What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • search_guides

    Search RentReboot public NYC renter guides by keyword and return canonical URLs.

  • list_alerted_listings

    List apartments RentReboot already sent to the connected renter, newest first, with saved, hidden, and contacted/toured/applied state. Pass nextCursor to see older alerts (up to the latest 200). Hidden apartments are left out unless includeHidden is true. Links open the listing t

  • update_alerted_listing

    Change the connected renter's state for one apartment from their alerts: save it, hide it, or mark it contacted, toured, or applied (status "none" clears it). Same as the buttons on the RentReboot dashboard. Use a listingId from list_alerted_listings.

  • get_account

    Show the connected renter's plan (free or paid), whether apartment alerts are on or paused, market, alert frequency, and delivery channel, plus a link to manage the account.

  • get_search_preferences

    Show the connected renter's saved alert search: budget, bedrooms, bathrooms, neighborhoods, move-in date, no-fee and rent-stabilized filters, amenities, subway lines, alert frequency, and channel. Read this before changing the search.

  • find_search_neighborhoods

    Look up neighborhood names and ids the connected renter can add to their alert search, in their own market. Returns names only, not listings.

  • update_search_preferences

    Change the connected renter's saved alert search. Send only the fields to change; everything else stays. Saves exactly like the RentReboot preferences page, so its rules apply (for example a search always keeps at least one neighborhood). For a new account, set city together with

  • set_apartment_alerts

    Pause (enabled=false) or resume (enabled=true) the connected renter's apartment alerts. Their search, plan, billing, and Housing Connect settings stay as they are. Confirm with the renter first.

  • list_historical_matches

    List historical apartment records matching the connected renter’s saved requirements. These records do not establish current or future availability. Read-only and excludes broker contact details and account identifiers.

  • list_housing_lottery_applications

    List the connected renter’s provider-confirmed NYC Housing Connect application statuses. Read-only. Excludes credentials, application numbers, income, household details, email, and internal identifiers.

  • get_guide

    Retrieve a public RentReboot guide as Markdown using its slug.

  • list_neighborhoods

    List NYC neighborhoods that have published RentReboot asking-rent percentile data.

  • get_rent_data

    Retrieve aggregate asking-rent percentiles and sample sizes for a published NYC neighborhood. Values are not individual listings or personal data.

Common questions

Is RentReboot Apartment Search safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.2.0) reached the registry 18 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

RentReboot MCP: apartment alerts, renter guides and NYC rent data

RentReboot connects AI assistants to public NYC renter guides and neighborhood asking-rent data. With the renter's scoped OAuth consent, assistants can also read their apartment alerts, manage their saved search, save or track alerted apartments, and view Housing Lottery application statuses.

Hosted MCP endpoint: https://rentreboot.com/api/mcp Transport: Streamable HTTP Authentication: No account for public tools. OAuth 2.1 with PKCE for personal tools.

This is the public setup and discovery repository for RentReboot's hosted MCP service. It contains installation metadata and documentation, not the production server implementation. Nothing needs to be deployed or installed from this repository.

Connect

Add the remote server URL in an MCP client that supports Streamable HTTP:

{

"mcpServers": { "rentreboot": { "url": "https://rentreboot.com/api/mcp" } } }

Clients use different configuration formats; use your client's remote-server setup if it does not accept this JSON. For personal features, choose its OAuth connection flow and sign in on rentreboot.com. New renters can create a free account through the same verified-email flow. Never paste an email code, private account link or token into a chat or configuration example.

Public tools

ToolPurpose
search_guidesFind published renter guides by keyword, with canonical URLs.
get_guideRead a published guide as Markdown.
list_neighborhoodsDiscover NYC neighborhoods with published rent data.
get_rent_dataRead aggregate asking-rent percentiles and sample sizes by neighborhood and bedroom count.

Public tools are read-only and do not require an account or API key. Asking-rent percentiles describe aggregate data; they are not individual apartment availability or a guaranteed future rent.

Personal tools with OAuth

ToolPurposeScope

update_alerted_listingSave, hide, or mark an alerted apartment contacted, toured or applied.alerts:write

list_housing_lottery_applicationsRead provider-confirmed NYC Housing Connect application statuses.lottery:read

Ask the renter to confirm a change before calling a write tool. Personal tools act only on the connected renter's account. Available tools depend on the client and granted scopes; tools/list is authoritative. Some clients may also expose a scoped checkout-link tool, described in the authentication documentation.

Upcoming matches are historical records useful for planning, not promises of future availability. The service does not contact brokers or submit Housing Connect applications through MCP tools. Account deletion, unsubscribing and paid-plan cancellation remain website workflows. Public MCP tools are available without a paid plan; paid RentReboot alert features follow the account's website plan.

Example requests

  • "Find renter guides about rent stabilization in NYC."
  • "Compare published one-bedroom asking-rent percentiles in Chelsea."
  • "Show the apartments RentReboot sent me most recently." (OAuth)
  • "Save this alerted apartment and mark it toured." (OAuth, confirm first)
  • "Change my maximum rent to $3,000." (OAuth, confirm first)
  • "Show my Housing Lottery application statuses." (OAuth)

Tool descriptions above were checked against the public service on October 21, 2026. The live service and its authentication documentation are authoritative for current availability.

Cursor plugin

This repository includes a Cursor plugin manifest at .cursor-plugin/plugin.json. It references the hosted RentReboot MCP configuration in .mcp.json; no local server process is started. Public guides and rent data work anonymously. Connect through browser OAuth for account tools, and confirm changes before approving write tools. The public plugin metadata is MIT licensed; the hosted implementation is not included.
