MCP support

Details
From the project READMEIDX Broker MCP by usefulapi
Use IDX Broker from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — look up leads and what they viewed, searched and saved, agents and offices, your account's own featured, sold, off-market and supplemental listings, saved links, widgets and MLS metadata, and create or update leads and add lead notes (each write needs an explicit confirmation). Hosted, no local install: connect with an IDX Broker access key.
Live endpoint: https://idx-broker.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/idx-broker
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://idx-broker.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http idx-broker https://idx-broker.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run/mcpto log in. - VS Code: Add to VS Code.
- Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"idx-broker": {
"url": "https://idx-broker.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your IDX Broker credentials.

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.
