Get started

  1. Add the remote MCP server URL in your AI client. See Install for client-specific steps.
  2. If your client asks for authorization, complete the brightplace consent flow.
  3. Ask the client to use brightplace Connect for an apartment search.
  4. Review listing details, tour slots, and any tour request before acting on them.

Typical flow

A renter conversation usually walks through the tools in this order:
  1. search_listings — find listings matching objective criteria.
  2. get_listing — read full detail, including brightplace grades, for a result.
  3. get_neighborhood_guide / get_financial_guide — add neighborhood context and affordability detail for a listing.
  4. get_tour_availability — check open tour slots.
  5. book_tour — submit a tour request for a chosen slot.
Only book_tour performs a write. Review the renter name, email, phone, listing, and slot before allowing it.

Example workflow

A full renter conversation, with the tool each turn triggers:
  1. Search. The renter asks:
    The client calls search_listings and returns a list of matches.
  2. Inspect a result. The renter asks to see one of them:
    The client calls get_listing with that listing_id, including its brightplace grades.
  3. Add context. The renter wants more than the snapshot:
    The client calls get_neighborhood_guide and get_financial_guide for the listing.
  4. Find a tour. The renter asks:
    The client calls get_tour_availability and lists open slots.
  5. Book it. The renter picks a slot:
    The client calls book_tour. Confirm the renter name, email, phone, listing, and slot before allowing this write.
