## Description
Zillow MCP for AI agents: property data, Zestimates & listings — 300+ fields per home. Free tier.

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Heuristic fallback — verify the package name and runner against the repository README before running it. Uses `npx` (confidence: low):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "zillow-mcp-property-data-zestimates-listings-for-ai-agents": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","zillow-mcp-property-data-zestimates-listings-for-ai-agents"]

## Why Zillow MCP

You run comps, check what homes are worth, and track listings all day. Zillow MCP puts that data inside the AI you already talk to.

**Connect once, then just ask.** Add Zillow MCP to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client a single time — and your AI assistant can pull live Zillow property data (full property records, Zestimates, and listings) right in the conversation. No code, no repeated setup.

Ask for comps on a subject property. Check a flip's numbers against its asking price. Pull rent estimates for a cash-flow check. Or just ask what a home is worth — Zestimate, taxes, schools, and full price history come back in seconds.

**Quick taste:**

```txt
Find 3-bed homes for sale under $600k in Washington DC,
pull the full record for the most promising one,
and check how its Zestimate compares to the asking price.
```

That single prompt uses 3 of the 4 tools — `search_listings`, `lookup_property_by_zpid`, `get_zestimate` — without you writing a line of code.

---

## Quick Install

> **Requirements:**
>
> - A Zillapi account ([sign up free](https://zillapi.com/signup) — 100 credits free, no card)
> - An API key (`zk_...`) from your dashboard **OR** just use OAuth (Claude, ChatGPT, Hermes Agent, OpenClaw — no key handling)

> **Recommended: add a rule to auto-invoke Zillow MCP**
>
> Add this rule to your AI client so you don't have to ask explicitly:
>
> ```txt
> When I mention a U.S. property address, a Zillow link, or ask about home
> values, listings, or comps, automatically use the zillapi MCP tools to
> fetch real property data before answering.
> ```

<details>
<summary><b>Install in Claude (Desktop & Web) — Recommended</b></summary>

**Zillow MCP works with Claude Desktop and Claude Web.**

Settings → Connectors → **Add custom connector** → paste:

```
https://api.zillapi.com/mcp
```

Claude runs the OAuth sign-in for you — **no API key needed.**

Prefer a key, or running headless? Add to `claude_desktop_config.json` instead:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zillapi": {
      "transport": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://api.zillapi.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer zk_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Install in Claude Code (CLI)</b></summary>

**Zillow MCP works with Claude Code.**

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http zillapi https://api.zillapi.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer zk_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
```

</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Install in ChatGPT</b></summary>

**Zillow MCP works with ChatGPT (Developer Mode).**

1. Enable **Developer Mode**: Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings.
2. Go to **Settings → Connectors → Add MCP server** (Create in the Connectors panel).
3. Paste the server URL:

```
https://api.zillapi.com/mcp
```

4. Complete the OAuth sign-in when prompted — **no API key needed.**

</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Install in Hermes Agent</b></summary>

**Zillow MCP works with Hermes Agent.**

Add to `~/.hermes/config.yaml` under `mcp_servers` — with OAuth (no key handling):

```yaml
mcp_servers:
  zillapi:
    url: "https://api.zillapi.com/mcp"
    auth: oauth
```

Or with an API key:

```yaml
mcp_servers:
  zillapi:
    url: "https://api.zillapi.com/mcp"
    headers:
      Authorization: "Bearer zk_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
```

With `auth: oauth`, Hermes runs the MCP OAuth 2.1 flow (metadata discovery + dynamic client registration) automatically — this server supports it out of the box.

</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Install in OpenClaw</b></summary>

**Zillow MCP works with OpenClaw.**

With OAuth (no key handling):

```bash
openclaw mcp add zillapi --url https://api.zillapi.com/mcp --transport streamable-http --auth oauth
openclaw mcp login zillapi
```

Or with an API key:

```bash
openclaw mcp set zillapi '{"url":"https://api.zillapi.com/mcp","transport":"streamable-http","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer zk_YOUR_KEY"}}'
```

Both write to `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` under `mcp.servers`:

```json
{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "zillapi": {
        "url": "https://api.zillapi.com/mcp",
        "transport": "streamable-http",
        "auth": "oauth"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Prefer skills over MCP? Zillapi is also available as an OpenClaw-ready agent **skill** — grab it at [ZeroPointRepo/zillow-skills](https://github.com/ZeroPointRepo/zillow-skills).

Add the server as a hosted MCP tool with the URL `https://api.zillapi.com/mcp` and an `Authorization: Bearer zk_YOUR_KEY_HERE` header (or let end users OAuth). Any framework that speaks streamable-HTTP MCP works the same way.

</details>

## Authentication

Two ways in — both end at the same account and credits:

- **OAuth 2.1 (recommended for Claude, ChatGPT, Hermes Agent & OpenClaw):** paste the endpoint (or set `auth: oauth`) and sign in when prompted. The server implements Dynamic Client Registration, so DCR-aware clients discover everything automatically — you never touch a key.
- **API key (`zk_...`):** for key-based clients (Cursor, VS Code, Cline, scripts). Get one free at [zillapi.com/signup](https://zillapi.com/signup) and send it as `Authorization: Bearer zk_...`.

> **Security note:** treat `zk_` keys like passwords — never commit them to a repo or paste them into shared configs. If a key leaks, revoke it in your dashboard and mint a new one.

---

## Troubleshooting

<details>
<summary><b>Authentication errors (401)</b></summary>

- Verify your API key starts with `zk_`
- Check for extra spaces when copying the key or the endpoint URL
- Ensure the key hasn't been revoked in your Zillapi dashboard
- If using OAuth, try removing and re-adding the connector to re-authorize
</details>

<details>
<summary><b>No credits (402 out_of_credits)</b></summary>

- Check your credit balance in your Zillapi dashboard
- On a paid plan, buy a top-up pack; on the free tier, upgrade at [zillapi.com/pricing](https://zillapi.com/pricing/)
- Failed calls are never charged — a 402 means the account balance is empty, not that you were billed
</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Property not found (404)</b></summary>

- For address lookups, include city, state, and ZIP (e.g. `1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington DC 20500`)
- Verify the zpid is the numeric id from a `zillow.com/homedetails/..._zpid/` URL
- Some parcels (new construction, unlisted land) may not have a Zillow record yet
</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Rate limiting (429 rate_limited)</b></summary>

- Respect the `Retry-After` header and back off exponentially
- The `error.code` is a stable string (`rate_limited`) — detect it without parsing prose
- Rate-limited calls are not charged; upgrade your plan for higher per-minute limits
</details>

<details>
<summary><b>OAuth issues</b></summary>

- Clear browser cookies and retry the connector authorization
- Ensure popup blockers aren't stopping the sign-in window
- OAuth discovery starts from the server's 401 response — if a client can't connect, confirm it supports MCP OAuth 2.1 / DCR, or fall back to an API key
</details>

## FAQ

**Is there a public Zillow API in 2026?**
Not an open one — Zillow retired its public API (ZWSID) in 2021, and official access now runs through Bridge Interactive, which is MLS-gated. Zillow MCP provides same-day, self-serve access to Zillow-sourced property data through the Model Context Protocol, with a free tier and no approval process.

**What is a Zillow MCP?**
A Zillow MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that exposes Zillow property data as tools an AI agent can call: property lookup by address or zpid, Zestimates, and listing search, so assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor can fetch live U.S. property data mid-conversation, backed by Zillapi's hosted property data API.

**How do I add it to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or ChatGPT?**
Claude Desktop: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste `https://api.zillapi.com/mcp`. Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http zillapi https://api.zillapi.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer zk_YOUR_KEY"`. ChatGPT: enable Developer Mode, then Settings → Connectors → Add MCP server → paste the URL and complete the OAuth prompt. See [Quick Install](#quick-install) for every client.

**Can it run comps or a quick CMA?**
Yes — that's the core workflow. Ask for recently sold homes near a subject property, then compare sale prices, Zestimates, and price per sqft. Agents use it for quick CMAs; investors run the same flow for flip margins and rental yield checks.

**How much does it cost?**
100 free credits at signup with no card. After that it's credit-based — monthly/annual plans or top-ups from $4 per 1,000 credits. Most calls are 1 credit per record; address lookups are 3 credits; failed calls are free.

**Is this affiliated with Zillow?**
No. Zillapi is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Zillow Group, Inc. "Zillow" and "Zestimate" are trademarks of Zillow Group, Inc., used here descriptively to refer to those services.
