Example prompts for Idealista
Click any prompt to copy it. Paste into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Gemini, Copilot or OpenClaw to run it against this connector.
Claude is AI and can make mistakes. Please double-check responses.
Self-hosted only. Idealista refuses requests from datacenter IP addresses, and AnythingMCP Cloud runs in a datacenter, so this connector is not available on AnythingMCP Cloud. It works on an AnythingMCP instance you run yourself on a computer or server with a regular home or office internet connection.
Idealista + ChatGPT
Search Idealista real estate listings (Spain, Italy, Portugal) from any AI assistant. Find apartments and houses for sale or rent, read full listing detail, look up neighborhood data. 4 tools, no auth — reverse-engineered from the Idealista mobile app.
Prerequisites
See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:
(none — public API)
Step 1 — Get credentials
This connector wraps the Idealista mobile app's internal API (app.idealista.it).
Setup: nothing. The mobile API endpoints used here do not require OAuth for read access.
Markets: Idealista operates in Italy, Spain, and Portugal. The locale path segment in URLs (/api/3.5/it/..., /api/3.5/es/..., /api/3.5/pt/...) selects the market. Pass locale as a tool parameter.
What it does NOT do: contact sellers, save searches, post listings. Use this connector to find and read listings; act on them in the Idealista app/site.

Step 2 — Install the adapter
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d
- Open
http://localhost:3000and register. The first account becomes the admin. - Open the connector store (
http://localhost:3000/connectors/store), pick Idealista, fill in the credentials it asks for (some connectors need none) and install it. - Under MCP Servers, create a server and assign the Idealista connector to it. On the server's page, copy the MCP endpoint (
http://localhost:4000/mcp/<server-id>) and generate a key under API keys.
The quickstart listens on localhost only. For an instance that other people or cloud-based AI clients can reach, clone the repository and run ./setup.sh, which sets up a domain, HTTPS and OAuth (deployment guide).
Step 3 — Add the connector in ChatGPT
ChatGPT connects to MCP servers from OpenAI's cloud, so it cannot reach the localhost endpoint of the quickstart. You need an AnythingMCP instance with a public HTTPS address (see ./setup.sh above) on a connection Idealista accepts, and you enter that instance's MCP endpoint in the steps below instead of a Cloud URL.
ChatGPT connects to MCP servers as custom apps in developer mode, available on paid plans (not on Free). On Business and Enterprise workspaces an admin may have to allow it first.
- In ChatGPT, open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode.
- Go to chatgpt.com/plugins and click +.
- Enter a name and a short description, e.g. Name:
Idealista. - Under Connection, enter the MCP server URL
https://<your-anythingmcp-domain>/mcp/<server-id>and create the connection. - When ChatGPT asks, sign in to AnythingMCP (OAuth) and allow access.
If a public instance is not an option, use a client that runs on your computer instead: Claude Code, Cursor or Gemini CLI reach localhost directly.

FAQ
Does the free ChatGPT plan work with custom MCP connectors? No. Custom MCP connections need developer mode, which is only on paid plans.
Why isn't Idealista available on AnythingMCP Cloud? Idealista refuses requests from datacenter IP addresses. AnythingMCP Cloud runs in a datacenter, so every call would fail. An AnythingMCP instance on a home or office connection usually works.
