Praesago MCP Server

UK property area intelligence inside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.

Ask your AI assistant "is Walthamstow up and coming?" or "find areas in the North West under £250k with strong fundamentals" and get live, validated answers from Praesago's data — 2,292 England & Wales postcode districts scored monthly from 30+ government data sources (Land Registry, ONS, police.uk, EPC, planning registers and more).

This is a hosted (remote) MCP server — no install, no local process.

https://praesago.com/api/mcp

Transport: Streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC 2.0, protocol 2025-03-26).

Tools

Tool	What it answers
`get_area_score`	Trajectory Score (0-100), percentile, gentrification stage, backtested calibration
`get_market_pulse`	Live asking market: active listings, price reductions, median asking, time on market
`get_area_context`	Full district profile: demographics, income, tenure, IMD, health, education, broadband, flood risk, prices
`search_areas`	Screen districts by score, region and price ceiling
`compare_areas`	Two districts side by side
`search` / `fetch`	ChatGPT deep-research compatible aliases

get_market_pulse is collected weekly from property portals and exists nowhere else: Land Registry reports completions months after the fact, and the portals themselves do not publish reduction rates or time-on-market.

Honesty notes

The Trajectory Score measures the strength of signals that have historically preceded property price growth. It is a screening aid, not a prediction — and the server's instructions tell your assistant exactly that. Praesago publishes its full validation record, including the windows where the model failed: praesago.com/validation.

Calibration (measured across ~36,700 backtested district-windows): districts scoring 60+ beat their county's median price growth in 63% of three-year windows; districts under 40 managed 37%.
