How to Use the Zillow Alternative MCP in Cursor
Inject live real estate metrics and comparable sales into your code using Cursor’s agent mode.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Zillow Alternative MCP to Cursor
Create your Vinkius account to connect Zillow Alternative to Cursor and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Fetch property valuations and Zestimate data.
When you need a valuation, run `get_zestimate` to get the most current estimate for any given ZPID. The `get_chart` tool generates an image URL showing how that specific Zestimate has fluctuated over time. This means your code can pull in live historical context instead of just using hardcoded values.
Generate deep reports on comparable sales.
The `get_comps` tool returns a list of recent, highly relevant comparable sales. For maximum detail, use `get_deep_comps`, which gives you rich data points for both the main property and those comps. This functionality lets your AI agent write code that includes comprehensive market justification.
Analyze regional demographics and rates.
Need to know what's happening outside the listing? You can call `get_demographics` for a region, or get current mortgage rate summaries with `get_rate_summary`. The tools also handle neighborhood mapping via `get_region_children`. This lets you write code that includes macro-level market context.
