Public NYC renter guides and neighborhood asking-rent percentiles, plus scoped OAuth tools to read apartment alerts, manage saved searches, save or track alerted apartments, and view Housing Lottery statuses. Hosted by RentReboot at https://rentreboot.com/api/mcp; public tools work without an account.
Scored across 13 tools
Most tools are cleanly separated by resource and action (account, search preferences, alerted listings, lottery applications, guides, rent data). The main risk is between find_search_neighborhoods and list_neighborhoods, which both return neighborhood names but for different purposes, and to a lesser degree between list_alerted_listings and list_historical_matches, which the descriptions do resolve.
The set is overwhelmingly consistent snake_case verb_noun (get_*, list_*, update_*, set_*). The only deviation is the single find_ verb in find_search_neighborhoods among otherwise list_/get_ lookups, a minor wrinkle rather than a pattern break.
Thirteen tools is well within a healthy range and each one maps to a distinct renter-facing capability (lookup, read prefs, change prefs, toggle alerts, mutate listing state, learn). Nothing feels padded or redundant.
The read/update lifecycle is covered for the core renter state: account, search preferences, alert on/off, and per-listing save/hide/contacted/toured/applied, plus guides, rent data, and lottery status. Minor gaps exist — no way to fetch a single alerted listing by id (only list), and lottery applications are read-only — but these are handled or intentionally out of scope.
Look up neighborhood names and ids the connected renter can add to their alert search, in their own market. Returns names only, not listings.
Inputs: limit, query.
Show the connected renter's plan (free or paid), whether apartment alerts are on or paused, market, alert frequency, and delivery channel, plus a link to manage the account.
Inputs: no named parameters.
Retrieve a public RentReboot guide as Markdown using its slug.
Inputs: slug (required).
Retrieve aggregate asking-rent percentiles and sample sizes for a published NYC neighborhood. Values are not individual listings or personal data.
Inputs: area (required), bedrooms, category.
Show the connected renter's saved alert search: budget, bedrooms, bathrooms, neighborhoods, move-in date, no-fee and rent-stabilized filters, amenities, subway lines, alert frequency, and channel. Read this before changing the search.
Inputs: no named parameters.
List apartments RentReboot already sent to the connected renter, newest first, with saved, hidden, and contacted/toured/applied state. Pass nextCursor to see older alerts (up to the latest 200). Hidden apartments are left out unless includeHidden is true. Links open the listing through RentReboot. Never returns account identifiers or broker contact details.
Inputs: limit, cursor, includeHidden. Returns: count, results, nextCursor
List historical apartment records matching the connected renter’s saved requirements. These records do not establish current or future availability. Read-only and excludes broker contact details and account identifiers.
Inputs: limit. Returns: count, results
List the connected renter’s provider-confirmed NYC Housing Connect application statuses. Read-only. Excludes credentials, application numbers, income, household details, email, and internal identifiers.
Inputs: limit. Returns: count, results
List NYC neighborhoods that have published RentReboot asking-rent percentile data.
Inputs: limit, query.
Search RentReboot public NYC renter guides by keyword and return canonical URLs.
Inputs: query (required), limit.
Pause (enabled=false) or resume (enabled=true) the connected renter's apartment alerts. Their search, plan, billing, and Housing Connect settings stay as they are. Confirm with the renter first.
Inputs: enabled (required).
Change the connected renter's state for one apartment from their alerts: save it, hide it, or mark it contacted, toured, or applied (status "none" clears it). Same as the buttons on the RentReboot dashboard. Use a listingId from list_alerted_listings.
Inputs: listingId (required), saved, hidden, status.
Change the connected renter's saved alert search. Send only the fields to change; everything else stays. Saves exactly like the RentReboot preferences page, so its rules apply (for example a search always keeps at least one neighborhood). For a new account, set city together with neighborhoods once; after that the market cannot change here. Confirm the change with the renter first. Weekly recap pauses individual alerts.
Inputs: city, channel, maxRent, minRent, +13 more.
