Security Report

6.2
Moderate6.2Moderate Risk

PropRaven MCP server is well-structured with proper authentication via API keys and reasonable permission scoping appropriate for a property data service. Code quality is good with proper error handling and input validation. Minor issues include broad error catching without logging and potential unvalidated date parsing, but these do not materially impact security. Supply chain analysis found 2 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 2 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

@propraven/mcp

Model Context Protocol server for PropRaven — gives Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent canonical access to 180M+ US parcels with ownership, valuation, permits, deeds, hazard, and market data.

Status: alpha. Hosted endpoint at mcp.propraven.comAugust 2026. Until then, run it locally (works today).


Local install in Claude Desktop

Requirements: Node ≥18, a PropRaven API key (pz_…) from https://propraven.com/dashboard.

One-time setup

git clone https://github.com/propraven/propraven-mcp.git
cd propraven-mcp
npm install
npm run build

Wire into Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "propraven": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/propraven-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "PROPRAVEN_API_KEY": "pz_your_real_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The 8 PropRaven tools (parcel.lookup, parcel.search, parcel.compare, owner.pierce, hazard.score, valuation.estimate, permits.history, sales.history) appear in the tool list.

Quick test

Look up parcel 37183:0012345 and tell me the owner.

Claude should pick parcel.lookup and return canonical record + owner.


Cursor + ChatGPT

Cursor: install via the MCP marketplace (search "PropRaven") once we publish, or wire manually:

// ~/.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "propraven": { "command": "node", "args": ["/abs/path/dist/index.js"], "env": { "PROPRAVEN_API_KEY": "pz_..." } }
  }
}

ChatGPT: Custom GPT → Actions → connect via OAuth (waiting on mcp.propraven.com hosted endpoint — Aug 2026).


Tools

permits.historyPermit timeline for a parcelGET /api/v1/parcels/{id}/permits

Tool descriptions are optimized for agent reasoning — they explicitly call out when not to use each tool, which is the biggest determinant of agent selection accuracy.


Environment

The server reads:

VariableDefaultPurpose
PROPRAVEN_API_KEY(required)Bearer token, format pz_...
PROPRAVEN_BASE_URLhttps://api.propraven.comAPI host. Use https://propzilla.vercel.app during the DNS cutover window.
PROPRAVEN_TIMEOUT_MS30000Per-request timeout in ms.

Develop / inspect

# Live-reloading dev (TypeScript, no build step):
PROPRAVEN_API_KEY=pz_test... npm run dev

# Or open the MCP Inspector UI:
PROPRAVEN_API_KEY=pz_test... npm run inspect

The inspector at https://modelcontextprotocol.io/legacy/tools/inspector lets you call each tool manually and see request/response payloads.


Why this exists

Every Claude / ChatGPT / Cursor workflow that touches property data needs an authoritative parcel-lookup tool. There is no canonical property-data MCP today. PropRaven aims to be it before the first-mover window closes (~12–18 months).
