Live Custom connector No token on free tier

Connect LandlordIQ to Muse

LandlordIQ is read-only rental intelligence for agents: statistical median rent, vacancy, growth, cap-rate bands, renewal reads, and editorial landlord-tenant summaries. It is not MLS asking rent, not an appraisal, and not a listing feed.

Add the custom connector

Muse is Meta’s personal agent. It has no MCP support. It reads an OpenAPI spec plus docs and writes its own custom connector. Send the message below once. The free tier needs no token.

  1. Open Muse (app or WhatsApp) and paste the connector prompt.
  2. If Muse asks for credentials, say the free tier has none. Do not invent a Bearer token.
  3. If you later provision a paid key, give it only when Muse asks. send it as X-API-Key, not Authorization: Bearer.

Do not paste a paid key into the first chat message. Send the connector prompt first; hand over X-API-Key only if Muse asks and you have one.

Authentication

  • Free tier: 60 requests / hour / IP. No key. No OAuth. No Bearer token.
  • Paid tier (optional): 10,000 requests / day per X-API-Key header. Email api@rentalanalytics.com to provision a key. API pricing lists Starter at 10,000 requests per month and Pro at 10,000 requests per day.

The live MCP server at https://rentalanalytics.com/mcp does not require a key and does not send rate-limit headers today. The draft described X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Reset, and X-RateLimit-Tier. api.rentalanalytics.com is not live.

Example Muse asks

After the connector is saved, ask in plain language. Muse should call LandlordIQ rather than guess from the public web.

Confidence and disclaimer rules

Every tool returns a confidence_score from 0-100 and a data_freshness timestamp. Treat those as first-class inputs. Do not present a low-confidence figure as a fact.

72-92 · High

Direct ZIP in the HUD sample with a 50th-percentile scaler, or a curated dataset match. Statistical median. still confirm against live comps before a binding price.

50-71 · Moderate

Estimated blend (vacancy, growth, cap-rate bands). Directionally useful; widen the margin of safety and label outputs as estimates.

1-49 · Low

National fallback or extrapolation. Do not treat as fact. present a range and flag it for a human check.

  • Rule: if confidence_score < 50, do not present a single number as fact. Give a range and say it is extrapolated.
  • Not MLS: the rent hero is HUD FY2027 50th-percentile (not FMR) scaled onto ZIP FMR/SAFMR. HUD FMR is the 40th / voucher figure. Do not call FMR “market rent.”
  • Regulations: get_regulations is an editorial digest for covered cities. Estimates for planning; not tax/legal advice.
  • Never invent: if the envelope has an error or fallback: true, report it. Do not fabricate a rent, vacancy, or statute.

Discovery files

Point Muse at the OpenAPI file and the docs on this site. The host api.rentalanalytics.com is not live. The running server is https://rentalanalytics.com/mcp.

The seven GET tools in the OpenAPI draft are not deployed. The running server is the MCP endpoint. The draft envelope was data, confidence_score, data_freshness, data_source, error.

Troubleshooting

  • Muse tries MCP. Muse has no MCP support. Point it at the OpenAPI URL on this page, not at /mcp/ as a server endpoint. /mcp/ is the human/agent guide.
  • Muse tries OAuth or a Bearer token. Tell it the free tier needs neither. Paid keys use the X-API-Key header only.
  • 429 rate limit. The live MCP server does not enforce a limit today. The draft free tier is 60 requests / hour / IP.
  • Low confidence / fallback. Out-of-sample ZIPs return a national extrapolation with data.fallback = true. Present a range, not a point.
