A side-by-side look at the Xome and Zillow Property Data (APIllow) MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Xome for real estate work as a local process; choose Zillow Property Data (APIllow) for real estate. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
