An MCP server is a connector that lets an AI assistant, like ChatGPT or Claude, look things up in another tool for you. PropertyRadar's connector lets your assistant pull property and owner information from PropertyRadar when you ask, so the answers come from real records instead of the assistant's memory.
Why Your AI Assistant Needs a Connector
On its own, an AI assistant answers from your conversation and what it learned in training. That's great for writing an email or explaining a term. It can't reliably tell you who owns a house, how much equity they have, or whether they're behind on their mortgage. Some of that information is online, but it's scattered and inconsistent from county to county. PropertyRadar brings all of it together, and more, across 3,000+ counties, then connects it to your assistant.
A connector gives your AI assistant a way to ask PropertyRadar instead of guessing.
What MCP Stands For
MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It's the open standard AI assistants use to connect to live data. Think of it like a standard plug: any assistant that supports it can connect to any tool that offers it.
You don't need to know how it works to use it. If you can paste a link and sign in, you can connect PropertyRadar.
What You Can Do With PropertyRadar Connected
Ask questions the way you'd ask a colleague. For example:
- Size a market: "How many homes in my ZIP code have 40% or more equity?"
- Look up a property: "Tell me about the property at 123 Main St."
- Check comps: "What have similar homes nearby sold for?"
- Find the owner: "Who owns it, and how can I reach them?"
- Save the list: "Save that search as an audience called My Farm."
Your AI assistant gets the answer from PropertyRadar records, not from memory. When the results look right, ask it to save them as an audience in your PropertyRadar account, ready to market.
What Happens When You Ask a Question
- You ask a question in plain language.
- Your assistant asks PropertyRadar for the answer.
- PropertyRadar answers from its records, using your account.
- You decide what to save and what to do next.
What It Costs
It's included in your PropertyRadar plan. Counting properties, getting a property summary, and saving an audience are free. Full property records and owner contact details draw from your plan's monthly exports, the same as an export or the API. Every plan includes an export allotment, and you can add more if you need it.
How to Get Started
Add PropertyRadar as a connector in ChatGPT or Claude, then sign in with your PropertyRadar account. It takes about five minutes, and our step-by-step guides for Claude and ChatGPT walk you through it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is MCP the same as an API?
No. An API lets two systems push and pull defined data with one another, and a developer usually sets it up. MCP lets your AI assistant use PropertyRadar when you ask it a question. No developer needed.
Which AI assistants work with PropertyRadar?
PropertyRadar works with ChatGPT and Claude.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You paste one link and sign in.
Does it replace PropertyRadar?
No. It's another way to use it. Your saved audiences and campaigns stay in PropertyRadar.
Can it change or delete my lists?
No. It creates new audiences only. You manage your existing lists in PropertyRadar.
Is it safe to connect my account?
You sign in to PropertyRadar directly, so your AI assistant gets permission to use your account, never your password.
Where do the answers come from?
Answers come from PropertyRadar records, not the AI assistant's memory. If an address doesn't match a property, it says so.
