How to Use the RentCast MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure RentCast in Cursor?

Add the MCP Server configuration to your project's .cursor/mcp.json file. Provide your RentCast API key, enable Agent mode in the chat, and your agent can start calling the tools.

Q: Can my Cursor agent write code using RentCast valuation tools?

Yes. Your agent can call getsalevaluation to understand the exact payload schema. It then writes the TypeScript or Python code to parse and store those valuations.

Q: Can I use RentCast to fetch rental comps during a Cursor chat session?

Yes. You can ask your agent to pull rental comps using getrentalcomparables right in the chat panel. It will display the live data and help you write code to analyze it.

Write real estate apps in Cursor using live property valuations and market comps injected directly into your codebase.

Inject Real Market Data into Cursor

Stop writing code against stale mock data or hardcoded JSON files. This MCP Server lets your Cursor agent pull live property details using `get_property_by_id` while you write your application logic. You can build, test, and debug your data pipelines using real-world real estate records. The agent calls the tools directly to see how the API responds to different address formats. This eliminates the guesswork of integration, letting you write cleaner code that handles real-world edge cases.

Test Valuations and Comps in Real Time

Implementing valuation algorithms requires precise testing against actual market numbers. Use `get_sale_valuation` and `get_rental_valuation` to fetch automated valuation models directly inside your editor. Running this MCP Server inside your editor lets your agent write test suites that validate your application's calculations against these live benchmarks. This speeds up your development loop. Instead of manually copying API responses from a terminal, your agent pulls the exact payload structure to write highly accurate parsing functions.

Write Trend Analyzers in Cursor

Building a dashboard that tracks market shifts requires solid historical context. Use `list_market_trends` to pull ZIP-code metrics and `get_sale_comparables` to grab nearby sales data. Your agent can use this live data to write and test statistical models right in your workspace. This makes it easy to build features like automated comp reports or investment calculators. Your agent analyzes the live payload structure and writes the exact frontend components needed to display the data.

Setup guide

Set up RentCast 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 RentCast 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 RentCast transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the RentCast tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.
