- Subscribe to proprietary seller-intent signals (probate, NOD, FSBO)

Install in Claude Desktop
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or the equivalent path on Windows/Linux:
{
"mcpServers": {
"scout": {
"url": "https://scout.realestate/api/mcp",
"transport": "http",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer flika_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
}
}
}
}
Anonymous read tools (coverage, search_listings, find_agent) work without the Authorization header. Write tools (route_lead, get_seller_signals) require a Scout API key.
Request an API key
Email [email protected] with your brokerage or use-case and we'll issue a key. Comped for individual agents; standard terms for brokerages (see Referral terms below).
Quick test — no install required
curl https://scout.realestate/api/mcp \

"params":{"name":"scout.coverage","arguments":{}}}'
Referral terms

- Listing-side: 25% of the receiving agent's commission
- Tail: 18 months from first introduction
- Payment: net-30 after funded close
Agent verification
Every Scout-listed agent is license-verified before their pin becomes discoverable via scout.find_agent. Verification checks the state real estate commission's public licensee record (SC: LLR; GA: REC) and uses Claude-powered fuzzy name matching. A pin only surfaces in search results if the agent's license is currently active.
Rate limits
- Anonymous: 30 requests / minute / IP
- Keyed: 300 requests / minute / key
route_leadwrites: 20 / day / key (adjustable for signed partners)

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.
