How to connect

Add NestCash Intel to Claude

The quickest way is the NestCash Intel listing in Claude’s Connectors Directory. To add it manually instead, follow the four steps below: about three minutes, no downloads and no code.

Connector URL
https://mcp.nestcashintel.co/mcp

NestCash Intel is listed in Claude’s Connectors Directory. Open the listing to add it from there without copying anything. The steps below add it manually as a custom connector instead, and both routes give you the same connector. Custom connectors are available on Claude’s Free, Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans. Free accounts can add one custom connector.

1Step 1

Open Claude’s connector settings

  1. Go to claude.ai in a desktop browser and sign in.
  2. Open Customize, then Connectors. You can also go straight to claude.ai/customize/connectors.
  3. Click + Add, then Add custom connector.

On a Team or Enterprise plan, an owner adds custom connectors for the organization under Organization settings, then Connectors. Once that is done, you find NestCash Intel under Customize, then Connectors, and click Connect.

2Step 2

Add the NestCash Intel server

  1. For the name, enter NestCash Intel.
  2. For the remote MCP server URL, paste the connector URL:
    https://mcp.nestcashintel.co/mcp
  3. Click Continue. Claude shows the sign-in settings it detected for the server. Keep them as they are and click Continue again.
  4. Click Add.

If Claude asks how to connect, choose a sign-in option, not “No sign in”. NestCash Intel needs you to sign in.

3Step 3

Sign in with your email

  1. A NestCash Intel sign-in page opens. If it does not, click Connect next to NestCash Intel in your connector list.
  2. Enter your email address.
  3. We email you a six-digit code. Type it in within 10 minutes.
  4. Approve access. You return to Claude, and NestCash Intel shows as connected.

There is no password to create. Sign-in is handled by our authentication provider, WorkOS, so the code email comes from them. Signing in does not subscribe you to marketing email.

4Step 4

Switch it on and ask

  1. Start a new chat in Claude.
  2. Click the + button at the lower left of the message box, then Connectors, and make sure NestCash Intel is switched on.
  3. Ask a housing research question in plain English. The prompts below are a good start.

The first time Claude uses NestCash Intel, it may ask for your permission. NestCash Intel’s tools are read-only: they look up data and return it.

The pictures show the general flow. Claude’s own screens may look a little different, and Anthropic changes them from time to time. Their guide to custom connectors has the current steps.

Try one of these.

Each of these uses data NestCash Intel carries today. Copy one into Claude, then keep going with follow-up questions.

Market discovery

“Find the 10 counties in North Carolina where population and incomes are growing, but housing remains relatively affordable.”

County comparison

“Compare Maricopa County, AZ, Clark County, NV, and Wake County, NC on five-year population growth, home-price change, per capita income growth, and real GDP growth.”

Housing and jobs fundamentals

“For Duplin, Harnett, and Wake counties in North Carolina, show the unemployment rate, labor force growth, other-vacant homes, and the share of renters paying 30% or more of income on rent.”

NestCash Intel works at the county level. It describes places, not individual properties or owners, and it reports what has happened, not forecasts. Each account can make up to 30 lookups a minute and 500 a day. A typical question uses a few.

Troubleshooting

Most problems are fixed by starting the sign-in again. If you are still stuck, contact us.

I didn’t get the six-digit code
  • Check your spam or junk folder. The email comes from our sign-in provider, not from a nestcash.co address.
  • Check that you typed your email address correctly.
  • Codes expire after 10 minutes. If yours has expired, start the sign-in again to get a new one.
  • Use the newest code if you asked for more than one.
Authorization failed, or the sign-in window closed
  • Go to Customize, then Connectors, find NestCash Intel, and click Connect to start again.
  • Allow pop-ups for claude.ai, or try a different browser.
  • Check that the connector URL is exactly https://mcp.nestcashintel.co/mcp, with nothing before or after it. To change a custom connector’s URL, remove it and add it again.
Claude says my access is not active, or that sign-ups are paused

Sign in with the same email address each time, since your account is tied to it. If the message says new sign-ups are paused, try again the next day. If it keeps happening, email team@nestcash.co from that address and tell us what the message said.

Claude isn’t using NestCash Intel
  • In your chat, click the + button at the lower left of the message box, then Connectors, and check that NestCash Intel is switched on.
  • Ask for it by name, for example “Use NestCash Intel to compare these counties.”
  • If Claude asks for permission to use it, allow it.
What can the connector do with my Claude account?

NestCash Intel has seven tools, and all of them are read-only. They look up county statistics and return them. They cannot change anything in your Claude account, and NestCash Intel does not ask for your conversation history, memory, or files. You can switch it off for any chat from the + menu.

I hit a usage limit

Each account can make up to 30 lookups a minute and 500 a day. Wait a minute and try again. For the daily limit, try again the next day.

How do I reconnect, or remove NestCash Intel?
  • Reconnect: go to Customize, then Connectors, find NestCash Intel, and click Connect. You will be asked for a new code.
  • Remove: in the same place, use Remove or the three dots next to NestCash Intel.

Removing the connector does not delete your NestCash Intel account. To have it deleted, see our Privacy Policy.

I use Claude on a Team or Enterprise plan

An owner has to add the connector for your organization first, under Organization settings, then Connectors. After that, each person connects with their own email under Customize, then Connectors.
