Atlasly
Parallel Labs · Productivity
Atlasly is an AI-powered site analysis and feasibility tool that turns a single UK address into a structured site intelligence report. It pulls planning constraints, flood risk, heritage, ecology, terrain, and 3D building context into one workflow so architects, planners, and developers can screen a site before a project brief hardens. You can export the results into CAD, BIM, and GIS formats, or ask site questions through Atlas AI and a compatible assistant connected over MCP.
About Atlasly
What Is Atlasly
Atlasly is a web-based site analysis platform built for the early, evidence-led stage of a project. Instead of jumping between planning portals, public mapping services, policy PDFs, and terrain datasets, you enter an address or draw a study area and get the relevant layers assembled in one place. The point isn't to give a yes or no on whether land can be developed. It gives you a traceable starting point and a clearer set of questions to investigate.
The tool is honestly scoped. Atlasly says plainly that it doesn't replace a measured survey, a title review, a legal opinion, or a formal flood risk assessment. A mapped constraint helps you spot risk early. It doesn't settle the design response. That framing matters. A site intelligence report is decision support, not sign-off.
Its standout angle? It plugs into the tools teams already use. Public MCP access means you can query Atlasly from Claude, ChatGPT, and other compatible clients, so UK site due diligence can happen inside a chat you're already having. Paid plans add financial calculators, scoring, viewshed tools, and exports in formats like DXF, DWG, SKP, GLB, IFC, and GeoJSON.
Getting Started
- Create a free Starter account on the Atlasly site. No credit card is required to start.
- Enter an address, drop a location point, or draw your own study area, then pick the analysis radius you need (up to 2 km on Starter).
- Run the analysis and review the returned layers: planning constraints, flood, heritage, ecology, terrain, transport, and surrounding 3D building context.
- Save the analysis and export it as a PDF or PNG. On Professional and above, export to CAD, BIM, and geospatial formats.
- Ask follow-up questions through Atlas AI, or connect a compatible assistant over MCP to keep working in chat.

Key features
One-Click Site Intelligence Reports
Enter an address or draw a boundary and Atlasly assembles the relevant layers in one pass: planning constraints, flood risk, heritage designations, ecology, land use, transport, and terrain. Each finding keeps its source context, so you can see where a polygon came from and what it doesn't prove. Read it fast. Question it hard.
Planning and Policy Context
The tool pulls mapped land use, designations, and relevant local policy references against the site. It doesn't hand you a permission or an entitlement. What it does is surface the planning questions worth investigating. That's exactly what you want before a brief locks down.
Terrain and 3D Site Context
Atlasly returns elevation data, contours, surrounding building footprints, and height attributes so you can frame levels, slopes, massing, and neighbouring development. It flags whether dimensions are measured, recorded, or estimated, and it reminds you that a terrain view isn't survey accuracy.
CAD, BIM, and Geospatial Exports
On Professional and higher, you can export site context in DXF, DWG, SKP, GLB, IFC, OBJ, KMZ, GeoJSON, Shapefile, and SVG. That means the analysis doesn't die in the browser. It moves into the design software your practice already runs.
Atlas AI and MCP Chat Access
Atlas AI answers site questions in the app. Public MCP access is the more interesting part: it lets you connect Atlasly to Claude, ChatGPT, and compatible clients, so site due diligence can run inside a chat. Beginners will find the in-app chat easier; the MCP route rewards anyone already living in an AI assistant.
Financial Calculators and Scoring
Professional plans add concept renders, financial calculators, scoring, and viewshed tools. These are aimed at comparing options rather than producing a final appraisal, but they save you building a rough pro-forma from scratch.
Built-In Limits and Source Transparency
Every output carries its coverage date and boundary assumptions. Atlasly states outright that early screening doesn't replace a measured survey, formal assessment, or specialist advice. That honesty is a feature. It keeps you from treating a mapped layer as a legal fact.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Brings planning, environmental, terrain, and 3D context into a single workflow instead of five tabs.
- Free Starter plan covers 5 saved analyses a month with no credit card, so you can test it on a real site.
- MCP access lets you use Atlasly from Claude or ChatGPT, which fits teams already working in AI assistants.
- Wide export range (DXF, DWG, IFC, GLB, GeoJSON) keeps the evidence usable in design software.
- Source-linked findings and stated coverage dates make the output auditable, and the tool is upfront about what it can't do.
Cons
- UK-focused coverage. Data layers vary by jurisdiction, so sites outside the UK may return thin or missing results.
- CAD and BIM exports and the larger analysis radius (10 km) sit behind the £49/month Professional plan, so the free tier is genuinely limited for real project work.
- Public MCP access and paid export entitlements are separate, which takes a moment to untangle when you first set things up.
- It won't substitute for a flood risk assessment or a measured survey, so teams expecting a single answer from one click will be disappointed.
Frequently asked questions
Atlasly takes a UK address or site boundary and assembles early-stage site evidence into one report: planning constraints, flood risk, heritage, ecology, terrain, transport, and 3D building context. It's a screening and briefing tool, not a replacement for surveys or formal assessments.
