README

Rundum Immo Real Estate Appraisal MCP

An open-source Model Context Protocol server for indicative German real-estate depreciation and purchase-price allocation. It exposes calculate_property_depreciation and calculate_purchase_price_allocation, delegating both calculations to the public AfAMax APIs. Proprietary appraisal formulas remain in AfAMax.

Hosted server

The public Streamable HTTP endpoint is:

text
https://mcp.rundum.immo/mcp

No end-user API key is required. Calls are subject to AfAMax per-client and service-wide rate limits and abuse protections.

Run from source over stdio

Node.js 22.12 or newer is required.

bash
git clone https://github.com/Rundum-Immo/real-estate-appraisal-mcp.gitcd real-estate-appraisal-mcppnpm install --frozen-lockfilepnpm build

Configure your MCP client to run the built server, replacing the path with the absolute path to your checkout:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "rundum-real-estate-appraisal": {      "command": "node",      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/real-estate-appraisal-mcp/dist/transports/stdio.js"]    }  }}

The stdio server calls the anonymous AfAMax API directly. Its public limits are 30 requests per minute and 500 requests per rolling day per IP; a tenant-wide ceiling may also apply. It writes protocol messages only to stdout and operational logs only to stderr.

Install from npm over stdio

Node.js 22.12 or newer is required. Configure your MCP client to launch the published package with npx:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "rundum-real-estate-appraisal": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@rundum-immo/real-estate-appraisal-mcp"]    }  }}

Tools

Property depreciation

calculate_property_depreciation accepts the complete public AfAMax request contract:

  • Required: property type, construction year, and floor area.
  • Optional: purchase price, land area, standard land value, inventory, purchase costs, core-renovation year, marginal tax rate, locale, coarse modernization level, and eight detailed modernization component states.
  • Results: annual and monthly AfA, comparison with statutory AfA, estimated tax savings, building-value assumptions, modernization points, and remaining useful life.

Omitting modernization data means AfAMax assumes no modernization, producing an upper-bound estimate. For multi-unit buildings, provide whole-building figures or calculate individual units separately. Results are indicative and do not replace tax, legal, or appraisal advice.

Example input:

json
{  "propertyType": "CONDOMINIUM",  "constructionYear": 1970,  "floorArea": 85,  "purchasePrice": 350000,  "taxRate": 0.42,  "locale": "en"}

Purchase-price allocation

calculate_purchase_price_allocation divides acquisition costs between non-depreciable land and the depreciable building using the German Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) method.

  • Required: property type, total purchase price, purchase date, construction year, floor area, land area, and standard land value.
  • Condominiums also require the numerator and denominator of the co-ownership share.
  • Mixed-use residential/commercial buildings also require whether the commercial share is under or over 50%.
  • Optional: purchase costs, included inventory, garage and underground-parking counts, monthly net cold rent, and locale.
  • Results: the applied method, meaningful alternatives, land/building shares and values, depreciation base, unavailable or unusable method reasons, and disclosed asset-method defaults.

Providing monthly net cold rent enables the income method as a cross-check against the asset method. Garage and covered underground-parking counts improve the asset method because those spaces are valued separately. Comparative valuation is unavailable because the public contract excludes surveyor-only factors. Results are indicative and do not replace tax or legal advice.

Example input:

json
{  "propertyType": "CONDOMINIUM",  "totalPurchasePrice": 500000,  "purchaseRelatedCosts": 40000,  "purchaseDate": "2024-06-15",  "constructionYear": 1975,  "floorArea": 75,  "landArea": 1200,  "standardLandValue": 2500,  "coOwnershipNumerator": 75,  "coOwnershipDenominator": 1000,  "undergroundParkingSpaces": 1,  "monthlyNetColdRent": 1400,  "locale": "en"}

Architecture

text
MCP client  ->  this public adapter  ->  AfAMax public HTTPS API

This repository contains transport, validation, error mapping, and presentation code only. It contains no appraisal formulas, databases, tenant logic, or report-generation internals. The transport-neutral server factory is shared by stdio and stateless Streamable HTTP.

Development

bash
pnpm installpnpm checkpnpm dev:stdio

Test with MCP Inspector

Build and launch the local stdio server through MCP Inspector:

bash
pnpm buildnpx -y @modelcontextprotocol/inspector \  node --env-file-if-exists=.env dist/transports/stdio.js

Connect in the browser, open Tools, and call either tool with its example input above. Successful responses contain a readable summary, structured output, disclosed assumptions/defaults, and a source link to the corresponding AfAMax calculator. The source link carries the submitted inputs so the calculator opens prefilled for refinement or documentation.

To inspect the registered tools from the command line:

bash
npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/inspector \  --cli \  node --env-file-if-exists=.env dist/transports/stdio.js \  --method tools/list

Develop the HTTP transport

bash
cp .env.example .envpnpm dev:http

AFAMAX_SERVICE_TOKEN is mandatory for HTTP mode. Trusted per-client rate limiting works only with a service credential issued by Rundum Immo and configured with the matching AfAMax backend value; arbitrary tokens do not enable trusted forwarding. HTTP mode forwards that token and the validated rightmost proxy client address in X-Afamax-Service-Token and X-Afamax-Client-IP. Never expose this token to MCP clients. Deploy behind a proxy that replaces, rather than blindly appends to, incoming forwarding headers.

Configuration:

VariableDefaultPurpose
AFAMAX_API_URLhttps://afamax.de/api/v1/afa-calculationPublic calculation endpoint
AFAMAX_KPA_API_URLhttps://afamax.de/api/v1/purchase-price-allocationPublic purchase-price allocation endpoint
AFAMAX_SERVICE_TOKEN—Required trusted-service credential in HTTP mode
AFAMAX_TIMEOUT_MS10000Upstream timeout
HOST0.0.0.0Listen address
PORT3000Listen port
PUBLIC_HOSTSmcp.rundum.immoComma-separated allowed Host header names
LOG_LEVELinfodebug, info, warn, or error

The HTTP server exposes /mcp and /health, limits request bodies to 64 KiB, validates Host and Origin syntax, and returns permissive CORS headers for anonymous browser clients.

Deploy with Docker

Production HTTP hosting is intended for Rundum Immo or explicitly authorized operators because it requires a matching AfAMax service credential. Public users can run the stdio transport without one.

bash
docker build -t real-estate-appraisal-mcp .docker run --rm -p 3000:3000 \  -e AFAMAX_SERVICE_TOKEN='credential-issued-by-rundum-immo' \  -e PUBLIC_HOSTS='localhost,mcp.rundum.immo' \  real-estate-appraisal-mcp

The image runs as the non-root node user. Configure mcp.rundum.immo in Coolify and proxy it to port 3000.

Data and privacy

The adapter is stateless and does not persist tool inputs or raw client IP addresses. Calculation input and the client IP are sent to AfAMax, which uses the address for abuse prevention. AfAMax stores a salted hash of the address and limited usage metadata for 30 days; it does not store the raw address in its usage records. Avoid placing personal identifiers in tool input. See AfAMax privacy information and SECURITY.md.

Roadmap

The repository can grow beyond its initial calculation tools. Potential future capabilities include:

  • Property and market-value estimation
  • Appraisal and valuation-report workflows
  • Additional German real-estate tax and appraisal tools

Future tools will follow the same boundary: this repository contains the public MCP integration, while proprietary appraisal logic remains in AfAMax.
