Township America for Developers
REST API + MCP server + Python SDK for embedding PLSS → GPS conversion in land-tech products.
Engineers at land-tech, ag-tech, and GIS companies need a reliable PLSS → GPS conversion service. Township America exposes a versioned REST API (sold as standalone Build / Scale / Enterprise plans), MCP server access for AI agent workflows on Business, and Python + TypeScript SDKs.
How the workflow changes.
- Build PLSS parsing from scratch against state-by-state regulator data
- Maintain custom meridian + section polygon datasets
- Patch parsing edge cases across the 37 principal meridians
- Re-implement the same logic for Texas TXSS abstracts
- Single REST API for all PLSS states + Texas TXSS abstracts
- Python SDK + TypeScript SDK with idiomatic clients
- MCP server exposes the same surface to AI agents (Business)
- Versioned, low-latency responses backed by BLM CadNSDI polygons
Features that fit a land-tech / gis developer's day.
Each feature is plan-gated. The recommended plan for this role is Business ($60/mo).

Common questions from developers.
How is the REST API priced?
The REST API is a standalone subscription, separate from the web plans, with request tiers: Build (1,000 calls/month), Scale (10,000 calls/month), Enterprise (100,000 calls/month). Search, autocomplete, batch, and maps are priced separately, and the Land Intelligence APIs are priced per parcel report. See the /api page for current prices.
Do the SDKs handle the Texas TXSS abstract system too?
Yes. The Python and TypeScript SDKs expose the same resolver as the REST API, so a PLSS section or a TXSS abstract both work as a query input. The Energy pack add-on surfaces federal-land energy data in parcel reports for either system, and the same data is available programmatically through the standalone Energy API.
Is there an MCP server for AI agent integration?
Yes. Business includes MCP server access. Tools mirror the REST API, so an AI agent can resolve a section, fetch the polygon, and pull federal-land overlays in one tool call. See /api#mcp-server for the schema.
