## About

GetMovely covers about 25 million homes in England and Wales using HM Land Registry price paid data and Energy Performance Certificate records. You can search addresses, read sale history, check freehold or leasehold, view energy performance, compare homes and postcode districts, check a price against local medians, and read plain-English buying and selling guides.

It runs as a hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint at https://getmovely.co.uk/mcp. All tools are read-only. No sign-in or API key is needed. Sending a letter to an owner happens on the GetMovely website, not through this server. The server states some per-hour limits on address reports.

## What it can do

- Search homes by street, postcode or town
- View full sale history since 1995 for one home
- Check freehold or leasehold tenure
- Read energy certificates and suggested improvements
- Check a price against district and street medians
- Compare two to four homes or up to six postcode districts
- Find an address from a listing's past sale prices
- Search and read guides on buying and selling

## Install

### Claude Code

1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http getmovely https://getmovely.co.uk/mcp
```

2. Start Claude Code and type `/mcp`. **getmovely** should show as connected.

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one.

### Claude Desktop

1. Open **Customize → Connectors**, click **+ Add**, then **Add custom connector**.

2. Name it **GetMovely** and paste this URL:

```url
https://getmovely.co.uk/mcp
```

3. Click **Add**. Its tools appear in the chat’s tools menu.

Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

### claude.ai

1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

[Add to claude.ai](<https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=GetMovely&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fgetmovely.co.uk%2Fmcp>) (opens connector settings)

2. Check that the URL reads `https://getmovely.co.uk/mcp` and click **Add**.

3. Turn it on in a chat from the tools menu.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**.

### ChatGPT

1. On chatgpt.com, go to **Plugins**, select **+**, then **Add custom MCP server**.

2. Enter a name for the server.

3. Under **Connection**, paste `https://getmovely.co.uk/mcp` as the server URL, then for authentication choose **No authentication**.

4. Check **I understand and want to continue**, then select **Create as a plugin**.

Whether you can add a custom MCP server depends on your ChatGPT plan and your workspace permissions (in Business workspaces, admins and owners can).

### Cursor

[Add to Cursor](<https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=getmovely&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2dldG1vdmVseS5jby51ay9tY3AifQ%3D%3D>) (opens Cursor)

Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project):

`mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "getmovely": {
      "url": "https://getmovely.co.uk/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### VS Code

[Install in VS Code](<https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=getmovely&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fgetmovely.co.uk%2Fmcp%22%7D>) (opens VS Code)

Or from a terminal:

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"getmovely","type":"http","url":"https://getmovely.co.uk/mcp"}'
```

Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`:

`.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "getmovely": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://getmovely.co.uk/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### Devin Desktop

1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows):

`mcp_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "getmovely": {
      "serverUrl": "https://getmovely.co.uk/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers.

### Codex

```bash
codex mcp add getmovely --url https://getmovely.co.uk/mcp
```

Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly:

`config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.getmovely]
url = "https://getmovely.co.uk/mcp"
```

### Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http getmovely https://getmovely.co.uk/mcp
```

This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere.

### Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "getmovely": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://getmovely.co.uk/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://getmovely.co.uk/mcp`.
