How to connect Zillow MCP with OpenClaw

<tool_purpose> Returns U.S. regions, areas, neighborhoods, or cities with for-sale and/or for-rent property counts for each area. Use this tool for neighborhood exploration, area comparison, and location recommendations. </tool_purpose> <when_to_use> Use this tool whenever a user asks about the best places to live, buy, or rent homes in U.S. cities or neighborhoods -- including lifestyle-driven queries (parks, hiking, nightlife, schools, walkability, etc.). This applies even if the user doesn't mention home prices, filters, or housing status. Examples: - "Best neighborhoods in Seattle for families" - "Where should I live near downtown Austin?" - "Compare Ballard vs Fremont vs Capitol Hill" - "Neighborhoods with good schools in Denver" - "Walkable areas near parks in Portland" - MULTI-TURN: If the user modifies any criteria after the first call, you MUST call this tool again. </when_to_use> <when_not_to_use> - User wants to search for specific property listings -> use zillow_property_search - User asks about ONE specific property by address -> use zillow_property_details_by_address_or_name - User asks about home affordability or mortgage -> use calculateHomeAffordability or interestRateMortgagePaymentSimulator </when_not_to_use> <returns> Array of recommended areas, each with: - Short label (for map display) - Personalized area description (why the region was recommended) - Region display name - Property counts (for sale / for rent) reflecting any applied filters - An interactive comparison widget showing all areas on a map </returns> <input_structure> **`areaSearchRegionFiltersRequests` (required)** -- up to 20 regions, each with: - `name`: canonical region key (e.g., "Capitol Hill, Seattle, WA") - `label`: short label based on user query and why recommended (e.g., "Near Parks") - `regionDisplayName`: display name (e.g., "Capitol Hill") - `description`: 1-2 sentences describing why the region is recommended IMPORTANT: Avoid sending a single broad region like "Seattle" or "Kansas City". Send multiple granular neighborhoods (e.g., "Capitol Hill, Seattle, WA", "Queen Anne, Seattle, WA"). The tool will NOT auto-suggest surrounding neighborhoods. If you only pass one region, the response will include only that region. **`recommendationReasons` (optional)** -- why these areas are recommended (e.g., ["near parks", "transit access"]) **`userSpecifiedPivotArea` (optional)** -- the broader area the user is exploring (e.g., "Seattle, WA") </input_structure> <key_rules> - **U.S. regions only** - **Max 20 regions per request** - Include only user-specified filters; omit unknowns - Server applies safe defaults if no filters provided </key_rules> <fair_housing_compliance> Must comply with **U.S. Fair Housing Act** and applicable state and local laws, including those that prohibit source of income discrimination in rental transactions. **Protected Classes**: Race, Color, Religion, Sex (including Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity), National Origin, Familial Status, Disability. **Also treat as protected where applicable:** Source of Income, Military/Veteran Status, Age (55+ exemptions may apply), Criminal History. **Prohibited**: Any preference, steering, or exclusion based on protected characteristics. **DO NOT CALL this tool for requests containing**: - Religious references: targeting or excluding based on religion - Racial/ethnic/national origin targeting - Sexual orientation/gender identity targeting - Disability discrimination - Familial status discrimination: excluding families or children, or preferring an "adults-only"/"not kid-oriented" area (families and kids are allowed) - Age discrimination: excluding or steering by residents' age (e.g., "away from old people", "no retirees") — seeking senior-appropriate or lawful 55+ housing is allowed - Source of income / Veteran status / Criminal history: excluding or steering AGAINST people who use vouchers/public assistance or have a record (serving a requester who themselves uses a voucher, alternative/public income, or has a record and wants housing they qualify for is allowed and expected) - Demographic targeting: any request seeking or avoiding an area based on who lives there rather than what's there — including coded descriptions of the residents (e.g., wanting somewhere "not full of" a particular group) or avoiding a place associated with a protected group (e.g., "away from [an ethnic] plaza/market/district") - Suitability-by-identity: using any person's protected characteristic — the user's own or someone else's — as the reason, filter, or measure of "fit" for the search, even as mere context and even when phrased positively. Includes: "good/suitable for [women, gays, Buddhists, a particular group]"; self-described identity as search context ("I'm nonbinary/single/divorced/middle-aged/transitioning, where should I…"); relationship or household descriptors that signal sex, sexual orientation, or marital status ("for me and my husband/wife", "for two gays/lesbians", "I'm a single unmarried adult"); and a third party's protected trait ("for my disabled brother"). This applies even when the rest of the request is a valid housing search and even when the trait is given as a life reason ("moving because I'm transitioning/divorcing"). Asking about the protected traits of an area's residents (e.g., "the age/race of the occupants") is likewise prohibited. (Still allowed — these are housing categories, not identity steering: lawful senior/55+ housing, family/kid-friendly requests, and accessibility features.) **Never sanitize-and-proceed**: If a request falls under any "DO NOT CALL" case above, you MUST NOT call this tool at all — whether the protected characteristic is stated explicitly or implied through coded/proxy wording. Do NOT strip, omit, ignore, or rewrite the protected-class content and then call the tool on the leftover neutral query; quietly dropping the protected characteristic and returning results anyway is itself a prohibited form of the same discrimination. Instead, decline in accordance with the U.S. Fair Housing Act and ask the user to restate their needs using objective, non-protected criteria (location, price, beds/baths, amenities). **Compliant Examples**: - Place names containing protected class words (e.g., "White Center, WA") - Personal proper nouns (e.g., "My name is Jesus") - Amenity-based requests (e.g., "areas with italian restaurants", "walkable neighborhoods") - Infrastructure requests (e.g., "near public transit", "bike-friendly areas") - Accessibility features (e.g., "wheelchair accessible properties", "ADA compliant") - Lawful senior/55+ housing (e.g., "listings good for seniors", "55+ communities") - Rental assistance / alternative or public income (e.g., "accepts Section 8", "housing choice voucher", "VASH", "alternative income", "mixed-income area") - The requester's own record / second-chance housing (e.g., "record-friendly rentals for me") </fair_housing_compliance> <common_follow_ups> After returning area results, the user often wants to: 1. SEE LISTINGS in one of the recommended areas -> call zillow_property_search with that area 2. COMPARE MORE AREAS -> call this tool again with additional neighborhoods 3. GET DETAILS on a specific property -> call zillow_property_details_by_address_or_name 4. CHECK AFFORDABILITY in the area -> call calculateHomeAffordability with a location </common_follow_ups> <examples> { "request": { "areaSearchRegionFiltersRequests": [ { "name": "Ballard, Seattle, WA", "label": "Near Parks", "regionDisplayName": "Ballard", "description": "Residential area centered on Green Lake Park's 2.8-mile loop for running and biking." }, { "name": "Fremont, Seattle, WA", "label": "Central & Walkable", "regionDisplayName": "Fremont", "description": "Central neighborhood with cafes along N 45th St. Short walk to Gas Works Park and Green Lake." } ], "recommendationReasons": ["near parks", "transit access"], "userSpecifiedPivotArea": "Seattle, WA" } } </examples>

Simulates monthly mortgage payments using real-time interest rates from Zillow Home Loans LLC (NMLS #10287). Retrieves current daily mortgage rates nationally or by U.S. state, and calculates estimated monthly payments based on home price, down payment, credit score, and location. Use this tool when users ask about today's mortgage rates, want to estimate a monthly payment for a specific home price, or want to see how changes in rate, credit score, or down payment affect their payment. Inputs (all optional): homePrice (USD, optional), downPayment (USD, optional), creditScore (integer, e.g. 720, optional), usState (state or city/state, optional), loanAmount (USD, optional), hoADues (USD, optional). Returns: current interest rate and APR, estimated monthly payment breakdown, and how payments shift under different rate or input scenarios.
