AskHouse MCP Connector

What it is

The AskHouse MCP connector lets Claude answer questions about a specific property directly from AskHouse's grounded data — the same data behind every card family in the AskHouse product: risk, value, building, planning, area, energy, solar, roof, facade, score, and imagery. It also covers the arrival experience, feasibility questions, and 3D imagery lookups. Every answer is grounded — the connector never invents a figure or verdict that isn't present in the underlying tool output — and every call is authenticated to your own AskHouse account via OAuth, so answers respect your account's access and usage limits.

The 8 tools

Claude decides which tools to call based on your question. Most conversations start with resolve_property to turn an address into a property_id, then use one or more of the other tools against that id.

  • resolve_property — Resolve a free-text property address to a property_id. Call this FIRST — every other tool needs the property_id it returns. Returns candidate matches; when exactly one confident match is found it also returns the property hero and the topic menu.
  • property_menu — List the 11 topics you can ask about for a resolved property (risks, value, building, planning, area, energy, solar, roof, facade, score, imagery), with the property headline. Use when the user asks what is available.
  • property_answer — Get the full grounded answer for one topic of a resolved property — any grounded top-level topic slug in the category enum (e.g. risks, value, area, solar, roof, score, imagery, feasibility_* verbs). Returns headline, key facts, a card image URL, a web link, and ready-to-send Adaptive Card JSON.
  • ask_property — Answer a free-text question about a resolved property by routing it to the right grounded topic, including comparisons like 'compare the value with <address>'. Use ONLY when the topic is not obvious — when it is, call property_answer directly with that category.
  • compare_properties — Compare two resolved properties on one topic, returning both grounded answers side by side plus a comparison summary. Requires two property_ids — resolve both addresses first. Does NOT resolve addresses itself.
  • property_card_image — Get the shareable card image URL for one topic of a resolved property, for binding into an Adaptive Card Image element. Returns the image URL, alt text, dimensions and the web card link. Does NOT return facts or answers — use property_answer for those.
  • property_imagery — Fetch property imagery (satellite, aerial, street view, or facade) for a resolved property, returning image URLs and provenance. Does NOT return the composed topic card image — use property_card_image for that.
  • card_action — Fetch one grounded data slice for a resolved property: the full topic answer, or a single roof segment's data when segment_id is given. Data-only — no image, no Adaptive Card, no widget.

Adding this to Claude

AskHouse can be added to Claude as a custom connector:

  1. In Claude, open Settings → Connectors (or your client's equivalent custom connector / MCP server settings).
  2. Choose Add custom connector.
  3. Paste the AskHouse MCP connector URL: https://mcp.ask.house/mcp
  4. Follow the OAuth prompt to sign in with your AskHouse account. This is what lets the connector answer questions grounded in your account's properties and usage limits.
  5. Start a conversation and ask about a property by address — Claude will call the AskHouse tools as needed.
