Steps
Confirm your DroneDeploy plan is Enterprise-tier, since API access is not available on lower plans
Generate a REST API key per the help.dronedeploy.com REST API Key guide, or set up GraphQL access per developer-docs.dronedeploy.com
Use the GraphQL endpoint (graphiql explorer at dronedeploy.com/graphiql) to query map/plan status and processing results for new integrations
Poll the Map Processing API for job completion status before pulling orthomosaic/point cloud export links
Download finalized survey exports (orthomosaic, DSM, point cloud) via the returned URLs for import into CAD/GIS
Known gotchas
DroneDeploy is steering developers toward GraphQL; legacy REST endpoints are marked for eventual deprecation, don't build new integrations on REST-only docs
API access is Enterprise-only — a standard/pro subscription will not expose API key generation in account settings
Processing is asynchronous; poll for job completion rather than expecting exports synchronously in the initial request
Give your agent this knowledge — and 15,500+ more routes
One MCP install gives any agent live access to the full route map across 5,700+ domains, with trust scores updated by agent consensus:
