Getting started¶
Shared hosted stack¶
Your operator runs one RealtyPad deployment. You can:
- Create a personal workspace when public signup is enabled (
/register). - Join a team with an invite link from your broker or admin.
- Use operator-provisioned email + password when signup is off.
Data in a workspace is not visible to other workspaces (tenants).
Sign up and billing¶
- Open the web URL and choose Create a personal workspace (
/register). - Start Basic checkout. Your first workspace includes a 30-day free trial (card required; you are not charged until the trial ends).
- After Stripe confirms, RealtyPad opens Getting started (
/getting-started).
Founders VIP and invite joins skip personal checkout when the workspace is already billed. Extra workspaces you create later are not trial-eligible — see Team workspaces.
Agent-first setup wizard¶
After billing, open Getting started (/getting-started) — a short wizard:
- Connect RealtyPad MCP — copy the MCP URL / config into your agent (Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, and others), authorize, confirm with a short deal list. Apify is included on this connection (
apify_*tools) — no separate Apify account. - Optional enrichers — Firecrawl, MLS MCP, or another BYO connector only if you need more than included Apify.
- Starter prompts — short copy-paste prompts for ingest → trends → investors → triage → UW.
Finish or Skip wizard stops the login auto-redirect; you can reopen the wizard anytime from the account menu or empty Deals.
1. Connect RealtyPad MCP¶
- On the first wizard step (or Account → Agent & API), copy the MCP URL / config.
- Add a RealtyPad MCP server in your agent’s MCP settings (Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, etc.).
- Authorize in the browser when prompted (
/oauth/consent). - Ask the agent to list a few deals to confirm tenant scope.
Prefer browser OAuth. Long-lived agent JWTs are a fallback for headless clients — see Connect Cursor for Cursor-specific notes; the same MCP URL works for other agents.
2. Optional enrichers¶
Apify is included with RealtyPad MCP — no personal Apify account. Agents call apify_search-actors, apify_call-actor, and related apify_* tools for public-portal sweeps (HUD, Auction, Zillow, and other Store Actors). Cap spend with maxTotalChargeUsd.
Add another MCP only if you need more than that:
| Connector | Typical use | Setup |
|---|---|---|
| Firecrawl | Single-URL enrich, search pages, listing copy | Firecrawl MCP server |
| MLS | Board inventory when you have approved access | No single universal MLS MCP — use your board/vendor’s MCP or API (overview) |
| Other | Any listing/scrape MCP you already run | Your agent’s MCP docs; MCP clients |
See Listing data and MLS overview. Manual Add lead in the web UI still works if you skip enrichers for a moment.
3. Paste starter prompts¶
The last wizard step includes short copyable prompts (edit bracketed placeholders like [market] / [deal]):
- Smoke-test MCP
- Ingest first leads
- Review financing defaults (cash + traditional credit-band profiles are seeded)
- Refresh market trends (agents use
refresh_catalog_trends— not LLM CSV upsert — see Listing data) - Add investors (buyer book — attach a preferred financing profile when you know their rate band; needed for investor-fit on underwrite)
- Scan / triage the queue
- Research and underwrite a deal
You can reopen Getting started anytime from the account menu (or the empty Deals CTA).
First login (existing account)¶
- Sign in.
- If billing is incomplete, finish Checkout.
- If you have not connected an agent yet (and have not skipped Getting started), you land on
/getting-started. - Otherwise you land on Deals.
Multiple workspaces¶
Use the account menu → Switch workspace to move between personal and team workspaces.
See Team workspaces for invites, roles, and MCP scope.
