Smart city infrastructure
● EU-First ● 90% Hardware ● Privacy by Design

Connecting cities to AI through one unified protocol

CityMCP is a next-generation urban infrastructure platform that connects traffic, energy, water, waste, public safety, and environment into a single AI-orchestrated intelligence layer.

Hybrid ML + neural networks for reliable, intelligent urban systems. No city-critical system relies solely on neural networks.

Built on fundamentals that matter

Five principles that define every decision we make — from protocol design to hardware certification.

01

Unified, not siloed

Traffic, energy, water, environment, safety — optimized together through one protocol, not managed in separate systems that can't talk to each other.

02

Reliable, not fragile

No city-critical system relies solely on neural networks. Classical ML + deterministic fallbacks ensure AI failures never compromise essential services.

03

Open, not proprietary

CityMCP defines standards and certifies hardware from any manufacturer. A platform, not vendor lock-in.

04

Private, not surveillant

All data anonymized at the edge before transmission. Personal data never leaves the sensor. Full GDPR and EU AI Act compliance built into the protocol.

05

European, not imported

Designed for the EU market, EU regulations, and EU values from day one.

Cities run on siloed, reactive systems

Modern cities face compounding challenges that isolated "smart" solutions cannot address. CityMCP tackles six critical domains.

🚗

Mobility & Traffic

EU cities lose €100B/year to congestion. 95% of traffic lights run on fixed timers. Emergency response times up 12% in a decade.

  • Game-theoretic signal optimization
  • Nash equilibrium across intersections
  • VRU detection via thermal + LiDAR
  • Emergency vehicle green corridors

Energy & Grid

30% of building energy wasted. €12B/year spent on peak capacity used <5% of the time. EV charging causing grid overloads.

  • 15-second smart metering
  • District-level storage coordination
  • 24–72h demand forecasting
  • Adaptive street lighting (65–75% savings)
💧

Water & Utilities

23% of treated water lost to leaks. Flash flood frequency up 30% since 2000. Infrastructure averaging 40+ years old.

  • Acoustic leak detection within 2 hours
  • 5-meter leak localization accuracy
  • 30–60 minute flood warnings
  • Continuous water quality monitoring
🌱

Environment

67% of EU urban residents exposed to excess PM2.5. No city has real-time noise mapping. 30–40% of waste collection trips unnecessary.

  • Dense air quality sensor network
  • Street-level pollution maps
  • Urban heat island mapping
  • Smart waste bins with fill-level sensors
🛑

Public Safety

Fire, police, medical on separate systems. No cross-domain cascade modeling. First responders lack real-time building data.

  • Unified incident management
  • BIM integration for first responders
  • Cross-domain cascade modeling
  • Full EU AI Act compliance
👤

Citizen Services

Every department runs its own system. No standardized API for developers. GDPR compliance paralyzes useful data collection.

  • Unified CityMCP Schema ontology
  • Open API with tiered access
  • Privacy-by-design architecture
  • Third-party developer ecosystem

5-Layer Architecture

From physical sensors to AI orchestration — five layers that turn a city into an intelligent system.

L5 AI Orchestration MCP Protocol server, LLM integration, game-theoretic decision engines, cross-domain reasoning
L4 Analytics & ML Classical ML (XGBoost, Bayesian), deep learning (GNNs, LSTMs, transformers), reinforcement learning
L3 Data Platform Time-series DB, Kafka event streaming, data lake, CityMCP Schema, GDPR compliance engine
L2 Edge Computing Local ML inference <10ms. Fail-safe autonomous operation when cloud disconnected
L1 Sensors & Actuators Smart traffic signals, meters, environmental sensors, acoustic sensors, actuators

Model Context Protocol

A standardized interface through which any AI system can interact with urban infrastructure.

R

READ

Query the current state of any city system in real time.

"What is the current traffic density on Friedrichstrasse between intersections 12 and 15?"

REASON

Access historical data, predictions, and simulation results.

"If we close this road next Tuesday, what is the predicted traffic impact?"

ACT

Request changes to city systems with human-in-the-loop for high-impact actions.

"Extend the green phase on intersection 12 by 8 seconds for 30 minutes."

Hybrid ML + Neural Networks

No city-critical system relies solely on neural networks. Three tiers of reliability ensure continuous operation.

Tier 1

Deterministic Fallback

Every actuator has a hardcoded safe-state program. If all AI/ML systems fail, the city reverts to pre-programmed plans. Zero software required.

Tier 2

Classical ML

Gradient-boosted trees, Bayesian networks, random forests. Models are <10MB, run on edge hardware, formally verifiable. <50ms latency.

Tier 3

Neural Networks

GNNs for city-wide traffic, LSTMs for energy demand, transformers for NLP. Tier 2 always has veto power over Tier 3 — the "guardian architecture."

Certified hardware from 20+ manufacturers

CityMCP defines reference designs and certification standards. Open platform, not vendor lock-in.

EU Compliance by Design

Not an afterthought — compliance is built into the protocol layer from day one.

GDPR

Data Privacy

Edge anonymization — only aggregate data transmitted. No facial recognition. No license plate tracking. Dedicated DPO from Day 1 with feature veto authority.
