Building Permits API MCP server

Keyword research and building permit data for AI agents (MCP)

Two pay-per-use data tools that any MCP client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex…) can call. They run on Apify and are served through the official Apify MCP server: there is nothing to install or host.

Keyword Research API: search volume, CPC, difficulty, intent

Keyword search volume and the rest of Google's keyword data in bulk, in every country. A Google Keyword Planner alternative for agents, with no Google Ads account needed:

• Metrics for up to 10,000 keywords per run: search volume, 12-month history, CPC, competition, top-of-page bids, keyword difficulty, search intent, trend, AI search volume (how often the keyword comes up in AI assistants) and SERP features (AI Overview, featured snippet, People Also Ask...), plus Bing search volume on runs of 300+ keywords.
• Keyword ideas from 1 to 20 seed keywords: broad ideas, long-tail suggestions that contain the seed, or Google's related searches.
• Competitor keywords: up to 10 websites per run, with position, ranking page and estimated traffic; filter positions 4 to 20 for striking distance keywords.

Price: $2 per 1,000 keywords with data, plus $0.01 per run that returns data. Keywords without data are free. Lower prices on higher Apify plans.

• How it was built: Keyword research for AI agents: search volume, CPC and difficulty over MCP (DEV)
• Case studies (DEV): Striking distance keywords: what dev.to ranks 11 to 20 for on Google and AI search volume vs Google search volume: what 600 real keywords show

Try asking your agent:

• "Get search volume, CPC and difficulty for these 50 keywords in Germany, sorted by volume."
• "Which keywords bring competitor.com the most traffic in the UK? Show the top 30 with their ranking pages."
• "Find 200 long-tail ideas around 'standing desk' with at least 100 searches a month."

Building Permits API (US cities, France, NSW Australia, Far North NZ)

Official building permits and planning applications, normalised into one schema, with source links and licences:

• United States: issued permits from the open-data portals of New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Austin and Seattle, with the declared project value and, where published, the contractor's business name. Filter by ZIP code and keywords.
• France: SDES Sitadel housing, non-residential, development and demolition permits, including the applicant company and its SIREN when it is a legal entity.
• Australia and New Zealand: NSW Planning Portal applications and Far North District building applications.

Price: $5 per 1,000 records (lower on higher Apify plans).
