Quick Start Guide

Go from zero to your first property search in under five minutes.

Step 1: Create an Account

Head to investraapp.com/signup and create a free account. You can sign up with email or Google. No credit card is required for the free tier.

Step 2: Generate an API Key

  1. Log in and navigate to Profile > Developer.
  2. Click Generate API Key.
  3. Copy the key (it starts with inv_) and store it somewhere safe — you will not be able to see it again.

Treat your API key like a password. Do not commit it to source control or share it publicly.

Step 3: Connect to Claude Code

Open your terminal and run:

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

Then, inside a Claude Code session, type:

/mcp

Select Investra from the list and enter your API key when prompted. Claude Code will store the credential securely for future sessions.

Step 4: Try Your First Query

With the MCP server connected, try a natural-language prompt:

Show me properties in Tampa, FL under $400k with at least 3 bedrooms.

Claude will call the search_properties tool behind the scenes and return a formatted list of matching listings with price, address, beds, baths, and square footage.
