Shared Property Search across Teams

Commit the MCP configuration to your repo, allowing every developer to use `search_property`. The tool pulls details like address, price, and year built for residential listings. This centralizes access. Instead of remembering individual API keys, the whole team uses standardized tools managed via `.vscode/mcp.json`.

Team-wide Access to Detailed Listings

Use `get_property_by_id` for any listing requiring deep context. The tool returns tax info, features, photos, and the full description. This means every developer can pull comprehensive data into their work without manual setup or authentication headaches.

Consistency in Rental Data Pulls

The `get_rental_property` tool standardizes how your team searches for rentals. It consistently returns rent price, bedrooms, bathrooms, and property type. This ensures that the data structure is predictable whether you're working on a personal project or an enterprise feature.
