RentCast Property & Rents API and MCP server

API access

Your AI client reaches RentCast Property & Rents through one ParcelOps MCP endpoint, so there is no separate key to hold for it and no per-source client to write. Reaching it takes your own credentials (API key).

What this source cannot tell you

• ⚠ Anything outside United States. A request past that edge comes back empty rather than approximated.
• ⚠ Which years it spans, because the covered period is not declared.
• ⚠ Anything RentCast API does not publish. ParcelOps returns this source as it stands and never fills a blank field from a different one.
• ⚠ Commercial data under the customer’s own RentCast plan.
• ⚠ Value and rent figures are model estimates, not appraisals.
