mcp-monumenten 0.1.0

MCP server voor monumentale statussen in Nederland.

Monumenten MCP Server 🏛️

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants to check monumental status of Dutch addresses. Connects to the Dutch BAG (Basisadministratie Adressen en Gebouwen) data and Ministry of Cultural Heritage (Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed) to identify national monuments, protected cityscapes, and municipal monuments.

[!NOTE] This MCP server is based on the monumenten package. For more information, see the monumenten package.

What This Does

This MCP server allows AI assistants to:

• 🏠 Find verblijfsobject IDs - Convert Dutch addresses to BAG identifiers (verblijfsobject_id)
• 🏛️ Check monumental status - Determine if a property is protected as cultural heritage
• 📍 Support flexible address input - Search by postal code + house number or full address
• 🔍 Handle address variations - Support house letters and suffixes (30A, 30-2, etc.)

Available Tools

Usage Examples

Finding Monumental Status

"What is the monumental status of Coolsingel 30, Rotterdam?"

The AI will:

1. Convert the address to a BAG verblijfsobject ID
2. Check monument registries
3. Report rijksmonument status, protected cityscape inclusion, or municipal monument designation

"Is 1234AB 30-2 a rijksmonument?"

The AI can handle:

• Postal code + house number format
• House number suffixes (30-2, 30A, etc.)
• Direct verblijfsobject ID lookups

Address Flexibility

The server handles Dutch address formats:

• 1234AB 30 - Basic postal code + house number
• 1234AB 30-2 - With house number suffix
• 1234AB 30A - With house letter
• Coolsingel 30, Rotterdam - Full street address
