GovBot Community Designations is a remote, read-only MCP server operated by Ideation Lab, Corp. It requires no account. It reports which federal designated areas contain an address, a point or a census tract, read live from the agencies' own map services, each result with its publishing agency, layer, designation year and retrieval time. What it returns: - HUD Qualified Census Tracts and Difficult Development Areas for the current designation year, with the tract, ZIP Code Tabulation Area or county that carries the designation. - Qualified Opportunity Zones designated in 2018 (2010 census tracts) and the tracts on the 2027 Opportunity Zone nomination eligibility list (2020 census tracts). - USDA Rural Development area maps: whether a location is inside an area mapped as ineligible by population for the housing, business, Intermediary Relending, Community Facilities, Water and Environmental, Electric and OneRD Guarantee programs. - Lists of designated tracts in a state or county, and the official name, administering agency, purpose, vintage and source page of each designation. Typical use: check the designations of a site or tract before reading a program's own rules, or list the designated tracts in a county. How results are qualified: a designation is not a program eligibility determination; designations change by year, and program rules, applications and final determinations are with the administering agency. Geocoded addresses are positions interpolated along street address ranges, not parcels. Not affiliated with HUD, USDA, the Treasury, the Census Bureau or any government agency. The server writes nothing.
