Common questions about PropertyMCP.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard that lets AI tools like Claude Desktop and Cursor access external data sources. PropertyMCP uses MCP to give Claude access to 8 real estate tools through a single config file.
Sign up for an account, get your API key, then paste the MCP config JSON into your Claude Desktop or Cursor settings. Restart the app and you are ready to go. Full setup guide is in our Getting Started docs.
