Perplexity

Indexing Comparative Property Data

When you run `get_comps`, the resulting list of comparable sales becomes part of your indexed knowledge. This means your RAG application can answer questions like, 'Based on my last 10 searches, what was the average price point for comps?' Similarly, calling `get_deep_comps` populates the index with rich property data, allowing you to query historical performance against new listings.

Knowledge-Augmented Valuation Checks

Need context around a valuation? Instead of just running `get_zestimate`, you can combine that output with regional trends. For instance, your index might hold the results from `get_region_chart` and answer, 'How has this property's Zestimate changed compared to the neighborhood average over the last five years?' This makes the MCP tool output a searchable source of truth.

Retrieving Deep Property Search Results

Use `get_deep_search_results` to get more than standard listing data. The resulting rich property details are indexed, letting you ask specific questions about the listing's features or history months later. It’s all part of one unified knowledge base. This ability is huge for building applications that require deep memory regarding real estate market performance.

from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI

# Connect to the MCP
mcp_client = BasicMCPClient(
    "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)
mcp_tool_spec = McpToolSpec(client=mcp_client)

# Convert MCP tools to LlamaIndex tools
tools = await mcp_tool_spec.to_tool_list_async()

# Create and run the agent
agent = FunctionAgent(
    tools=tools,
    llm=OpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
    system_prompt="You have access to Zillow Alternative tools.",
)
response = await agent.run("List recent Zillow Alternative data")
