What is Bucky?

Bucky turns an address into sourced site intelligence, feasibility, and a decision you can defend — before you commit time, fees, or capital.

Bucky is the pre-development platform that turns an address into sourced site intelligence, project analysis, and decision-ready deliverables. It brings parcel and ownership data, zoning and entitlement rules, and feasibility math into one workspace — so you can reach a defensible go/no-go before you commit significant time, consultant fees, option money, or capital.

The problem it solves

Pre-development decisions depend on facts scattered across parcel records, zoning maps, ordinance text, and institutional memory. Assembling a sourced go/no-go can take days or weeks of manual work. Bucky connects the parcel, the applicable zoning, and the feasibility math into one sourced read, with a citation attached to what it can source.

What you can do

  • Screen a site on the map — use Project Scout to explore blocks, compare options, and kill weak sites before you commit to a project.
  • Read a parcel — lot dimensions, boundaries, and the zoning that applies to it.
  • Understand the rules — see what a parcel's zoning constrains, in plain terms, with a citation back to the bylaw.
  • Check feasibility — a defensible read on whether a project is viable before you commit further.
  • Carry the record forward — decide who sees the project, then produce a cited deliverable for the next decision maker.

Who it's for

Development, design, and planning teams

Developers, design-builders, architects, and planning consultants running pre-development work.

Developers and agents

Integrate over MCP, the CLI, and the prepaid site check. The generated HTTP API reference is not shipped yet.

Homeowners evaluating a residential build, and professionals discoverable through the marketplace, work in the same product on a smaller scale.

How you use it

Bucky meets you where you work:

  • A web application for hands-on planning — including BuckyAssist and Project Scout on the map. See Prompting BuckyAssist.
  • Bucky for Chrome — lot, zone, permitted uses, and a sourced envelope beside a listing tab, from the Chrome Web Store. See Bucky for Chrome.
  • Native iOS on TestFlight.
  • An MCP server for agents, covering reads, project writes, and report export — see MCP and the tool reference.
  • A command-line interface for scripting and local workflows — see CLI.
  • A prepaid REST site check — POST|GET /api/v1/sites/check is documented on API. The generated per-endpoint HTTP reference is not shipped yet.

Bucky is decision support, not a permit, appraisal, or professional certification. Coverage expands jurisdiction by jurisdiction — check what's cited vs. unverified for your address.
