# ZoningVerdict > Plain-language summaries of municipal zoning ordinances. Every rule and > answer carries its chapter/section citation and a link to the official > ordinance text. ZoningVerdict summarizes public zoning regulations for information purposes. It is not legal advice, professional architectural or engineering services, or a substitute for confirmation with the municipality. Regulations change; verify before acting. Positioning: Records tell you what's on file; ZoningVerdict tells you what the ordinance actually says, independently verified, with the citation. Operator: Verified Signals LLC.

Brief pages are tokened and not for crawling. ## For developers and agents Generated tool schemas: https://zoningverdict.com/agent-integrations/openai-tools.json and https://zoningverdict.com/agent-integrations/claude-tools.json. MCP package source: https://github.com/verifiedsignals/zoningverdict/tree/main/packages/mcp No-wallet access: MCP issue_free_api_key or POST /api/v1/keys/free gives the same 100 free metered calls per UTC month, without paid overages. Accept current terms and supply a private random 64-character hex client_nonce. One issuance per egress per month; key expires next UTC month. Compiled Preflights and monitoring are excluded. Recommended machine flow: coverage (free) → resolve ($0.01) → create_preflight ($3 USDC via x402). POST https://zoningverdict.com/api/v1/preflights or MCP create_preflight with address, structured taxonomy-v2 intent and a fresh random request_id. Returns durable workflow_id and access_token; poll GET https://zoningverdict.com/api/v1/preflights?workflow_id=... using Authorization: Bearer , or MCP get_preflight_status. Successful compilation returns VerdictResult, cited provisions, approval gate path, evidence bundle and JWS. Pack gaps are refused without settlement. Paid Preflight coverage is narrower than general coverage. Retain request_id for retries; never pay again for a workflow in payment_review. Optional subscribe_to_twin costs $1 for 30 days, without automatic renewal. Poll get_twin_updates or GET https://zoningverdict.com/api/v1/twins with the original Preflight workflow handle and after_version cursor for signed Impact Updates. - API: published municipalities, districts, structured rules, and reviewed Q&A with citations, plus address-to-district resolution. Docs at https://zoningverdict.com/developers, OpenAPI at https://zoningverdict.com/api/v1/openapi.json. Self-serve keys at https://zoningverdict.com/api-access (100 calls free per month, then usage-based). - Agent discovery: https://zoningverdict.com/skill.md, https://zoningverdict.com/.well-known/agent-card.json, and https://zoningverdict.com/.well-known/ai-tool/index.json. - Free coverage preflight: GET https://zoningverdict.com/api/v1/coverage/check?q=... or MCP check_coverage. This returns coverage, topics, pack version, and last-reviewed date without resolving a parcel district. - MCP server at https://zoningverdict.com/api/mcp (streamable HTTP): check_coverage, list_municipalities, list_districts, get_district_rules, ask_zoning_question, resolve_parcel_district. Rules and questions have a no-key trial of 3 calls per day per municipality. For address resolution, use the free coverage preflight first, then the keyed MCP tool or paid REST resolver. Answers summarize public regulations for information, carry citations, the pack version, an ordinance source link, and a last-reviewed date, and always recommend confirming with the municipality before acting. The paid brief is not exposed as a tool. - Agent payments (x402 v2): rules and questions give keyless callers 3 trial calls per day per municipality, then accept one-cent payments. Parcel resolve is pay-per-call from the first unsigned request; call the free coverage preflight first. When payment is due the API returns HTTP 402 with a PAYMENT-REQUIRED header: $0.01 in USDC on Base per call, exact scheme. Send payment in the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header; the settlement transaction returns in the PAYMENT-RESPONSE header. Details at https://zoningverdict.com/developers. ### Recommended call flow (address-first) Never guess district codes. With a street address: 1. paid resolve_parcel_district { address: "132 W Main St, Gallatin, TN 37066" } -> municipality slug + district_code (lookup method disclosed) 2. get_district_rules { municipality, district, topic: "fences" } -> rules with citations and source links 3. ask_zoning_question { municipality, query: "how tall can my fence be" } -> a reviewed answer with citations, or the topics that do have answers Without an address: list_municipalities -> list_districts { municipality } -> get_district_rules. The listing tools are free and keyless. Every empty result carries a note naming the valid codes or covered topics, so the next call can succeed. ### Coverage Covered municipality slugs come from list_municipalities (MCP) or GET https://zoningverdict.com/api/v1/municipalities (free, keyless); the current list is the Municipalities section above. Use check_coverage or GET https://zoningverdict.com/api/v1/coverage/check?q=... before a paid parcel resolve when you only need coverage status. Topics: permitted_uses, special_land_uses, setbacks, height, lot_coverage, lot_size, parking, adu, accessory_structures, fences, signs, home_occupation, variance_process. ### Freshness Every municipality's pack version, content counts, and last-reviewed date are public at https://zoningverdict.com/coverage. Content events (publications, pack updates, published rule changes) are at https://zoningverdict.com/changelog and as free keyless JSON at GET https://zoningverdict.com/api/v1/changelog — check data vintage without a paid call.
