The Meadowbrook Measure API

Generate a key from your account page when you want Measure inside your own tools. Address in, numbers and the marked-up image out; the same engine and cache as the web tool. Your plan's monthly requests (Standard 30, Pro 100, Max 300) pool across the web tool, the API and MCP. Already-measured properties are always free to read.

Measure

GET /v1/measure?address=509 Tanager Dr

{
  "ok": true,
  "address": "509 TANAGER DR",
  "yard_sqft": 6188,
  "yard_acres": 0.14,
  "street_strip_sqft": 703,
  "lot_parish_record_sqft": 12545,
  "boundary_edited": false,
  "edited": false,
  "changed_since_imagery": false,
  "image_url": "https://.../media/509_TANAGER_DR.png",
  "edit_url": "https://.../edit/509_TANAGER_DR",
  "coverage": "...", "vintage": "...", "disclaimer": "..."
}

An ambiguous address returns candidates; an address we can't measure honestly returns ok: false with a plain-English reason. First measurement of a property takes up to ~30 seconds; every read after that is instant.

Adjust a boundary

POST /v1/measurements/509_TANAGER_DR/boundary
{"boundary": [[[212.4, 108.9], [498.0, 121.2], ...]]}

Coordinates are pixels on the 640×640 measurement image. The server recounts everything and re-issues the sheet; street strip inside the new line converts to yard. Editing never counts against your allowance. Visual editing lives at the edit_url on every result.

Give it to your AI (MCP)

Your AI assistant can run these lookups itself. Connect it once with the address and key below; after that you just ask it things like "measure 509 Tanager Dr" and it uses our tools on its own.

Claude Code (terminal)

claude mcp add --transport http measure https://measure.meadowbrooksystems.com/mcp/ \
  --header "X-API-Key: mqt_your_key"

One command, done. Next session, ask it to measure an address.

Claude Desktop, Cursor, and most AI apps with MCP settings

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "measure": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://measure.meadowbrooksystems.com/mcp/",
      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "mqt_your_key" }
    }
  }
}

Paste into the app's MCP servers config (Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json · Claude Desktop: Settings → Developer → Edit Config). Restart the app and the tools appear.

What the assistant gets: two tools - measure_address (address in, full measurement out) and set_boundary (adjust a property line by coordinates). Same allowance, same results, same honesty lines as every other door. One-click "connectors" on claude.ai need OAuth sign-in, which we don't offer yet - use the setups above today.
