# pipeworx `attom` — Attom

## Coverage
Premium real estate data from ATTOM Data Solutions.

Catalog `tool_count`: 8. Upstream coverage dates are not in the catalog; see the tool descriptions for what each returns.

## Access
MCP endpoint `https://gateway.pipeworx.io/attom/mcp` — JSON-RPC `tools/list` and `tools/call` over POST, SSE-framed response (`event: message`, one `data:` line; the answer is in `result.structuredContent`). `tools/list` on 2026-10-01 returned 44 tools: these 8 plus the 36 platform tools every pack endpoint lists.

Tools (names and first sentence of each description as served on 2026-10-01):

- `attom_property_detail` — "Property details for [address]" / "specs of [house]" / "how many bedrooms / bathrooms" / "year built" / "square footage" / "lot size" — full property characteristics for a US residential or commercial address. Required: `address1`, `address2`, `_apiKey`.
- `attom_property_search` — "Find houses / homes / properties / real estate for sale or owned in [ZIP]" / "search properties near [coords]" / "homes in [neighborhood]" — search US residential and commercial properties by ZIP or lat/lng radius with… Required: `_apiKey`.
- `attom_sales_history` — "When was [house] last sold" / "sale history of [property]" / "previous owners of [address]" / "what did [house] sell for last time" — complete sales/transaction history for a US property by address. Required: `address1`, `address2`, `_apiKey`.
- `attom_avm` — "What's [house] worth" / "home value of [address]" / "Zestimate alternative" / "estimated value of [property]" / "how much is [home] valued at" — automated valuation model (AVM) for any US residential property. Required: `address1`, `address2`, `_apiKey`.
- `attom_assessment` — "Property tax / taxes on [address]" / "assessed value of [house]" / "tax bill for [property]" / "what does the county say [home] is worth" — county tax-assessor record for a US property. Required: `address1`, `address2`, `_apiKey`.
- `attom_sales_trend` — "Housing market trends in [ZIP]" / "median home price in [area]" / "is [ZIP] heating up or cooling" / "sales volume in [neighborhood]" — aggregated real estate market trends by ZIP. Required: `geoid`, `interval`, `startYear`, `endYear`, `_apiKey`.
- `attom_rental_avm` — "How much can I rent [house] for" / "estimated rent for [address]" / "rental income on [property]" / "rental yield of [home]" — rental AVM for a US residential property. Required: `address1`, `address2`, `_apiKey`.
- `attom_school_search` — "Schools near [address]" / "what school district is [house] in" / "best schools in [area]" / "public schools around [coords]" — find K-12 schools near a US location by lat/lng radius. Required: `latitude`, `longitude`, `_apiKey`.

Client setup: `claude mcp add pipeworx-attom -- npx -y mcp-remote https://gateway.pipeworx.io/attom/mcp`.

## Auth
Catalog `auth.shape`: `caller-key-required`. Verbatim detail: "Pass your own attom API key as the `_apiKey` argument — Pipeworx does not supply one for this pack, and the upstream refuses calls without it." The upstream key is yours to supply as `_apiKey`; the gateway itself accepted anonymous calls on other packs, but this pack was not called, so whether it answers without one was not observed.

## Rate limits
Gateway anonymous tier: 50 calls per day per IP, reset 00:00 UTC, printed in `x-ratelimit-*` headers (observed 2026-10-01 on the fred and weather packs; this pack was listed, not called). Upstream limits are not stated in the catalog.

## Freshness
Not stated in the catalog. Reliability: measured 100% over 14 synthetic checks in 7d (last checked 2026-09-28).

## Known gaps
- Cost per call as quoted: 50 credits ($0.0050), category `gov`, basis `list`.
- No catalog notes on cost or licence.
- This record is the catalog's description plus one `tools/list`; it is not a test of the upstream data. Reuse it to find the tool, then observe the upstream yourself.
