Look up property and parcel records with an AI agent
How do I let an agent find public property ownership, assessed value, parcel, and sales-history data?
Give an agent address, account-number, parcel, owner, and market-trend tools without scraping county portals inside every application.
The steps
- property_lookup
Look up a supported county record by street address or account number. - parcel_search
Search the broader parcel index by address, owner, or parcel identifier where coverage is available. - parcel_sales_history
Optional: retrieve recorded parcel sales to support diligence or valuation context. - 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.

}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.
