What is the Ndi MCP server?

Connect any MCP-compatible LLM (Claude, Cursor, Continue) to 9,400+ AI-scored commercial real estate deals and 118,000+ closed comps across the Northeast US. The ndi mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 14 defined tools rather than through you.

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

  • search_deals — Find active listings by state, type, score, price, cap rate
  • get_deal — Full deal details + scoring breakdown + sell signal
  • search_comps — 118K+ closed transactions for benchmarking
  • score_deal — Submit any deal for AI scoring
  • get_market_benchmarks — Cap rate + PSF benchmarks by state/type
  • find_1031_candidates — Ranked replacement properties for 1031 exchange
  • get_sell_signal — Sell probability for a specific listing
  • get_market_summary — State-level market overview
  • get_comps — Closed comp lookup — 118K+ records, up to 10/call
  • get_submarket_intel — Submarket profile: cap rates, comp velocity, score dist
  • get_oz_deals — Opportunity Zone deals + OZ+1031 crossover flags
  • batch_score_deals — Score up to 10 deals in one call

Adding it to your client

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at mcp on PyPI and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

Configuration

You will need one environment variable: NDI_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

When to reach for it

Plenty of AI and media services servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Ndi's toolset — search_deals, get_deal, search_comps and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by creintel; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Caveats

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Ndi.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the ndi mcp server does with a few real requests.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Ndi to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 14 tools (search_deals, get_deal, search_comps, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Ndi directly.
