Perplexity

Check Portfolio Performance Instantly

This MCP Server gives your agent tools to query your ARGUS Cloud account. Start by asking Claude to `list_portfolios`, then have it pull specifics on one with `get_portfolio`. You get a quick summary of a portfolio's health without ever leaving your chat. It’s a faster way to check in on your investments. Instead of navigating the ARGUS web interface, you just ask a direct question. Your agent uses the tools to get the answer, making data retrieval feel more like a conversation.

Drill Down into Specific Assets

The `list_assets` tool gives you a full inventory of your properties, and `get_asset` pulls the file on a single one. Ask your agent for current valuation, lease status, or other key metrics tracked in ARGUS. Forget digging through menus and reports. Just ask Claude Desktop, “What’s the current valuation for 123 Main St?” Your agent gets the data and gives you the answer. This is what an MCP connection is for.

Stay on Top of ARGUS Cloud Alerts

Use the `list_notifications` tool to pull your latest alerts from ARGUS Cloud. You can ask Claude Desktop to check for any important updates on your assets or portfolios, right from the chat input. Instead of keeping another tab open or waiting for an email digest, you get the information on demand. It’s a simple way to keep tabs on valuation changes or lease expirations without breaking your focus.

Common questions about ARGUS Cloud MCP in Claude Desktop

For the desktop app, use the one-click install from the Extensions UI. For the web version on claude.ai, paste the Vinkius server URL into the Custom Connectors section in your Claude settings to get started.

Yes. The web connector works on all Claude plans, including the free one. The desktop app's local tool integration also works regardless of your plan.

You can ask it to list your portfolios, show details for a specific asset, or check for new notifications. For example, 'Show me my assets in the downtown portfolio' or 'Are there any new alerts from ARGUS today?'

No, this server provides read-only access. You can use tools like `list_assets` and `get_portfolio` to view data, but you can't create or change records in your ARGUS Cloud account.

This server only handles your ARGUS Cloud asset and portfolio information. All communication is encrypted, and Vinkius runs the server in an ephemeral sandbox, so your real estate data is never stored.
