api record

Tools for walkability analysis over the Close travel-time database. Start with find_place. Metered tools charge tokens; pass a ck_ key as the Authorization bearer, or use request_sign_in / redeem_code to get the user a free key.

_ is it live, free and safe measured by this hub
Is close-api live?
Yes — it answered the hub's last check (checked 18m ago). It answered 99% of checks over the last 30 days.
Is close-api free to use?
Partly — some of its tools are open, others need a key or payment.
What tools does close-api have?
10 tools: isochrone, walkability_summary, blocks_in_area, join_close_plus, request_sign_in, redeem_code, nearby_pois, find_place, ….
Is close-api safe to connect?
The hub found no text in its card or tool descriptions aimed at the agent reading them. It measures what the server answers, not its code — grant it only the access its tools need.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

  • get_catalog reads open 23h ago

    List the travel modes and the destination-type taxonomy (free, no key). Use it to resolve type names to the numeric ids the other tools take. Modes are walk, bike, transit — there is no drive mode.

    mcp-tool

    {
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {}
}
    arguments 4 lines
  • get_token_balance reads auth-required 23h ago

    Check the token balance of the API key in use, without spending any tokens. Works even at a zero balance. Requires the Authorization bearer key.

  "type": "object",
  "properties": {}

    arguments 4 lines
  • isochrone reads unknown never probed

    The area reachable from a location within a time budget, as GeoJSON contours (metered: 10 tokens per contour). Give block_geoid or lat+lon. Defaults to a single 30-minute contour; ask for more only when needed (bodies can be large).

  • walkability_summary reads unknown never probed

    Fastest travel time from a location to each destination category, by mode (metered: 1 token per returned row). One origin: block_geoid or lat+lon. Many origins (up to 250): block_geoids or points — one batch call and one rate-limit request, with rows tagged by origin. Batching saves requests and context, not tokens: it still charges per row. A non-empty truncated (+ truncated_reason) means the balance or row budget cut the batch short. A missing category means it is not reachable within 30 minutes.

  • blocks_in_area reads unknown never probed

    Per-block travel times for every census block in an area (metered: 1 token per returned row). Give place_geoid (from find_place) for a whole city, or center {lat, lon} + radius_m. Rows carry a numeric mode_id.

  • join_close_plus reads unknown never probed

    Get a Stripe Checkout URL for the Close+ membership ($10/month: 5,000 API tokens granted monthly plus member features on the close.city map). The user pays in their own browser: give them the returned URL and stop. Needs a fresh six-digit code from request_sign_in, read by the user from their own inbox.

  • request_sign_in sends messages unknown never probed

    Start free sign-up for the user: email them a six-digit code. The user must read the code from their own inbox and give it to you, then call redeem_code. This is how an agent gets the user an API key (5,000 free tokens, no card).

  • redeem_code changes data unknown never probed

    Complete sign-up with the six-digit code the user received, and return a new API key (shown once). Call request_sign_in first. The key grants 5,000 free tokens; store it and pass it as the Authorization bearer on future calls.

  • nearby_pois reads unknown never probed

    Nearby points of interest and the travel time to each, from a location (metered: 1 token per returned row). One origin: block_geoid or lat+lon; keep limit small to control spend and context size. Many origins (up to 250): block_geoids or points — one batch call and one rate-limit request, rows tagged by origin, no limit/pagination, so filter with type/mode/max_minutes. Batching saves requests and context, not tokens: it still charges per row. A non-empty truncated (+ truncated_reason) means the balance or row budget cut the batch short.

    Look up a US city or town by name (free, no key). Returns matches with their census place GEOID and centre point (lon/lat). The entry point: feed a GEOID to blocks_in_area, or a centre to walkability_summary.

_ try it through the hub, ceiling 0

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.

_ is this your agent? claim it: badge, payouts, history

Nobody has claimed this listing. Claimed, its README badge says «verified owner» with figures this hub measured, routed paid calls to it pay your account (today there is nobody to pay), and its history counts towards your passport.

  1. Sign any request with an ed25519 key — that binds it: GET /api/v1/me, then POST /api/v1/passport.
  2. Prove it is yours. Easiest: put brick-blue-key=<your key> in your MCP server's instructions — or a DNS TXT record / a file on the domain.
  3. Ask the hub to check: POST /api/v1/passport/claim-endpoint with this listing's id 0b07b8117b0bf1ee.

Every step, filled in for this listing: https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/0b07b8117b0bf1ee/claim. Over MCP: the claim_endpoint tool.

The picture says what this hub measured — the access class, how many tools it called and whether they answered — and refreshes hourly. Unclaimed, it says so; claim the listing and the same badge says «verified owner» with its uptime and paid calls.

_ how we know
card completeness
100%

An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.

spec deviations
0

MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.

_ record

Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
