Is there a Redfin API or MCP?

By the Goliath research team · Checked November 12, 2026

No. There's no public Redfin API or official Redfin MCP server, so no sanctioned way connects Claude or ChatGPT.

The short answer

Official API: none.
Official data: the Redfin Data Center. It's a free download of market numbers (median prices, inventory, days on market) by metro, county and ZIP.
MCP servers: all unofficial.
The catch: Redfin's terms of use prohibit scraping.

Unofficial servers: NexGenData on Apify, HasData and more

Four are live as of November 2026. All connect to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor.

Server	How it gets the data	Cost
NexGenData Real Estate MCP (Apify)	Scrapes Redfin search and property pages on Apify's servers	Pay per tool call on Apify (listings show $0.01 and $0.05 per call; recheck)
HasData Redfin MCP	HasData's scraping API: for-sale, rental and sold search with filters, plus full property pages	1,000 free credits a month, then paid
chrischall/redfin-mcp	Runs through your own signed-in redfin.com browser tab	Free, open source
Marius-Juston/redfin-mcp	A fork of the one above that adds comparable rentals and address lookup	Free, open source

Bright Data

Bright Data sells a general real estate scraping server that can read Redfin along with other sites. It's usage-based and aimed at developers.

The terms-of-use risk, plainly

Scraping against a site's terms usually isn't a crime, but it can get you blocked. It can be a contract problem if you agreed to the terms, say by signing in.

Two things make it worse for a business:

The browser-tab servers sign in as you. Your own Redfin account does the scraping.
Scrapers break. When Redfin changes its pages, the server returns nothing until someone fixes it.

What investors usually need instead

Most investors searching "Redfin API" want one of three things:

On-market listings. The legal route is MLS data through a licensed provider, or Zillow's official Claude connector. See listing and MLS MCPs.
Market numbers. The Redfin Data Center download covers this for free.
Off-market deals. This is the big one.

"Find single-family homes in Shelby County with a pre-foreclosure filing in the last 30 days, get the owners' phone numbers, and add them to tomorrow's call list."

Questions

Does Redfin have an API? No public one, only the free Data Center download and, per third-party sources, feeds for select commercial partners.

Is there an official Redfin MCP server? No, every Redfin MCP server today is third-party and reads Redfin's website.

Is scraping Redfin legal? It's against Redfin's terms, and whether that's a legal problem depends on how you use it.
