Ask your AI.
It checks Duly.

MCP is an open standard that lets AI apps like ChatGPT and Claude use tools from other services. Connect Duly once, and your assistant can look up New Zealand neighbourhood maps, flood evidence, mortgage numbers and your own Duly reports while you chat.

Free with a Duly account. 21 read-only tools. You choose what each app can use.

Example conversation. You ask: “What’s within a 10-minute walk of 14 Tūī Lane, Henderson, Auckland? Schools first.” Your AI app uses resolve_location and find_nearby_amenities, then answers: “Two primary schools and an intermediate are within 800 m. The closest park is a 4-minute walk, and there’s a supermarket 650 m away.” Sources: Ministry of Education, OpenStreetMap.

  • list_flood_layersChecks which council layers cover it

The house footprint is outside both. Missing data isn’t proof of no risk, so check the LIM.” Sources: Auckland Council overland flow paths, Auckland Council flood prone areas.

The numbers

Mortgage repayments, current advertised rates and the running costs of owning a home.

“Compare repayments on $720k with $180k down over 25 years, at the best one- and two-year rates.”

At 5.19% for two years, about $1,484. These are estimates, not a lending offer.” Sources: Advertised bank rates, Duly mortgage calculator.
