@lanten-ai/mcp-server

An MCP server that connects AI assistants to the Lanten property management API. Use it with Claude, Cursor, Zed, or any MCP-compatible client to manage tenants, units, and work orders using natural language.

Quick start

1. Get an API key — in your Lanten dashboard go to Settings → Developers and create a key.

2. Add to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lanten": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@lanten-ai/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "LANTEN_API_KEY": "lk_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

For Claude Desktop this file lives at:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

For Claude Code run: claude mcp add lanten -e LANTEN_API_KEY=lk_your_key -- npx -y @lanten-ai/mcp-server

3. Restart your client and start chatting:

"List all open work orders for Flat 4, 12 Oak Street" "Create a new tenant: Jane Smith, [email protected], assign her to unit abc-123" "Mark work order WO-214 as completed"
