Help & How to use

• Search bar — jump to an address, village, Makaan number, or registration number.
• Type chips — switch between All, Land and House / Building.
• Status — filter by For Sale, Tokened, In Process, Sold, Not Listed (see legend).
• Distance — limit the map to a radius around your location.
• Base layer chips (below the search) — Map / Satellite / Hybrid / Terrain.
• Locate icon (bottom-right) — recentres on your current location.
• Floating side rail — drag handle, audio guide, history, live signal and voice mic.

• Primary flow: tap → WMS GetFeatureInfo → Khasra → Bhulekh RoR → owner & area.
• Fallback: if Bhunaksha is slow or down, the same panel offers a manual Khasra search.
• Already-listed plots: in Verify mode, tapping a registered parcel still runs the verify flow instead of opening its preview.
• Coverage: Phase 1 supports Haldwani tehsil (Nainital). Other Uttarakhand tehsils are coming next.

1. Sign in, then tap List property (top nav, or + on mobile).
2. Allow location, or search a place to recenter the map at the parcel's location.
3. Draw the boundary polygon — tap points around the plot, then close the shape by tapping the first point.
4. Fill title, price, area (auto-computed from the polygon), status, photos, and contact preferences.
5. Submit — your listing appears on the map immediately.

Manage your own listings any time from My listings — edit price/status, mark as sold, or remove.

• Open any parcel → Claim ownership to submit a claim with documents (RoR, sale deed, ID).
• Admins review claims; approved owners appear in the parcel's ownership chain.
• View the full historic chain from the parcel detail page or open /parcels/<id>/chain directly.
• Track the status of your own claims in My claims.
• Prior-owner request: if you owned the plot before it was listed here, submit a prior-owner request from the chain page so admins can stitch your tenure into the chain.

1. From a parcel you own, tap Transfer and enter the buyer's email / phone, agreed price, and any token.
2. The buyer gets a notification and can Accept or Reject from Inbox.
3. On accept, the parcel moves to the buyer and the ownership chain updates automatically.
4. Either party can cancel a pending transfer; admins can force-cancel stuck transfers if needed.

• Record renters / lessees against a parcel from the Tenancies page.
• Set start / end dates, rent, and notes. Tenancies show up on the parcel's history view.

• My history shows every parcel you've owned, transferred or rented, in order.
• The bell icon in the top nav surfaces claim approvals, incoming transfers, and admin replies. Tap to mark as read.

• Profile — display name, photo, phone, and visibility preferences.
• Account — wallet, payment history, and the AI-assistant connector panel (see next section).

Land Compass exposes itself as an MCP server so you can talk to the app from Claude Desktop, the ChatGPT desktop app, or any other MCP-aware assistant — ask it to list your parcels, search public listings, or start a transfer, and it will do it through your account (with your approval for any write).

Option A — One-click OAuth (recommended)

1. Open your assistant's Custom connectors / MCP servers settings.
2. Paste this server URL: https://landcompass.co.in/api/public/mcp
3. The assistant will register itself automatically (Dynamic Client Registration) and open the Land Compass Authorize screen. Sign in if needed, review the scopes, and click Allow.
4. You'll be redirected back to your assistant — the Land Compass tools will appear in its tool list.

Option B — Personal API token (for scripts / power users)

1. Go to Account → Connect to AI Assistants.
2. Click Generate token, give it a name, and copy the lc_pat_… value (you'll only see it once).
3. In your assistant, add a custom MCP server with header Authorization: Bearer lc_pat_….

What the assistant can do

• Read (no approval): your parcels, a parcel's details, ownership chain, your transfers, your profile.
• Public search: search listed parcels, geocode an address, run Bhulekh / Bhunaksha lookups.
• Writes (always prompts you for approval in the assistant): create a parcel, initiate / reject a transfer, submit a prior-owner request.

Revoke a token or an OAuth connection any time from Account → Connect to AI Assistants.

• The mic button on the left rail starts voice commands — e.g. "show land for sale within 5 km" or "open parcel 1234".
• The first time you visit, an onboarding tour walks through the main controls. Tap Skip any time, or re-open it from this Help page below.

• The map is blank / stuck on satellite imagery. Check your connection, then reload — base tiles are fetched from Google / Bhunaksha and need network access.
• Verify plot says "no Khasra here". Tap a slightly different point inside the same plot, or use the manual Khasra search in the same panel.
• I'm not getting transfer notifications. Open Profile and confirm your email / phone are verified.
• Claude / ChatGPT can't connect. Make sure you used the URL /api/public/mcp (not /api/mcp) and that you completed the Authorize screen.
• I lost my API token. You can't retrieve it — revoke the old one in Account and generate a new one.
