Analyze Market Trends via MCP Server

Figure out historical market shifts by running `get_region_chart` to generate a URL image showing a region's Zestimate history. You can also drill down further using `get_chart`, which provides the same kind of valuation chart but for specific properties. These tools let your AI client build chains that analyze trends over time, making it easy to compare market movements between different geographical areas.

Deep Property Comparison and Valuation

Need to know how a property stacks up? Your agent can call `get_comps` to pull a list of recent sales that are comparable. For deeper analysis, use `get_deep_comps`, which returns rich data for both the main listing and all those comps. This makes it possible to build multi-step logic: first find comps with `get_comps`, then pass those results into `get_deep_comps` for a thorough comparison.

Executing Zillow Alternative Searches in Chains

Start by locating properties using `get_search_results`. After you find the basic listing, your chain can then call `get_zestimate` to get the current valuation for that specific property ID (ZPID). This two-step process gives immediate, actionable data. You're building pipelines where the output of finding an address immediately feeds into a valuation check, giving users real-time market insights.

Setup guide

Set up Zillow Alternative MCP in LangChain

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
langchain-mcp-adapters + langgraph packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install langchain-mcp-adapters langgraph langchain-openai. The MCP adapters package converts MCP tools into native LangChain BaseTool objects.
2

Connect via HTTP transport
Use MultiServerMCPClient with "transport": "http" pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Create a ReAct agent
Pass the discovered tools to create_react_agent() from LangGraph. The agent automatically routes Zillow Alternative tool calls through the MCP protocol.
4

Run with any LLM
Swap ChatOpenAI for ChatAnthropic, ChatGoogleGenerativeAI, or any LangChain-compatible model. The MCP tools work identically across all providers.

agent.py

from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

async with MultiServerMCPClient({
    "zillow-alternative-mcp": {
        "transport": "http",
        "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp",
    }
}) as client:
    tools = client.get_tools()

    agent = create_react_agent(
        ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
        tools,
    )
    result = await agent.ainvoke({
        "messages": "List recent Zillow Alternative transactions"
    })
    print(result["messages"][-1].content)
