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 Pro+ and above, 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 (Pro+)
- 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 Pro+ ($100/mo).

Common questions from developers.
How is the REST API priced?
The REST API is a standalone subscription — Build ($20/mo for 1K calls), Scale ($100/mo for 10K calls), or Enterprise ($500/mo for 100K calls). Each search, autocomplete, batch, and maps endpoint is priced separately. See the /api page for details.
Do the SDKs handle the Texas TXSS abstract system too?
Yes. The Python and TypeScript SDKs expose the same resolver as the REST API — a PLSS section or a TXSS abstract both work as a query input. The /api/energy/* endpoints in the Energy Pack accept the same input on either system.
Is there an MCP server for AI agent integration?
Yes — Pro+ and above include 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.
