Zillow MCP: what exists, what works, and what investors use instead
Is there a Zillow MCP? Yes: Zillow launched an official Claude connector in October 2026, after a ChatGPT app in October 2025.
The short answer
Both are free and built for home shoppers: search listings, see a Zestimate, check affordability, request a tour. A dozen third-party "Zillow MCP" servers also read Zillow's public pages.
None of them finds deals before they hit the market, because each is built on listings. Compare them on listing and MLS MCPs.
Looking for off-market sellers, not listings? Goliath connects Claude to foreclosure, probate, tax-delinquency and other distress filings, plus the owners behind them. Book a demo
Zillow's official connector for Claude and ChatGPT
In Claude: open Customize, then Connectors, and connect Zillow. No Zillow account needed.
For most people searching "Zillow MCP," this is the answer.
Third-party Zillow and Redfin MCP servers
Before Zillow's connector, developers built their own. Most read Zillow's or Redfin's public pages for you; see our Redfin MCP page.
| Server | What it does | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| HasData Zillow MCP | Two read-only tools: search listings, read a property's full details. Hosted, works in Claude, Cursor and others. | 10 credits per call, 1,000 free credits to start |
| HasData Redfin MCP | Search for-sale, for-rent and sold listings; read one property page in full. | Shares HasData's credit pool |
| Apify Zillow MCPs (several authors) | Search by ZIP, by Zillow URL, or look up one property. Some combine Zillow, Redfin and Realtor.com. | Pay per call, varies by author |
| Open-source servers (for example sap156/zillow-mcp-server) | Run it yourself. Bring your own API key or access. | Free code; you pay for whatever data it calls |
The catch: Zillow's terms and the data itself
Two things to know before relying on a third-party Zillow server.
- Zillow's terms prohibit automated scraping. Zillow retired its public API in 2021, and its data feeds now run through Bridge Interactive for MLS partners.
- It's all on-market data. Every server here, Zillow's included, shows homes listed for sale or rent, or already sold.
This isn't legal advice. Read the terms yourself if your business depends on it.
Why listings are the wrong list for an investor
A home on Zillow already has an agent, an asking price and every buyer in town watching. The discount is mostly gone.
Investor and wholesaler deals usually show up elsewhere first, as seller signals:
- a pre-foreclosure or foreclosure filing at the county
- a probate case after an owner passes away
- tax delinquency, code violations or liens piling up
- an eviction, a divorce or a bankruptcy filing
- a house that's vacant, or owned by someone who lives out of state
What investors connect instead
Goliath is an investor CRM with distress data built in. Its MCP server at https://server.goliathdata.com/mcp connects Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and others to your account.
Through that one connection, your assistant can:
- Find properties by distress signal in a county or city. Signals include foreclosure, pre-foreclosure, probate, tax delinquency, code violations, liens, evictions, vacancy, divorce, bankruptcy and absentee owners.
- Read the filing behind each signal, newest first.
- Look up the owner, and skip trace for a phone number if your plan allows it.
- Save the results to a list and build a call list for your team.
- Send a text or email, once you've confirmed you have consent to contact that person.
- Open a deal and move it through your pipeline.
What it looks like in Claude
Once Goliath is connected, you can type:
"Find single-family homes in Shelby County with a pre-foreclosure filing in the last 30 days. Show me the owners, and add the ones who don't live at the property to a list called 'Shelby PFC – absentee'."

FAQ
Does Zillow have an official MCP server? Yes, an official Claude connector launched in October 2026.
Is there a Redfin MCP server? No official one, but HasData and several Apify authors offer servers that read Redfin's listing pages.
Is it legal to use a Zillow scraper MCP? Zillow's terms prohibit automated scraping of its site, and we're not your lawyer.
