Scout for developers

Scout is a public MCP server. Any Claude, Cursor, Copilot, or custom AI agent can call Scout’s tools to find real estate agents, route leads, and subscribe to seller-intent signals.

Scout is free for every agent in America — the AI platforms pay for access. If you’re shipping an AI product that wants production-grade data, this is the page.

Endpoint

https://scout.realestate/api/mcp

HTTP / JSON-RPC 2.0. Protocol version 2025-03-26. See the full docs in the repo at docs/mcp/README.md.

Quick test

curl https://scout.realestate/api/mcp \

       "params":{"name":"scout.coverage","arguments":{}}}'

Claude Desktop install

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scout": {
      "url": "https://scout.realestate/api/mcp",
      "transport": "http",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer flika_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Anonymous read tools (coverage, search_listings, find_agent) work without a key. Write tools require a key — email spencer@flikah.com with your brokerage name and a one-line use case.

Rate limits

  • Anonymous: 30 requests / minute / IP
  • Keyed: 300 requests / minute / key
  • route_lead: 20 writes / day / key (adjustable for signed partners)
