Questions

What can the AI do in Searchland?

It can search planning applications and planning documents, check planning constraints, find and read Land Registry titles, list sold prices, local plan policies, site allocations, SHLAA sites, settlement boundaries, TPOs, Article 4 directions, HMOs and substations, and show your API and Land Registry credits. It can download Land Registry documents you have already bought.

Does the AI see my Searchland API key?

No. Your Searchland API key is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, for example only planning searches and constraint checks. Searchland tools read data and do not change anything in your account. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your HeyMyApps link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

HeyMyApps has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need Searchland API access, which Searchland sells separately, and every call uses your Searchland API credits.

How do I keep track of Searchland credits?

Every Searchland API call uses credits. Ask the AI to show your API usage across Searchland products, or your remaining credits for buying Land Registry documents. Switching off tools you do not need also keeps calls down.
