### Description (declared)

# landuse-mcp

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for retrieving land use data for given geographical locations using the National Land Cover Database (NLCD) and other geospatial datasets.

## Features

- **Land Cover Data**: Retrieve detailed land cover classifications for any coordinate
- **Soil Type Information**: Get FAO soil type classifications for geographical points
- **Temporal Data**: Access available dates for land use data at specific locations
- **MCP Integration**: Full Model Context Protocol support for AI agents
- **Geospatial Processing**: Built on robust geospatial libraries for accurate data retrieval

## Quick Start

```bash
# Install dependencies and set up development environment
make dev

# Run the MCP server
make server

# Run tests
make test-coverage

# Demo functionality
make demo
```

## Installation

### From PyPI (Recommended)

```bash
# Install with uvx
uvx landuse-mcp
```

### From Source

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/justaddcoffee/landuse-mcp.git
cd landuse-mcp

# Install in development mode
make dev
```

## Usage

### Command Line Interface

```bash
# Run the MCP server
landuse-mcp

# Or using uv
uv run landuse-mcp
```

### Python API

```python
from landuse_mcp.main import get_land_cover, get_soil_type, get_landuse_dates

# Get land cover data for Death Valley
land_cover = get_land_cover(36.5322649, -116.9325408, "2001-01-01", "2002-01-01")
print(land_cover)

# Get soil type for a location
soil_type = get_soil_type(32.95047, -87.393259)
print(soil_type)  # e.g., "Cambisols"

# Get available dates for land use data
dates = get_landuse_dates(36.5322649, -116.9325408)
print(dates)  # List of available dates
```

### Testing MCP Protocol

```bash
# Test MCP handshake
make test-mcp

# Extended MCP testing
make test-mcp-extended
```
