GovBot Structure Inventory

GovBot Structure Inventory is a remote, read-only MCP server operated by Ideation Lab, Corp. It requires no account. It reads the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers National Structure Inventory (NSI 2026 Base) live and returns area summaries with the source, dataset version and retrieval time.

What it returns:

• Area summaries for a bounding box, a radius around a point, or a 2020 county, census tract or block group: structure counts by occupancy type, damage category, building type, foundation type and stories; floor area; estimated housing units.
• Model-based replacement-cost estimates for the area (depreciated and full structure, contents, vehicles; August 2025 price level), as totals and medians.
• Daytime and nighttime population estimates by age group.
• A bounded sample of structure records near a point, with locations rounded and without value or population fields.
• NSI occupancy codes, field definitions and documented limitations.

Typical use: describe the building stock and population exposure of a neighborhood, tract or county for planning and mitigation work.

How results are qualified: NSI is a modeled national inventory with known errors for individual structures; counts, values and populations are estimates; values are replacement cost, not market value, and exclude land. Areas are bounded and an area over a limit is reported, not partially summarized. No owner or address data. Not for appraisal, insurance, flood-zone or eligibility determinations. Not affiliated with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The server writes nothing.
