Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.

This connection provides 8 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

Housing metrics are scattered across government websites.

Today, finding comprehensive housing data means hopping between HUD sites, state databases, and county portals. You copy a zip code from one page, then paste it into another to find the income limit. Then you have to start over on a third site just to get the Fair Market Rent for that same area. It's tedious, error-prone, and takes hours of manual clicking.

With this MCP connected through Vinkius, your agent handles the entire pipeline. You ask for 'FMR data for three counties in Ohio.' The system pulls the necessary codes using `list_counties`, fetches the required rates via `get_fmr_data`, and presents a clean table. You get the final answer immediately.

Get State-Level Data with `get_state_fmr_data`

Before this tool, getting statewide data meant downloading huge, non-standardized CSV files and manually merging them by county code. If you missed one file or misread a column header, your entire comparative analysis was flawed.

Now, calling `get_state_fmr_data` gives clean, structured JSON that your agent can read instantly. You're no longer dealing with messy spreadsheets; you’re dealing with actionable data points.

What your AI can actually do with this

This MCP lets your AI client access decades of official housing and economic records maintained by HUD. You can ask for specific rent data in a particular county or get statewide comparisons to track market shifts over time. Need to check income eligibility for an assistance program? It pulls the exact limits used by federal agencies.

The system also tracks Multifamily Tax Subsidy Project (MTSP) income requirements, which is crucial for property development analysis. Everything connects through Vinkius, giving your agent a single point of access to thousands of other data sources without switching catalogs. You can even pull basic geographic information, like listing all available states or finding every county within a given state, before pulling the deep metrics you need.

Questions you might have

How do I find all the states and their codes using list_states? +

Use list_states to get a definitive, up-to-date listing of every state and territory. This is your first step when you need to scope out data across multiple regions.

What's the difference between get_fmr_data and get_state_fmr_data? +

get_fmr_data pulls deep metrics for one specific county or metro area. get_state_fmr_data, however, gathers the full set of FMR data covering every major area across an entire state.

Can I check income limits for a housing project? Which tool do I use? +

Yes. Use get_mtsp_il_data. This specific function pulls the precise Multifamily Tax Subsidy Project (MTSP) required income limits, which are different from general county limits.

How does list_counties help with my research? +

The list_counties tool helps you establish a boundary. If you know the state but not the exact counties, running this first gives you the full list of potential data points.

What do I need to provide for authentication when calling a function like get_il_data? +

You must supply a valid HUD User API Key. This key is required in the connection settings before your agent runs any queries, ensuring secure access to the data.

How do I find all relevant metropolitan zones using list_metro_areas? +

This tool generates a comprehensive listing of defined Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs). You use these specific codes to narrow your search parameters when calling functions like get_fmr_data, guaranteeing accurate targeting.

When should I use get_state_il_data instead of querying an individual entity ID? +

Use get_state_il_data when you need to compare income limits across all counties within a single state. Running the query for one specific county only gives limited, isolated data points.

If my API request fails while running get_fmr_data, what should I check first? +

First, verify that you have provided a valid entity ID and the correct year range. Most errors happen because of missing or malformed geographic identifiers.

How do I find the specific ID for a county to get its rent data? +

First, use the list_states tool to get the state code, then use list_counties with that code. This will provide you with the 10-digit FIPS code (entity ID) needed for the get_fmr_data tool.

Can I retrieve rent data for an entire state at once? +

Yes! Use the get_state_fmr_data tool and provide the two-letter state code (e.g., 'NY' for New York). It will return FMR data for all metro areas and counties within that state.

What is the difference between IL and MTSP data? +

IL data (get_il_data) refers to general Income Limits for housing assistance, while MTSP data (get_mtsp_il_data) specifically targets Multifamily Tax Subsidy Projects. Both can be queried using the same entity IDs.
