A remote MCP server providing Washington State construction rules, GIS zoning lookups, and contractor verifications without API keys.
claude mcp add --transport http kolmo-mcp-server https://www.kolmo.io/mcpWhat kolmo-mcp-server does
This integration connects your AI assistant to building codes across King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties. The tools parse municipal and state requirements, pull zoning boundaries directly from county GIS maps, and deliver answers backed by specific municipal citations.
The server operates remotely over HTTP at https://www.kolmo.io/mcp without authentication. It handles live Washington L&I license and bond lookups for local contractors. For properties around Seattle, it calculates remodeling estimates across 20 distinct project types, splitting expenses between labor and materials.
Local boundaries dictate its usefulness. Outside Washington state jurisdictions, these building regulations and pricing models do not apply.
What it helps with
- verify building permit requirements for a parcel address
- inspect contractor license and bond standing via L&I
- calculate Seattle remodel costs with labor and material splits
- query county GIS data for property zoning and setbacks
Example prompts for the agent
- Check whether adding a detached garage requires a permit at this King County address
- Look up the L&I license, bond, and insurance records for this Washington contractor
- Estimate the construction cost for a kitchen remodel in Seattle
