# Ask your AI about planned projects

Connect Boardwalk to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP app, then ask in plain words what's planned in your counties. Boardwalk connects Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other AI tools to its map of planned real estate and construction projects, from city and county planning records, over MCP. Ask in plain words to find leads, read how a council decided, count projects, or chart a trend, or use the REST API in your own tools.
