What it can do

One connector, 24 property tools

The PropertyEngine MCP server exposes the whole platform to your assistant — sourcing, appraisal, market data and CRM. You never name a tool; you just ask, and it picks.

01

Search the whole UK market in plain English

Ask for what you actually want — 3-bed houses in Leeds under £200k that need work, flats outside Article 4 areas in Cardiff, anything back on the market and reduced twice. Your assistant turns that into a real search across every listing we index, then narrows it with the same investor filters you would use in the app.

search_areassearch_propertiesget_search_filterslookup_propertypresent_properties
02

Appraise a property in one message

Paste a Rightmove or Zoopla link, or name an address. Back comes the full listing history and every price change, what it last sold for, EPC current and potential, planning applications on the address, and a comparables pack — sold, for sale, under offer and rentals — sorted nearest first.

03

Check the area before you commit

Area-level market intelligence in a single call: on-market counts and asking-price stats, sold-price percentiles, market turnover, rental yields by postcode sector with average sale and rental prices, and flip outcomes — what people bought, refurbished and resold for.

get_market_statssearch_areas
04

Run your deal pipeline from the chat

Add properties to a board, label them, leave notes and log calls — in one message, across several properties at once. Your own CRM records are searchable too, so “which properties did I note the vendor was motivated on?” and “what have I not called this week?” are questions with real answers.

Prompts that work

Ask the way you actually think

No filter panels, no exports, no spreadsheet gymnastics. These are real questions the connector answers — the four at the top are the ones playing in the demo above.

Source a refurb deal

Find 3-bed houses in Leeds under £200k that look like they need refurbishment — which have the best margin?

214 listings match in Leeds. Here are the two where the asking price sits furthest below what refurbished stock nearby is actually selling for.

Appraise a Rightmove link

Here is a Rightmove link — what is it actually worth, and what rent would it achieve? rightmove.co.uk/properties/154820913

Asking £249,950. Six genuinely comparable sales within 400m land it at £232k–£241k, so the asking price is ahead of the market — and it has been listed twice before at £265k.

Compare yields

Which postcode sectors in Nottingham give the best rental yields on 2-bed flats right now?

Yields for 2-bed flats by sector, using average achieved sale prices against current asking rents. NG7 3 leads, though stock there is older and service charges run higher.

Update your pipeline

Add both to my Q3 Refurbs pipeline, label them needs-refurb, and log that I called the agent on Cardigan Road.

Done — both are on the Q3 Refurbs board in the Sourcing stage, labelled needs-refurb, and the call is logged against Cardigan Road with today’s date.

Show me everything in Birmingham that has been reduced more than 10% and is back on the market.

Interactive results

Properties you can click, not just read

When your assistant has properties to show you, it does not dump a wall of text. It renders an interactive list inside the conversation: thumbnail, address, price and the figures that matter, with its own analysis pinned to each row.

  • Analysis attached to each property

    The assistant’s conclusions and the numbers it used sit on the row itself, not buried in the paragraph above.

  • Page through the rest without asking again

    The list keeps the original search behind it, so “next page” pulls the following matches straight from the live data.

  • One click into PropertyEngine

    Open any property in the full app to run the numbers, check the map or start a direct-to-vendor letter.

Rendered by hosts that support MCP Apps, such as Claude. On other clients the same results come back as text.

Built on UK data

A property MCP server that knows the UK market

Most real estate MCP servers are built on US listing feeds. This one is built on the datasets a UK investor actually underwrites with — and the same ones behind PropertyEngine's sourcing filters.

Live listings, for sale and to let

Everything currently on the market, with the full listing history behind it — every price change, every relisting, every sold STC and fall-through.

Land Registry sold prices

What the property last sold for and when, plus sold-price percentiles for the surrounding area and previously flipped properties with the uplift achieved.

EPC, current and potential

The rating today and the rating it could reach after improvements — the difference between a property that is lettable now and one that needs spending on.

Planning applications

Applications on the address with status and full-text searchable descriptions, so approved-but-unbuilt consent does not get missed.

Article 4 and conservation areas

Whether an HMO conversion still falls under permitted development, and whether the property sits inside a named conservation area.

HMO licensing

Licences by status, the managing agent named on the licence, and expiry dates — useful both for compliance and for finding tired stock.

Company ownership

Properties held by a company, from Land Registry proprietor records — the starting point for most off-market approaches.

Floor area, plot and lease

Internal floor area, plot size, price per square metre and years remaining on the lease, so value comparisons hold up.

Why connect an AI assistant to property data at all?

Ask a general-purpose model about UK property and it answers from memory. It cannot tell you what came on the market this morning, what the house two doors down sold for in 2019, or whether the flat you are looking at sits inside an Article 4 direction — and when a model does not know, it tends to produce something plausible rather than nothing at all.

The Model Context Protocol closes that gap. It is an open standard for connecting assistants to live tools and data, and a remote MCP server is simply that connection published on the web. Add the PropertyEngine server once and every answer stops being a guess: each figure comes from a real query against listing, Land Registry, EPC, planning and licensing records, and every property links back to the app.

What that changes in practice is the shape of the work. Sourcing stops being a session of clicking filter panels and becomes a sentence. Appraisal stops being ten browser tabs and becomes a paste. And because your own pipeline, labels, notes and call logs are exposed to the assistant too, the follow-up — “save these two, label them, remind me who I have not called” — happens in the same breath as the search.

MCP Server FAQs

Common MCP server questions, answered

How the connector works, what data it reaches, and how to set it up in Claude or ChatGPT.

01
What is the PropertyEngine MCP server?

A UK property data connector for AI assistants

It is a remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT direct, live access to UK property data and your PropertyEngine workspace.

Once connected, the assistant can search listings for sale and to let across the UK, pull Land Registry sold prices, EPC ratings, planning applications and comparables, work out area rental yields, and read and update your own pipeline, labels, notes and call logs — all from a normal chat, with no exporting or copy-pasting.

02
What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?

The open standard for connecting AI models to tools and data

MCP is an open standard that lets AI assistants call external tools and read external data in a consistent way. Rather than every assistant needing its own bespoke integration, a service publishes one MCP server and any MCP-compatible client can use it.

A remote MCP server like ours runs on the web — you add it by URL and sign in, so nothing gets installed on your machine and the assistant acts as you, with your permissions.

03
Which AI assistants can I connect it to?

Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible clients

Claude on web, desktop and mobile — added under Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector. See the Claude setup guide.

ChatGPT on web and desktop with a paid plan — added through Developer Mode under Settings › Plugins. See the ChatGPT setup guide.

It is a standard remote MCP server, so any other client that supports remote MCP servers — Claude Code or Cursor, for example — can connect to the same URL.

04
Do I need to be a developer to set it up?

No — you paste one URL and sign in

No. There is nothing to install, no API key to manage and no config file to edit. You paste https://propertyengine.co.uk/mcp into your assistant, click Connect, and sign in with the 6-digit code we email you — no password.

It usually takes under a minute from start to first question.

05
Is there an MCP server for Rightmove or Zoopla?

Not from the portals — but you can paste their links here

Neither portal publishes an MCP server of its own. PropertyEngine indexes UK listings from the major portals alongside Land Registry, EPC and planning data.

That means you can paste a Rightmove or Zoopla link straight into the chat and the assistant will pull the full record for that address — its listing history, previous sales, EPC and nearby comparables.

06
What UK property data does it cover?

Listings, sold prices, EPC, planning, licensing and ownership

  • On-market listings for sale and to let, with full listing history, price reductions and back-on-market events
  • Land Registry sold prices and previous sale dates
  • EPC current and potential ratings
  • Planning applications on the address, Article 4 directions and conservation areas
  • HMO licences and expiry dates, and company ownership from Land Registry proprietor records
  • Floor area, plot size, price per square metre and lease length
  • Area statistics — sold-price percentiles, turnover, rental yields by postcode sector and flip outcomes
07
Can the AI change things in my PropertyEngine account?

Yes — pipelines, labels, notes and call logs, when you ask

Yes — it can add properties to pipelines, apply labels, leave comments and log calls. It only does so when you ask.

The assistant acts as you, inside your workspace, and sees exactly what you would see in the app. ChatGPT asks you to confirm before it makes a change. You can revoke access at any time from your assistant's connector settings.

08
Which PropertyEngine plan do I need?

The Ultimate plan, plus an account with your AI assistant

The connector is included on the Ultimate plan — see pricing.

You will also need an account with your assistant. Any Claude plan works, including the free plan, which allows one custom connector. ChatGPT Developer Mode requires a paid plan (Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu).

09
How does sign-in work, and is my data safe?

A one-time email code — no passwords shared

Your assistant sends you to PropertyEngine to sign in, we email you a 6-digit code, and you approve access — your assistant never sees a password.

Access is scoped to your own workspace, and you can revoke it at any time from the connector settings in Claude or ChatGPT.

10
How is this different from just asking ChatGPT about property?

Live records instead of recalled guesses

Without a connector, an assistant answers from its training data. It cannot see what is on the market today, what a house last sold for, or what is on your pipeline — and it may fill the gaps with plausible-sounding guesses.

With the PropertyEngine MCP server connected, every figure comes from a live query against real listing, Land Registry, EPC and planning records, and each property links straight through to PropertyEngine.

11
Does it work on mobile?

Yes in Claude; ChatGPT Developer Mode is web and desktop

In Claude, the connector works the same on web, desktop and mobile once it has been added — useful when you are stood outside a property.

ChatGPT Developer Mode is set up on web or desktop. Because it is still a beta feature, mobile availability depends on ChatGPT.

12
What are the interactive property widgets?

A clickable results list rendered inside the chat

When the assistant has properties to show you, it renders an interactive list inside the conversation instead of a wall of text — thumbnail, address, price and key figures per property, with its own analysis attached to each row.

You can page through the rest of the matches without asking again, and clicking a property opens it in PropertyEngine. Hosts that support MCP Apps, such as Claude, render this view; on other clients the same results come back as text.
