@borough/mcp

Remote MCP bridge package for Borough, a read-only NYC real estate connector for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible clients.

Borough MCP gives AI tools authenticated access to:

• rental and sales search across the five boroughs
• area and neighborhood discovery
• market snapshots and trends
• property and building detail tools for paid tiers
• compact, chat-friendly responses designed for remote connector clients

Preferred Connection Model

For hosted MCP clients, use Borough's remote MCP endpoint:

https://borough.qwady.app/mcp

OAuth-capable clients should prefer the built-in Borough OAuth flow. That is the primary connector path for Claude and other hosted remote MCP clients.

Claude And Remote Clients

If your MCP client supports remote connectors and OAuth, use the hosted endpoint directly and complete the Borough sign-in flow when prompted.

For Claude-specific steps:

• Add Borough to Claude

Direct Bearer-Token Usage

For MCP clients that do not support Borough's OAuth flow, use a Borough API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer BOROUGH-<your_key>

Examples:

Cursor

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "borough": {
      "url": "https://borough.qwady.app/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer BOROUGH-<your_key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code

{
  "servers": {
    "borough": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://borough.qwady.app/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer BOROUGH-<your_key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

npx Bridge Usage

This package is mainly useful when you want to bridge the hosted Borough MCP endpoint into a stdio-only client.

BOROUGH_API_KEY=BOROUGH-<your_key> npx @borough/mcp

BOROUGH_API_KEY is required for the direct stdio bridge path.
