Compass real-estate for Claude — search, property details, photos, price history, compare

Install

Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

NPM package compass-mcp
Claude Code
claude mcp add compass-mcp -e 'COMPASS_WS_PORT=<COMPASS_WS_PORT>' -e 'COMPASS_COMMUNITIES_FILE=<COMPASS_COMMUNITIES_FILE>' -- npx -y compass-mcp@1.1.11
JSON configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code)
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "compass-mcp": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "compass-mcp@1.1.11"
            ],
            "env": {
                "COMPASS_WS_PORT": "<COMPASS_WS_PORT>",
                "COMPASS_COMMUNITIES_FILE": "<COMPASS_COMMUNITIES_FILE>"
            }
        }
    }
}

Environment variables

  • COMPASS_WS_PORT Override the fetchproxy WebSocket port (default 37149).
  • COMPASS_COMMUNITIES_FILE Path to a JSON string-array of community names for feature extraction; overrides the built-in Lake Lure / mountain-NC default vocabulary.

compass-mcp

Compass real-estate access as an MCP server for Claude — search listings, fetch property details, photo galleries, price history, and run affordability/mortgage math, all via natural language.

⚠️ Compass does not publish a public consumer API. This server scrapes the same server-rendered HTML compass.com itself ships to your browser, routed through your own signed-in browser tab via the ContextMint Bridge extension. Every request acts on behalf of your existing session — your cookies, your TLS, your JS context — exactly as if you'd clicked it in the browser yourself. Treat this as informal use of Compass's website. Use at your own discretion.

Tools

ToolPurposeAuth-scoped
compass_search_propertiesSearch listings by location, price band, beds, home type. Slugifies free-text into Compass's URL routing and extracts the SSR listings array.
compass_get_propertyFull record for a property by URL or listing_id_sha. Address, neighborhood, beds/baths, sqft, lot, price + $/sqft, monthly charges, MLS status, amenities, schools, parcel number.
compass_get_property_photosFull photo gallery — every image in listing.media[] with original + thumbnail URLs and pixel dimensions. Floorplans/other media gated behind include_all_categories.
compass_get_price_historyFull listing-history events (Listed / Sold / Pending / Price Change / Delisted) with date, price, status, and MLS attribution. Returns both this-listing and prior-listing aggregates.
compass_compare_propertiesSide-by-side comparison of up to 25 properties with an opt-in aligned summary table. Per-target errors captured per-row. Concurrent fetches.
compass_calculate_affordabilityLocal affordability calculator — max purchase price from income + DTI + rates. No network.
compass_get_by_addressResolve a free-text street address to the canonical Compass URL, listing_id_sha, and pid in one call. Returns { resolved: false, error: "no listing found" } rather than throwing when there is no match.
compass_resolve_addressesBulk version of compass_get_by_address: resolves many addresses in one call with the same rung walker and a per-row error contract.
compass_bulk_getFetch up to 200 listings by URL or listing_id_sha in one call. One row per target; per-target errors captured per-row.
compass_get_comparable_rentalsNearby rental listings for a property, searched in the target's own city/state/ZIP.
compass_get_agent_listingsA Compass agent's active listings (closed deals via include_closed).
compass_calculate_mortgageLocal PITI calculator — principal+interest, taxes, insurance, HOA, PMI. No network.
compass_get_saved_homesNot yet supported — Compass renders /overview/favorites via auth-scoped GraphQL we have not yet identified. Throws a clear "not yet wire" error.✓
compass_get_saved_searchesNot yet supported — same constraint as saved homes.✓
compass_healthcheckRound-trips a no-op request through the bridge to confirm the WebSocket bridge, the extension and the signed-in compass.com tab are responsive.
compass_register_sessionRegister or refresh a logical session keyed by account identity (local; no network).
compass_set_active_sessionSwitch which registered session answers future requests (local).
compass_get_session_contextList the registered sessions and the active one (local).

Response size

The listing read tools take an optional view argument: "compact" (the default) or "full". Compact strips image and avatar URLs (including primary_photo_url / primary_thumbnail_url) and keeps every other field; view: "full" returns the payload with those URLs intact.

Tools that take view: compass_search_properties, compass_get_property, compass_bulk_get, compass_compare_properties, compass_get_price_history, compass_get_comparable_rentals, compass_get_agent_listings, compass_get_by_address.

Changed in 1.1.9: compass_get_property, compass_bulk_get, compass_compare_properties, compass_get_price_history and compass_get_comparable_rentals used to return every field, media URLs included. They now default to compact like the other read tools. If you relied on photo or avatar URLs from these tools, pass view: "full", or use compass_get_property_photos for the gallery.

compass_get_property_photos takes no view — its gallery URLs are the whole point of the tool, so it always returns them.

Acknowledgement of Terms

By using this MCP server, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

1. This server accesses your own Compass session. Every request is dispatched through your own browser tab via the ContextMint Bridge extension — your cookies, your TLS, your session. It does not — and cannot — access anyone else's account.

2. Compass's Terms of Use govern your use of this server, just as they govern your direct use of compass.com. The clauses most relevant here:

You may not automatedly crawl or query the Services for any purpose or by any means (including, without limitation, screen and database scraping, spiders, robots, crawlers and any other automated activity with the purpose of obtaining information from the Services) unless you have received prior express written permission from the applicable Compass Company.

And: "You agree to keep your password confidential, not use others' accounts, nor permit others to use your account."

You are agreeing to those terms — read by the maintainer 2026-05-23 — every time you invoke a tool in this server. Compass's terms prohibit automated crawling without written permission, and IDX listing data is licensed for personal, non-commercial use only.

3. Personal, non-commercial use only. This project is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or in partnership with Compass, Inc. It is a personal automation tool that reads the same server-rendered HTML compass.com itself ships to your browser. Do not use it to bulk-extract listings, redistribute IDX data, train AI models, populate a competing real-estate product, or for any commercial purpose.

4. Stability is not guaranteed. This server reads private inline-script state (global.uc.sharedReactAppProps, window.__INITIAL_DATA__.props.listingRelation.listing) and SSR URL conventions (/homes-for-sale/<slug>/, /homedetails/<slug>/<id>_lid/) that Compass may change without notice. It may break. It may stop working. That's by design — the surface is not theirs to maintain on our behalf.

5. You accept full responsibility for any consequences of using this server in connection with your Compass access — rate limiting, account suspension, IP blocks, AWS WAF challenges, or any enforcement action Compass takes. If Compass objects to your use, stop using this server.

This section is the maintainer's good-faith summary of the terms — it is not legal advice and does not modify or supersede Compass's actual ToU.

Install

Option A — npx (after first publish)

Add to .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "compass": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "compass-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
Option B — from source
git clone https://github.com/chrischall/compass-mcp
cd compass-mcp
npm install
npm run build
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "compass": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/compass-mcp/dist/bundle.js"]
    }
  }
}
One-time browser setup

compass-mcp talks to your browser through the ContextMint Bridge extension, which is shared across every fetchproxy-based MCP (zillow-mcp, opentable-mcp, resy-mcp, …). Install it once from the ContextMint Bridge releases:

  • Chrome: download the Chrome zip, unzip it, then chrome://extensions → toggle Developer mode → Load unpacked → pick the unzipped folder.
  • Safari: the bridge ships inside the ContextMint app; you enable it in Safari's settings. The ContextMint app has no public download yet, so there is no Safari install link to give — use Chrome for now.

Where it comes from. ContextMint Bridge is the fetchproxy browser extension under its new name, from the same maintainer — fetchproxy's own README (Extension) points to it. Its source is public at nullnet-app/contextmint-bridge: build it yourself (its README covers npm run build), or check a release zip against the .sha256 file published beside it:

shasum -a 256 -c contextmint-bridge-chrome-<version>.zip.sha256

Open compass.com and sign in. That's all the auth this server needs.

How it works

┌────────────────┐  stdio   ┌──────────────────┐   WS   ┌──────────────────┐    fetch()    ┌─────────────┐
│ MCP client     │◀────────▶│  dist/bundle.js  │◀──────▶│  ContextMint     │◀────────────▶│ compass.com  │

The MCP server runs in Node, but every HTTP call to compass.com is dispatched into your live browser tab through the ContextMint Bridge extension. Each request rides your existing session — TLS fingerprint, cookies, and JS execution context all match the page that's already on screen. No headless browser stand-in, no separate identity, no third-party proxy: just your real browser, acting on its own behalf, with the MCP server picking what to ask for.

Compass's pages are SSR React with no public JSON API — every tool extracts data from inline-script globals (global.uc.sharedReactAppProps on search pages, window.__INITIAL_DATA__.props.listingRelation.listing on homedetails). The client wraps that into the tool surface so callers never have to parse HTML themselves.
