What data does it provide?

Each search_listings call returns up to 25 listings (one page) with the complete 48-field listingData as rendered by PropertyGuru itself. Highlights:

No field pruning. Server returns the raw listingData structure — the example below is the exact JSON a caller receives.

Demo

Real output of search_listings(region="sg", listing_type="rent", freetext="Orchard", bedrooms_min=3, price_min=3000000, price_max=5000000):

{
  "count": 25,
  "listings": [
    {
      "id": 25472440,
      "price": { "value": 3499999, "pretty": "S$ 3,499,999", "type": { "text": "Negotiable" } },
      "pricePerArea": { "localeStringValue": "S$ 1,868.66 psf" },
      "area": { "localeStringValue": "1,873 sqft" },
      "bedrooms": 3, "bathrooms": 3,
      "localizedTitle": "Orchard Scotts",
      "fullAddress": "251 Orchard Road",
      "shortAddress": "Orchard / River Valley (D09-10)",
      "mrt": { "nearbyText": "10 min (840 m) from NS21 Newton MRT Station" },

}

How it works

PropertyGuru is a Next.js SSR site. When you visit a listing-search URL, the server embeds the complete result set as JSON at a well-known DOM id:

<script id="__NEXT_DATA__" type="application/json">{
  "props": { "pageProps": { "pageData": { "data": {
    "listingsData": [ { "listingData": { ... }, ... }, ... ]
  } } } }
}</script>

This MCP server:

1. Builds a filter URL using the same minPrice/maxPrice/bedrooms[]/freetext param spelling PropertyGuru's own frontend uses.

2. Fetches the HTML page with a plain browser User-Agent.

3. Parses __NEXT_DATA__ (regex → json.loads).

4. Returns the raw listingData array as JSON to the caller.

Why no third-party API key: because we're not using PropertyGuru's paid partner APIs — we're reading the same HTML your browser would receive.

Tools

search_listings

The primary tool. Returns a page of full listings.

get_listing_count

Cheap probe returning only the count for a search (use to size a query before fetching).

Installation

# Clone and install
git clone https://github.com/kkukoo/propertyguru-mcp.git
cd propertyguru-mcp

# Option A: uv (recommended)
uv venv && uv pip install -e .

# Option B: plain pip
python -m venv .venv && ./.venv/bin/pip install -e .

# Run tests
python -m pytest tests/ -v

After install, the MCP server is available three ways (all equivalent):

# 1. Console script
.venv/bin/propertyguru-mcp

# 2. Module invocation
.venv/bin/python -m propertyguru_mcp

# 3. Direct path (no install needed if you prefer running from source)
python src/propertyguru_mcp/server.py

The server talks MCP over stdio (the default transport for MCP clients). It does not listen on any network port.

Hooking up to your MCP client

Below are working config snippets. Replace /path/to/propertyguru-mcp and the python interpreter with whatever you used in the install step.

Hermes Agent — ~/.hermes/config.yaml

mcp_servers:
  propertyguru:
    command: /path/to/propertyguru-mcp/.venv/bin/propertyguru-mcp
    args: []
    timeout: 60
    connect_timeout: 30

Reload via hermes gateway restart (from a shell outside Hermes) or /restart from inside the gateway chat.

Claude Desktop — ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "propertyguru": {
      "command": "/path/to/propertyguru-mcp/.venv/bin/propertyguru-mcp",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after editing.

Cursor — ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "propertyguru": {
      "command": "/path/to/propertyguru-mcp/.venv/bin/propertyguru-mcp",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

Cline (VS Code extension)

In Cline Settings → MCP, add:

{
  "propertyguru": {
    "command": "/path/to/propertyguru-mcp/.venv/bin/propertyguru-mcp",
    "args": []
  }
}

Continue.dev

Edit ~/.continue/config.json:

{
  "experimental": {
    "modelContextProtocolServers": [{
      "name": "propertyguru",
      "transport": {
        "type": "stdio",
        "command": "/path/to/propertyguru-mcp/.venv/bin/propertyguru-mcp",
        "args": []
      }
    }]
  }
}

Any OpenAI Agents SDK-compatible client

The standard MCP stdio pattern works:

from agents.mcp import MCPServerStdio

async with MCPServerStdio(
    name="propertyguru",
    params={
        "command": "/path/to/propertyguru-mcp/.venv/bin/propertyguru-mcp",
        "args": [],
    },
) as server:
    tools = await server.list_tools()

Known limitations

• Single-page responses (25 listings). PropertyGuru's &page=N query-string is unreliable from non-browser User-Agents (Cloudflare blocks intermittently). Path-style /{region}/property-for-sale/2 works but is untested in the server. If you need > 25 listings, run multiple freetexts / districts and merge client-side.

• Cloudflare. If PropertyGuru starts challenging this server's User-Agent or your IP, you'll get HTTP 403 errors. Workarounds: slow down request rate; route via a residential proxy; switch to a browser-based toolset (e.g. Hermes browser_exec).

• Field drift. PropertyGuru can reshape __NEXT_DATA__ any time. When it does, search_propertyguru will raise and you'll need to re-trace the path (look at the live page's __NEXT_DATA__ in browser DevTools).

• Singapore + Malaysia only. PropertyGuru has other regional sites (propertyguru.co.id, .co.th) — PRs welcome.

• No autocomplete endpoint. There's a separate RapidAPI endpoint that does location autocomplete; if you want that here, it's a clean addition (file an issue or open a PR).

• No detail endpoint. To get full listing descriptions / floor plans, you need one extra fetch per listing — not implemented yet.

Roadmap

• Stable multi-page support (handle Cloudflare + path-style /{n} pagination)

• autocomplete_locations(query) — return objectId / district / MRT proximity

• get_listing_detail(listing_url) — full description, all photos, floor plans

• Built-in rate limiter (configurable requests/min) to stay polite to PropertyGuru

• Optional thin server-side projection (e.g. fields=summary) to save caller tokens

• Indonesia / Thailand region support

Contributing

See CONTRIBUTING.md. PRs welcome — especially for:

• New regions (Indonesia/Thailand)

• New endpoints (autocomplete, detail, project pages)

• Tests for additional URL parameter combinations

• Better Cloudflare resilience

• Example usage for other MCP clients (Windsurf, Codex, OpenClaw, etc.)
