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 ($40/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 product — search, autocomplete, batch, maps, and the Energy, Federal Land, and Texas data and tile APIs (from $50/mo) — 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 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.
