# MCP access to UAEPropertyAPI

Use UAEPropertyAPI as tools in any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf and others). You need a RapidAPI key subscribed to the API; the free plan works. See https://uaepropertyapi.com/auth.md.

Calls made through MCP count against your RapidAPI plan exactly like direct HTTP calls.

## Option 1: RapidAPI MCP gateway

RapidAPI runs an MCP gateway at `https://mcp.rapidapi.com`. Pointing it at this API's host exposes every endpoint as an MCP tool:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "uae-property-api": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.rapidapi.com",
        "--header",
        "x-api-host: uae-real-estate-property.p.rapidapi.com",
        "--header",
        "x-api-key: <your-rapidapi-key>"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

## Option 2: Free Live Data MCP (open source)

[Free Live Data MCP](https://github.com/happyendpointhq/free-live-data-mcp) is an MIT-licensed connector from Happy Endpoint. It covers this API and 47 others behind four tools (`search_apis`, `search_endpoints`, `describe_endpoint`, `call_endpoint`), so the tool list stays small. Only `call_endpoint` uses quota.

```sh
git clone https://github.com/happyendpointhq/free-live-data-mcp.git
cd free-live-data-mcp
npm ci
```

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "free-live-data": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/free-live-data-mcp/src/server.mjs"],
      "env": { "RAPIDAPI_KEY": "<your-rapidapi-key>" }
    }
  }
}
```
