---

## What you can build

- **Rental market research agents** — Ask Claude *"compare rents in Austin vs Nashville for a 2-bedroom"* and get current, cited data without any data pipeline of your own.
- **Investment underwriting bots** — Let your AI evaluate cap rates, rent growth, and vacancy trends across hundreds of submarkets in a single conversation.
- **PropTech AI features** — Drop into your existing app — tenant portals, brokerage tools, CRM enrichment — and your agent suddenly knows real estate.

## 30-second install (Claude Desktop)

Add this to `claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "estaite": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote@latest", "https://mcp.estaite.com", "--header", "x-api-key:YOUR_API_KEY"]
    }
  }
}
```

Restart Claude Desktop. Done. Get your free API key at [estaite.com/developers](https://estaite.com/developers).

## Example interaction

> **You:** *What's the rental market like in Austin right now?*
>
> *Claude finds the right submarket via `search_estaite_submarkets`, then calls `get_estaite_market_snapshot`.*
>
> **Claude:** *Austin is currently a renter's market. Vacancy is running above the balanced threshold, median 2BR rent is down year-over-year, and properties are sitting on market longer than the national average. New construction outpaced demand over the past 12 months. Source: estaite.com.*

Every response includes structured data plus a citation back to the source. No hallucinated rent numbers.

## Authentication

Pass your API key with one of:

| Method | Example | Notes |
|--------|---------|-------|
| **Header (recommended)** | `x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY` | Preferred for code-driven clients (curl, custom agents, MCP SDKs). |
| Bearer token | `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY` | Standard Bearer scheme. Used by clients that complete the OAuth 2.1 flow. |
| Query param | `https://mcp.estaite.com?key=YOUR_API_KEY` | Convenient for clients that only accept a URL (Claude Desktop Connectors, ChatGPT custom GPTs). |

### API key security

Treat your API key like a password:
- Never commit it to git, and don't paste it into URLs you'll share publicly
- Rotate it immediately at [estaite.com/developers](https://estaite.com/developers) if exposed
- Use environment variables, not hardcoded strings, when integrating
