Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Property intelligence: 180M+ US parcels — lookup, search, owners, hazards, permits, deeds.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Computer or cloud
  • Transport: stdio, Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Search & AI memory
  • You need to fill in: PROPRAVEN_API_KEY, Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: PROPRAVEN_API_KEY, Authorization

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • Runs in the cloudNothing to install; it connects over the internet
  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Or run it on your computer

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "propraven": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@propraven/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "PROPRAVEN_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http propraven https://propraven.com/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Or run it on your computer

claude mcp add propraven --env PROPRAVEN_API_KEY=your-value -- npx -y @propraven/mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "propraven": {
      "url": "https://propraven.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or run it on your computer

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "propraven": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",

      ],
      "env": {
        "PROPRAVEN_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "propraven": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://propraven.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or run it on your computer

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {

      ],
      "env": {
        "PROPRAVEN_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Common questions

Is Propraven safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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?

You need to fill in: PROPRAVEN_API_KEY, Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.0) reached the registry 36 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?

In the same category: Context7, Codebase Memory, Exa

@propraven/mcp

Model Context Protocol server for PropRaven — gives Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent canonical access to 191.3M US parcels (110.0M mapped) with ownership, valuation, permits, deeds, hazard, and market data.

Hosted endpoint: https://propraven.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no install — docs: https://propraven.com/docs/mcp · agents + x402: https://propraven.com/docs/agents). Or run the stdio server locally (below).


Hosted (no install)

Point any HTTP-transport MCP client at `https://propraven.com/mcp` with your API key as a bearer header. Claude Desktop / Cursor (claude_desktop_config.json, ~/.cursor/mcp.json):

{

"mcpServers": { "propraven": { "url": "https://propraven.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer pz_your_real_key_here" } } } }

Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http propraven https://propraven.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer pz_your_real_key_here". The claude.ai web connector uses OAuth instead — add a custom connector with the same URL and sign in.


Local stdio server (npx @propraven/mcp)

Requirements: Node ≥18, a PropRaven API key (pz_…) from https://propraven.com/settings/api-keys (free, no card).

Claude Desktop — edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{

"mcpServers": { "propraven": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@propraven/mcp"], "env": { "PROPRAVEN_API_KEY": "pz_your_real_key_here" } } } }

Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json) takes the same block. Claude Code: claude mcp add propraven --env PROPRAVEN_API_KEY=pz_your_real_key_here -- npx -y @propraven/mcp.

Restart the client. The 8 PropRaven tools appear in the tool list.

Quick test
Look up parcel 37:119:12104406 and tell me the owner.

The agent should pick parcel_lookup and return the canonical parcel card with the owner.

ChatGPT: Custom GPT → Actions → OpenAPI URL https://api.propraven.com/openapi.json with API-key (Bearer) auth; native MCP-in-ChatGPT can use the hosted endpoint https://propraven.com/mcp (OAuth 2.1 + PKCE).


Tools

Names match the hosted server (^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,64}$, as MCP clients and the Anthropic API require).

ToolPurposeBacked by
parcel_lookupResolve one parcel by ID, address, or APNGET /api/v1/parcels/{id} (ID) or GET /api/v1/search/full (address / APN)
parcel_searchText search by owner, address fragment, APN or city (+ state/city filters, keyset cursor)GET /api/v1/search/full
parcel_compareFree card (+ hazards) for 2–25 parcels, for agent-side rankingGET /api/v1/parcels/{id} (+ /risks) × N
owner_pierceParcels titled under an owner name (optional state filter, best-effort ticker)GET /api/v1/owners/{name}/portfolio (+ /owners/search for ticker)
hazard_scoreFlood / wildfire / seismic / windstorm / air-quality / crime blocksGET /api/v1/parcels/{id}/risks
valuation_estimateMarket value, AVM, assessed values, last sale, $/sqftGET /api/v1/parcels/{id}
permits_historyPermit timeline (≤100 newest, with true-count basis)GET /api/v1/parcels/{id}/permits?shape=envelope
sales_historyDeed / transfer timelineGET /api/v1/parcels/{id}/deeds?shape=envelope

Parcel IDs. The canonical form is state_fips:county_fips:parcel_id, e.g. 37:119:12104406. The legacy 5-digit form (37119:12104406) and PropRaven parcel UUIDs are also accepted. parcel_search and parcel_lookup's address search add a lookup_id to every result (search rows carry the PropRaven UUID in parcel_id), which parcel_lookup / parcel_compare accept.

No tool spends money. The client only issues GETs to the seven free / metered read endpoints above, refuses every other path before a request is sent (the paid parcel report, comp pack, risk score, owner report, leads, storefront, …), and never sends a payment header. If the API ever answers with an x402 402 Payment Required, the tool returns 402 payment required — this tool never pays. Calls still count against your plan's monthly quota. To buy a dossier, use the hosted server's explicit buy_* tools or propraven.com.

Errors are RFC 7807 problem details, surfaced as : (e.g. 404 not_found: …). A 429 or 503 is retried once when Retry-After is ≤ 10 s.

Tool descriptions call out when not to use each tool, which is the biggest determinant of agent selection accuracy.

Develop / inspect

npm ci

npm run build npm test # node:test suite — no network, no API key needed

Live-reloading dev (TypeScript, no build step):

PROPRAVEN_API_KEY=pz_test... npm run dev

Or open the MCP Inspector UI:

PROPRAVEN_API_KEY=pz_test... npm run inspect

The inspector at https://modelcontextprotocol.io/legacy/tools/inspector lets you call each tool manually and see request/response payloads.


Why this exists

Every Claude / ChatGPT / Cursor workflow that touches property data needs an authoritative parcel-lookup tool. There is no canonical property-data MCP today. PropRaven aims to be it before the first-mover window closes (~12–18 months).
