Does Zillow have an MCP server?
Zillow does not maintain an official MCP server. Community-built servers exist.
Zillow's only first-party AI integration is its app inside ChatGPT; it doesn't publish an MCP server you can connect to other clients.

Connect it
Runs on your machine over stdio, launched by your MCP client.
Add it from the terminal, then restart your session:
claude mcp add zillow -- npx -y <package-from-readme>Swap in the exact package and flags from the repo README — most servers need an API key passed as an environment variable.
Add --scope user to make it available in every project.
Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config and add the server to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"zillow": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"<package-from-readme>"
],
"env": {
"API_KEY": "…"
}
}
}
}Restart Claude Desktop after saving.
Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for
every project:
{
"mcpServers": {
"zillow": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"<package-from-readme>"
],
"env": {
"API_KEY": "…"
}
}
}
}A green dot in Settings → MCP means it connected.
Add to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"zillow": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"<package-from-readme>"
]
}
}
}Then pick the server from the tools menu in Copilot's agent mode.

A community server is unaudited third-party code that will hold your Zillow API credentials and see whatever data they unlock. Independent research puts SSRF vulnerabilities in roughly a third of public MCP servers, and 41% ship with no authentication at all.
- Read the source before running it — especially any network calls it makes.
- Check who maintains it and whether commits are recent (this one: 1.4y ago).
- Issue a scoped, revocable API key rather than an account-wide token.
- Prefer read-only credentials until you trust it with writes.
Questions
Does Zillow have an official MCP server?
No. Zillow does not maintain one. Third-party developers have built community servers, the most established being sap156/zillow-mcp-server, but they are not endorsed or supported by Zillow.
How do I connect Zillow to Claude?
Run the server locally and register it in Claude's MCP config. In Claude Code that's a single "claude mcp add" command; in Claude Desktop you add it to claude_desktop_config.json.
Is it safe to use a community Zillow MCP server?
Treat it like any dependency that gets your API keys. Community MCP servers are unaudited third-party code: independent research has found roughly a third of public MCP servers carry SSRF vulnerabilities and 41% ship with no authentication. Read the source, check the maintainer and commit recency, and scope the credentials you hand it.
How is this verdict verified?
Zillow's site, newsroom and GitHub org (zillow) have no documented MCP server for Zillow data, and no zillow.com namespace is in the MCP Registry. The most-starred Zillow-only server is sap156/zillow-mcp-server (~50 stars, uses the Zillow Bridge API; last updated May 2025). The newer ones are thin wrappers around scraping services. GitHub metadata is refreshed every six hours.
