Claude Desktop Setup

Follow these steps to connect Realastat to Claude Desktop. This gives Claude live access to your deals, documents, contacts, and more.

Prerequisites

Claude Desktop installed (Mac or Windows)
A Realastat account (any plan)

Connect via Settings (recommended)

Open Claude Desktop Settings

In Claude Desktop, click your profile avatar → Settings → Developer → Edit Config.

This opens claude_desktop_config.json in your default editor.

Add the Realastat MCP server

Add the following block inside the "mcpServers" object:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "realastat": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://realastat.com/api/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

If you already have other MCP servers configured, add "realastat" alongside them.

Save and restart Claude Desktop

Save the file, then fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop.

Authorize Realastat

On the next launch, Claude will prompt you to authorize the Realastat connection. A browser window will open; sign in with your Realastat account and click Allow.

You’re connected. Look for the tools icon in a Claude conversation to confirm Realastat tools are available.

Verify the connection

Start a new Claude conversation and try:

What deals do I have in Realastat?

Claude should respond with a summary of your deals. If it says it doesn’t have access, re-check the config file and make sure Claude Desktop was fully restarted.

Available tools

Once connected, Claude has access to these Realastat tools:

Tool	What it does
`list_deals`	List all deals with filters (stage, workspace, etc.)
`get_deal`	Get full detail on a single deal
`update_deal`	Update deal fields (stage, notes, seller info, etc.)
`list_contacts`	List all contacts in your workspace
`create_contact` / `update_contact`	Add or modify a contact
`list_documents`	List documents linked to a deal
`get_document`	Retrieve document content
`get_buy_box`	Read current buy box settings
`analyze_property`	Trigger a new property analysis

Claude only uses these tools when you ask it something that requires them. It won’t read your data in the background.

Troubleshooting

Claude says it doesn’t have Realastat tools

Make sure the config file is valid JSON (no trailing commas)
Fully quit Claude Desktop (not just close the window) and reopen it
Re-authorize if prompted

Authorization keeps failing

Make sure you’re signing in with the same email your Realastat account uses
Try opening the auth URL in an incognito window to clear cached sessions
