The steps

  1. property_lookup
    Look up a supported county record by street address or account number.
  2. parcel_search
    Search the broader parcel index by address, owner, or parcel identifier where coverage is available.
  3. parcel_sales_history
    Optional: retrieve recorded parcel sales to support diligence or valuation context.
  4. realestate_trend
    Optional: add metro or state home-value and rent trends from the hosted Zillow Research corpus.

Result: A cited property-research flow that combines public records and market context behind one MCP connection.

Safe example

property_lookup

{
  "query": "2415 Lake Woodlands Dr",
  "county": "montgomery"
}

Returns the matched public appraisal record, including account number, owner, situs address, assessed values, exemptions, and legal description when present.

This is a fixed documentation example. It makes no API call. The separate anonymous evaluation remains atomically capped at 25 lifetime calls per network; ongoing use requires a metered key.

Save as .vscode/mcp.json. VS Code prompts for the key instead of committing it.

OpenAI Responses API

Pass LiveDataLink as a remote MCP tool with an authorization header.

const response = await openai.responses.create({
  model: "gpt-5.6",
  input: "Use LiveDataLink to answer the request.",
  tools: [{
    type: "mcp",
    server_label: "livedatalink",
    server_url: "https://livedatalink.ai/mcp",
    headers: { Authorization: "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" },
    require_approval: "never"
  }]
});
Claude and Claude Desktop

Claude's current remote-connector flow accepts authless or OAuth servers and does not accept LiveDataLink's API-key header directly. Do not paste the older claude_desktop_config.json remote-URL example. OAuth support is the remaining prerequisite for a native Claude connector.
