CRE Intelligence MCP
Live market data for commercial real estate analysis — inside Claude.
Connect this MCP to Claude Desktop and instantly access Federal Reserve interest rates, Census Bureau demographics, DCF modeling, rent roll parsing, lease abstraction, and IC memo generation — all from a single prompt.
"Analyze this deal: 2201 South Blvd, Charlotte NC. NOI $400k, asking $6M, retail strip."
→ Pulls live SOFR from the Fed. Pulls Census demographics for that exact block. Builds a full levered 10-year DCF. Writes an institutional-quality IC memo. 30 seconds.
Why this exists
The #1 problem with AI in CRE: 66% of professionals use it daily, but only 5% trust it for actual deal decisions.
The reason? AI guesses at rates and demographics. A DCF built on a hallucinated SOFR rate is worthless.
This MCP fixes that. Every number comes from a verified public source:
- Interest rates → Federal Reserve (FRED API)
- Demographics → US Census Bureau ACS
- Document analysis → Claude AI with structured output
Zero data licensing fees. Zero hallucinations on financial inputs.
Tools
Example output
Prompt: "Get me current interest rates"
Prompt: "Analyze this deal: 2201 South Blvd Charlotte NC, NOI $400k, asking $6M, retail strip"
The MCP automatically chains get_current_rates + get_market_demographics + build_dcf_model + generate_deal_memo and returns a full IC memo including:
Setup
Option A — Hosted (fastest, no API keys)
Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json and restart Claude Desktop:
If your MCP client only supports stdio servers, use the mcp-remote bridge instead:
Free during beta. All data fetching runs server-side.
Option B — Self-hosted
Prerequisites
Install
Connect to Claude Desktop
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
Restart Claude Desktop. The tools will appear automatically.
Test it
Open Claude Desktop and say:
"Get me current interest rates"
You should see it call get_current_rates and return live Federal Reserve data.
Document analysis
The document tools (analyze_rent_roll, abstract_lease) work by pasting PDF text directly into the prompt. In Claude Desktop:
- Open your rent roll or lease PDF
- Copy all the text
- Say: "Analyze this rent roll: [paste text]"
The tool extracts every tenant, suite, SF, rent, lease dates, and expiration into structured JSON — then flag_lease_risks can immediately analyze it for rollover and concentration risk.
