How to Use the Zillow MCP in Cursor

Q: How does Cursor handle Zillow property searching?

You let the agent call searchproperty. The returned JSON—with addresses, prices, and lot sizes—is immediately available for your code to consume. It's real data.

Q: Can I use Cursor for Zillow listings that have price history?

Yes. By calling getpropertybyid, you get the full property details, including the price history. The agent can then write code to plot or analyze those changes.

Q: If I'm building a rental app, does Cursor support Zillow data?

The getrentalproperty tool supports this. It returns structured data like rent price and bathroom counts that your code can easily process.

Q: Does the MCP Server help with Zillow listings in a project scope?

Yes, you configure it at the project level using .cursor/mcp.json. This ensures every developer on the team has access to these core tools when coding.

Inject live Zillow market data directly into your code using Cursor.

Run Searches and Generate Code

When you need a property search, call `search_property`. The API response—containing address, price, lot size, etc.—gets injected directly into your code context. This means the AI can generate working functions that use live data responses rather than relying on mock stubs. You write production-ready code right inside Cursor.

Retrieve Detailed Property Context

Use `get_property_by_id` to grab all the necessary context for a specific listing. The tool returns tax info, price history, and full descriptions. This live data allows you to write code that accurately handles complex inputs, like generating reports based on historical pricing trends.

Handle Rental Data Streams

If you're building a rental finder, use `get_rental_property`. This returns the rent price, bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage. The AI can then write loops or comparisons in your code that process these structured data points automatically.

Setup guide

Set up Zillow MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Zillow MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Zillow transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Zillow tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.
