## What it does

The server acts as an investigation assistant for NYC real estate due diligence. Instead of manually searching municipal portals, the model pulls records on building codes, tax assessments, zoning limits, and marshal-executed evictions since 2017. Tools expose deed transfers through ACRIS back to 2003, FDNY emergency dispatches since 2013, and 311 tenant logs.

It does not estimate property value. The server strictly surfaces factual records from public registries without calculating valuations. Running your own instance demands Python 3.12+, PostgreSQL 16+, `uv`, and the `nycdb` package. Alternatively, you can connect directly to the hosted HTTP endpoint.

## Requirements
- Needs: Python and uv (commands run via uvx)
- Remote server: `https://nyc-property-intel-production.up.railway.app/mcp`
