vicpropertycheck 0.1.1

Victorian property due diligence — MCP server, CLI, and skill backend (planning, bushfire, crime, housing, facilities)

vicpropertycheck

Victorian (Australia) property due diligence — three things in one Python package:

1. MCP server (vic-property-mcp) — exposes property tools to MCP-aware clients.
2. CLI (vic-property) — same tools as subcommands, for shell/script use.
3. Skill backend — drives the vic-property-check Claude Code skill (see skill/SKILL.md).

All three share the same providers, cache, and config:

• VicMap Planning ArcGIS (zones + overlays)
• VicMap Bushfire ArcGIS (BMO, prone areas)
• OpenStats (suburb crime + housing)
• Google Maps (geocoding + nearby places) — direct API key or hosted proxy with Firebase sign-in

Install

pipx install vicpropertycheck

This puts vic-property-mcp (server) and vic-property (CLI) on your PATH.

CLI quick start

# VIC government APIs need no auth — these work out of the box:
vic-property planning  --lat -37.8113 --lon 144.9737
vic-property bushfire  --lat -37.8113 --lon 144.9737
vic-property crime     --suburb "Melbourne"

# Google-backed commands need either:
#   (a) export GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY=...     (self-hosted)
#   (b) vic-property login                 (paste blob from vicpropertycheck.com.au/skill-auth)
vic-property summarize --address "1 Spring St, Melbourne VIC 3000" --pretty

Every subcommand emits one JSON object on stdout. Errors come back as {"error": "...", "code": "..."} with a non-zero exit code.

MCP server

vic-property-mcp                            # stdio transport (default)
VIC_PROPERTY_TRANSPORT__MODE=http vic-property-mcp   # HTTP on :8080

Configuration uses the VIC_PROPERTY_ env-var prefix; see .env.example.
