through the
mcp-remotebridge. - Before you start: turn off model training and data sharing in your AI app's settings.
Regrid also advises limit=1 while you test, and a short-lived token with AI tools.
Price
- MCP: free to connect.
- Parcel data: needs a Regrid API plan.
- Self-serve prices: not published on the pages we could load.
- More than 10,000 records a month: enterprise licensing, by quote.
Billing is per parcel returned. A search that returns 500 parcels uses 500 records of quota.
Limits
- Records, not contacts. Owner name and mailing address, no phone numbers or emails.
- No distress signals. It won't flag pre-foreclosures, probate or tax delinquency.
- Assessed value, not market value. For market value you need a valuation server.
- Quota burns quietly. Broad prompts return many parcels.
- No outreach. It doesn't save contacts, text or track deals.
Who should use it
- Land investors and developers working with lot lines, acreage and zoning.
- Investors building absentee-owner or out-of-state-owner lists by county, who'll skip trace separately.
- Teams already licensing Regrid data who want to query it in plain English.

Questions
Does Regrid have an MCP server? Yes, an official one at support.regrid.com/mcp, documented on Regrid's support site.
Can I use it for free? It connects free and answers documentation questions without a token, and Regrid offers a 30-day free sandbox for parcel data.
Why do I have to turn off model training? Regrid's terms require it before using its data with any AI tool, so the data isn't used to train models.
