Falling Tree Risk Server

A remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides vegetation risk intelligence for any US property address. Assess tree-fall exposure using satellite canopy data, NOAA storm history, soil analysis, and calibrated probability scoring.

Tools

get_falling_tree_risk

Returns a complete vegetation risk profile for a given US property address:

• Risk level — Very Low, Low, Medium, High, or Very High
• Annual probability range — calibrated low/high bounds for tree fall on the property
• Peak wind speed — highest recorded wind speed in the last 2 years (km/h)
• Max 24-hour rainfall — heaviest 24-hour precipitation in the last 2 years (mm)
• Ice storms per year — average annual ice storm frequency
• Vegetation density — satellite-derived canopy density (Sparse, Moderate, Dense)
• Tree health trend — NDVI-based health trajectory (improving, stable, declining)
• Roofline canopy overhang — percentage of roof area under tree canopy
• Soil type — USDA soil series name
• Soil drainage class — drainage rating affecting root stability
• Soil uprooting risk — overall uprooting risk from soil conditions (Low, Moderate, High)

Setup

1. Get an API key

Sign up at fallingtreerisk.com/api-access to get your API key. The first 10 API calls each month are free — no credit card required.

2. Configure your MCP client

Claude Desktop / Claude Code

Add to your MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fallingtreerisk": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://mcp.fallingtreerisk.com",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor / Other MCP clients

Use the remote server URL https://mcp.fallingtreerisk.com with your API key in the X-API-Key header.

Use Cases

• Insurance underwriting — screen properties for tree-fall exposure before quoting
• Real estate due diligence — assess vegetation risk for buyers and agents
• Property management — identify high-risk trees near structures
• AI assistants — give LLMs access to property-level vegetation risk data

Error Handling

The server uses standard JSON-RPC 2.0 error codes:

Code	Meaning	Description
-32601	Method Not Found	Unknown MCP method or tool
-32602	Invalid Params	Missing or invalid address
-32603	Internal Error	Server-side failure or weather data still loading (retry in 10-15s)

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Cause	Fix
API key is required	Missing X-API-Key header	Add your API key to the request headers
Invalid API key	Key is wrong or deactivated	Verify at fallingtreerisk.com/api-access
Weather data is being fetched	First query for this location	Retry in 10-15 seconds
No response / timeout	Network issue	Verify connectivity to https://mcp.fallingtreerisk.com
