Handle DoorLoop work orders directly in Claude Desktop

This MCP Server exposes the `list_work_orders` tool so you can check pending maintenance requests directly from your Claude Desktop chat window. You don't have to open a separate DoorLoop browser tab to see what's broken or which vendor is on it in Claude Desktop. When a tenant calls about a leak, ask Claude to run `create_work_order` with the unit ID and property details directly in the desktop app. It instantly pushes the job to DoorLoop, and you can immediately call `list_vendors` to find a plumber in the same Claude Desktop chat.

Inspect tenant and lease details inside Claude Desktop

The `get_tenant_details` tool pulls active tenant files straight into your Claude Desktop workspace without manual exports. You get immediate access to phone numbers, lease terms, and outstanding balances during your DoorLoop conversation in Claude Desktop. If you need to verify a move-out date, tell Claude Desktop to run `get_lease_details` on the active agreement. This local integration saves you from digging through nested menus in the DoorLoop property management portal while chatting.

Analyze DoorLoop rent rolls via Claude Desktop

The `get_rent_roll_report` tool fetches live financial data from your DoorLoop account directly into Claude Desktop. This lets you analyze occupancy rates and unpaid rent balances on the fly in Claude Desktop without exporting CSVs. You can command Claude Desktop to match this report against `list_properties` to see which buildings are underperforming. It turns raw DoorLoop accounting data into a clear list of units that need immediate collection calls inside your chat workspace.
