Praesago

UK property area intelligence inside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.

Ask your AI assistant "is Walthamstow up and coming?" or "find areas in the North West under £250k with strong fundamentals" and get live, validated answers from Praesago's data — 2,292 England & Wales postcode districts scored monthly from 30+ government data sources (Land Registry, ONS, police.uk, EPC, planning registers and more).

This is a hosted (remote) MCP server — no install, no local process.

https://www.praesago.com/api/mcp

Transport: Streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC 2.0, protocol 2025-03-26).

Connect

Claude (web / desktop): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the URL above.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http praesago https://www.praesago.com/api/mcp

Cursor / other clients: add a remote server with transport http and the URL above.

Local stdio (any MCP client, or air-gapped configs): this repo ships a zero-dependency stdio proxy to the hosted endpoint:

python server.py                       # Python 3.9+, no pip install needed
# or
docker build -t praesago-mcp . && docker run -i praesago-mcp

Set PRAESAGO_API_KEY in the environment to unlock full area context.

Honesty notes

The Trajectory Score measures the strength of signals that have historically preceded property price growth. It is a screening aid, not a prediction — and the server's instructions tell your assistant exactly that. Praesago publishes its full validation record, including the windows where the model failed: praesago.com/validation.

Calibration (measured across ~36,700 backtested district-windows): districts scoring 60+ beat their county's median price growth in 63% of three-year windows; districts under 40 managed 37%.
