Query Buildium properties using this MCP Server

This MCP Server exposes the `list_properties` and `get_property` tools to let you inspect your portfolio without leaving your shell. Claude Code runs these tools, filters the JSON output, and prints clean tables directly to stdout. You can pipe the terminal output to grep or save it to a local log file. Running a quick check on a specific building takes a single command instead of logging into a heavy web portal.

Audit maintenance tasks from the CLI

The `list_tasks` and `list_work_orders` tools retrieve your active maintenance queue directly into Claude Code. SREs and system administrators can use these tools to build automated shell scripts that check for critical property issues. You can set up a cron job that triggers Claude Code to run `list_tasks`, check for high-priority items, and alert your team if any work orders are stuck.

Look up vendors using Claude Code

The `list_vendors` tool retrieves your complete list of property contractors and service providers. Claude Code uses this tool to quickly find phone numbers or email addresses when an emergency repair arises. Instead of searching through contact databases, you ask your terminal agent to find emergency electricians. It queries `list_vendors` and prints the contact card instantly.
