What it does
The Appfolio MCP server provides a Model Context Protocol bridge to the Appfolio Property Manager Reporting API. It enables Claude to directly query and interact with property management data from Appfolio—including property details, tenant information, accounts, and reporting data—through a standardized set of tools, eliminating the need for manual API calls and integration code.
Who it's for
Property managers, real estate portfolio operators, accounting departments, and financial analysts running Appfolio who need Claude to programmatically access, query, and analyze property management data as part of larger workflows or analytical processes.
Common use cases
- Query current property, tenant, and account information from Appfolio
- Generate portfolio performance analyses from management data
- Automate report compilation and data synthesis
- Extract financial metrics and lease information for analysis
- Build Claude-driven insights from property management data
