Agent MCP / Claude Code

UK property data in Claude Code

Claude Code is Anthropic's coding agent for the terminal, and it can install Homedata itself: paste one message with your key and it adds the server and checks it works. From then on it can pull real property records into whatever you are building, or answer a quick question about an address while you work.

Copy this to Claude Code

Install the Homedata MCP server (npx -y homedata-mcp) with my API key, YOUR_API_KEY, then find 63 Harvey Lane, Norwich to check it works.

Get an API key Or set it up by hand ↓ 
~/.config/claude-code/mcp.json
→ {
  "mcpServers": {
    "homedata": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "homedata-mcp"],
      "env": { "HOMEDATA_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Code (or run /mcp inside the CLI) so the homedata tools register.

Questions

Claude Code and Homedata

How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?

The quickest way is to paste the message on this page and let Claude Code do it. By hand, run: claude mcp add homedata -e HOMEDATA_API_KEY=your_key -- npx -y homedata-mcp. Type /mcp inside Claude Code to check the server is connected.

Do I need Python installed to use Homedata in Claude Code?

No. The Node edition runs with npx, so Node 18 or later is all you need, and Claude Code can add it for you from one message. A Python edition (pip install homedata-mcp) exists too, with the same tools.

Can I scope the MCP to a single project?

Yes. Drop an .mcp.json into your project root with the homedata server config. Claude Code will use that server only when run inside that project, which is useful if you want a different API key per repo.
