Model Context Protocol

Use PulseReal inside ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor

Connect your AI assistant to PulseReal and it answers rental investing questions with PulseReal's underwriting, market data and short-term rental rules instead of guessing. Every figure comes back with a numbered source, an as-of date and a link, so the assistant can cite it.

Create an API key How we calculate

Server

https://pulsereal.com/mcp

Streamable HTTP, stateless. Market-level tools work with no key (30 calls an hour per IP). With an API key, send Authorization: Bearer <api_token> and X-Api-Secret: <api_secret>, or a single X-Api-Key: <api_token>:<api_secret> header. Keyed calls use your API plan's rate limit, and full listing underwriting follows your PulseReal plan.

ChatGPT and Claude (web and desktop)

Add a custom connector with the server URL above. These apps connect without custom headers, which gives you every market-level tool. For listing underwriting in Claude Desktop, use the bridge below in claude_desktop_config.json.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pulsereal": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://pulsereal.com/mcp",
        "--header", "X-Api-Key:<api_token>:<api_secret>"]
    }
  }
}
