Hemnet MCP

Hemnet MCP

An MCP server for [hemnet.se](https://www.hemnet.se), Sweden's largest real-estate portal. Search for-sale listings, look up sold prices (*slutpriser*), pull full listing detail and photos, compute market statistics, resolve addresses, and run a Swedish mortgage calculation — all from Claude.

⚠️ This project is built and maintained by AI (Claude). It reads

hemnet.se through its public GraphQL API. Use at your own discretion

and within hemnet.se's terms of service.

Highlights

• No configuration. Hemnet serves its read queries anonymously — no login, no API key. npx hemnet-mcp just works (a browser extension is only needed if Hemnet serves a Cloudflare challenge — see below).
• Sold prices (slutpriser). Hemnet's signature dataset: achieved final price, asking price, and over/under-asking percentage — the comps an agent needs to value a home.
• Swedish-native. Money in SEK, areas in m², rooms, bostadsrätt fees (avgift), energy class, and a mortgage model that follows Swedish rules (amorteringskrav, ränteavdrag).
• Embeddable. Ships as a standalone MCP server *and* as a library so it can be composed into a larger multi-portal server.

If Hemnet serves a Cloudflare challenge

Hemnet sometimes fronts its GraphQL API with a Cloudflare bot challenge. When that happens the server switches (under the default HEMNET_TRANSPORT=auto) to a browser bridge that sends the same anonymous queries from a www.hemnet.se tab in your own browser — no Hemnet login needed. That needs the ContextMint Bridge extension, installed from its releases: in Chrome, unzip the chrome zip and load it unpacked, then approve the pairing prompt the first time. Safari isn't available yet (it will ship inside the ContextMint app, which has no public download), so use Chrome for now.

ContextMint Bridge is the fetchproxy browser extension under its new name, from the same maintainer — fetchproxy's own README (https://github.com/chrischall/fetchproxy#extension) points to it. Its source is public at https://github.com/nullnet-app/contextmint-bridge: build it yourself, or check a release zip against the .sha256 file published beside it (shasum -a 256 -c contextmint-bridge-chrome- .zip.sha256).

From source

git clone https://github.com/chrischall/hemnet-mcp

cd hemnet-mcp npm install npm run build node dist/index.js

Tools

Example flow

1. hemnet_autocomplete_location { query: "Vasastan" }

→ location_id 925970

1. hemnet_search_listings { location_ids: ["925970"], rooms_min: 2, price_max: 6000000 } → listing summaries
2. hemnet_get_market_stats { location_ids: ["925970"], housing_form_groups: ["APARTMENTS"] } → median final price, price-per-m²
3. hemnet_calculate_mortgage { price: 4695000, interest_rate: 3.9, monthly_fee: 2800 } → monthly cost, gross and after-tax

Or pass a free-text location to any search tool and it resolves the top hit for you.

Money & units

All output records use numbers: price / final_price / fee_monthly in SEK, living_area_sqm / land_area_sqm in m², rooms as a number. A derived price_per_sqm is always included when price and living area allow it (even when Hemnet omits it, common on houses). The original Hemnet-formatted strings are kept alongside as *_formatted.

Library use

hemnet-mcp is also importable, so it can serve as a Hemnet *portal source* inside a larger project (e.g. a cross-portal realty orchestrator):

import { createHemnetClient, computeMarketStats } from 'hemnet-mcp';

const hemnet = createHemnetClient(); const { cards } = await hemnet.searchSales({ locationIds: ['925970'] }, { limit: 50 }); const stats = computeMarketStats(cards.map(formatSaleCard));

The library entry (import … from 'hemnet-mcp') re-exports the client, the normalised record types, the pure derivations (computeMarketStats, calculateSwedishMortgage, money/url helpers), and every tool registrar (registerHemnetTools(server, client) to graft the tools onto your own MCP server).

Development

npm test               # vitest (mocked transport, no network)

npm run test:coverage # 100% coverage enforced on src/** npm run typecheck npm run build

Tests drive every tool and the client through an in-memory fake transport — no live hemnet.se calls. See CLAUDE.md for architecture, the GraphQL quirks, and contribution conventions.
