Dubai Land Department prices, rents and yields by building, with ready and off-plan split out.
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).
claude mcp add --transport http dubai-diligence 'https://dubaidiligence.com/api/mcp'{
"mcpServers": {
"dubai-diligence": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://dubaidiligence.com/api/mcp"

Dubai Diligence MCP Server
Ask ChatGPT or Claude about the Dubai property market and get answers from the Dubai Land Department registered record, not from asking prices and not from a guess.
No API key. No sign-up. No installation.
https://dubaidiligence.com/api/mcpAdd that URL as a remote MCP server in any MCP-compatible client.
Why this exists
Every price you see advertised in Dubai is an asking price. The portals' inventory comes from agents, so they structurally cannot tell you what a home actually sold for. The Land Department publishes what it sold for, but its own portal puts a CAPTCHA on every query and offers no bulk download.
This server puts the registered record one question away.
The split nobody gives you free
74% of registered Dubai home sales are off-plan. So the single blended median that every data source publishes is mostly an off-plan price wearing a neutral label.
Palm Jumeirah, last 12 months of registered sales:
| Median AED/sqft | |
|---|---|
| Ready | 2,790 |
| Off-plan | 5,483 |
| Blended, as usually published | 3,645 |
A buyer of a ready apartment is shown a figure 31% above their market. A buyer off-plan is shown one far below theirs. The same number is wrong for both of them, in opposite directions.
dubai_price_split returns both sides, free and without a subscription. PropertyIndex carries an
"Off-plan : ready" ratio behind its Pro tier at AED 500 a month; this gives you the actual price on
each side instead of the ratio, and costs nothing.

Setup
Claude Desktop / Claude.ai — add a custom connector with the URL above.
Cline, Cursor, Windsurf and most clients — add to your MCP settings:
{
"mcpServers": {
"dubai-diligence": {
"url": "https://dubaidiligence.com/api/mcp"
}
}
}Anything else — it is plain JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP POST, protocol version 2025-06-18, and it
negotiates older versions. Try it with curl:
curl -s -X POST https://dubaidiligence.com/api/mcp \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'What the numbers mean
- Homes only. Land, whole buildings, offices, shops and hotel inventory are excluded, because somebody asking about a community is asking about homes. They are real markets with real prices; they are simply not the market the question is about.
- Sales only. Mortgage and gift registrations are excluded. A mortgage records a loan, not a price, and a gift is often nominal. They are about one registration in four.
- Gross yield, from registered Ejari rent contracts against registered sale prices. Service charges, agency fees and vacancy are not deducted.
- As registered. These are facts from the public record, not an assessment or a valuation by Dubai Diligence. We do not publish forecasts, because a forecast is an opinion and the whole claim of this dataset is that it only contains what actually happened.
Also free, if you would rather have the files
