Details
From the project READMEAskRentAI — Rent Manager MCP Server
Ask your Rent Manager property portfolio anything, from the AI you already use.
AskRentAI is a hosted, read-only MCP server for Rent Manager, the property management platform used across a large share of US rental housing. It gives any MCP-compatible client live access to your portfolio — NOI, rent roll, delinquency, vacancy, lease expirations, work orders, vendor spend, financial reports and stored documents.
https://api.askrentai.com/mcp
Read-only by design. AskRentAI reads from Rent Manager and never writes to it. It cannot post a charge, edit a lease, or change a tenant record. Point a read-only Rent Manager API user at it and the blast radius is zero.
Why this exists
Rent Manager ships a capable web API. Turning it on is easy; using it is not — somebody has to know which endpoint holds the data, how the tables relate, how to authenticate and page. That's a developer, and most operators don't have one to spare for a reporting question.
So API access sits switched on and unused, and everyone goes back to exporting reports by hand.
AskRentAI closes that gap: the AI calls the API for you, at the moment you ask.
What you can ask
Plain English, no report names, no exports:
- "Which properties are below budget on NOI this quarter?"
- "Who's more than 30 days delinquent, and how much in total?"
- "Which leases expire in the next 90 days, and what are those units paying?"
- "How long are work orders staying open, by property?"
- "How much did I spend with each vendor last year, and did anyone's pricing jump?"
- "Run a year-over-year P&L and tell me which expense lines moved."
Works for apartments, single-family, commercial, self-storage, and mobile home / RV communities — anything Rent Manager tracks.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
