Connect Zillow MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Zillow to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
MCP Server: Get Full Property Details
The `get_property_by_id` tool pulls every detail about a specific listing. You get the address, price history, tax info, features, description, and photos all in one shot. Cascade reads this context and knows exactly what data points you need for your report. It doesn't stop when it finds an ID; it runs through the whole sequence automatically.
Windsurf: Search for Rentals
Use `get_rental_property` to pull down specific rental listings. You can target rent price, bedroom count, bathrooms, square footage, property type, and other listing details. If your goal is 'find all three-bedroom rentals under $3000,' Windsurf chains this tool with context gathering tools until the entire list is built out.
MCP Server: Search Residential Listings
Need to find homes by location? The `search_property` tool returns details for residential listings. This includes address, price, bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, lot size, year built, property type, and listing status. Set a goal like 'build a list of all 4-bedroom houses in ZIP 90210.' Windsurf will autonomously call `search_property` multiple times until the criteria are fully met.
