Use ATD right inside Claude

What this does

After a quick one-time setup, you can type something like “Analyze 123 Main St, Austin TX — 2 bed, 2 bath, $2,500/mo, short term rental” in Claude, and ATD answers with the grade, buy-or-pass, the money model, and the risks — the same result as the website. You'll need a Team plan (or an @revarity.com account) to turn this on.

Set it up — 3 steps

Step 1 · Get your ATD key

Open your ATD account → “API & MCP access” and click Generate. A key starting with atd_sk_ appears — copy it right away (it's only shown once). Treat it like a password.

Step 2 · Make your personal link

Take the link below and replace atd_sk_YOUR_KEY with the key you just copied (paste it right after key=):

https://tools.analyzethedeal.com/api/mcp?key=atd_sk_YOUR_KEY

It should end up looking like …/api/mcp?key=atd_sk_ab12cd34…. Keep this whole link private — anyone who has it can spend your ATD credits. (Lost it or shared it by mistake? Just delete the key in your account and make a new one.)

Step 3 · Add it to Claude

In the Claude app on your computer, or claude.ai in your browser:

1. Click your name in the bottom-left corner, then Settings.
2. Open the Connectors tab.
3. Click Add custom connector (near the bottom of the list).
4. Name: type AnalyzeTheDeal.  URL (or “Remote MCP server URL”): paste your personal link from Step 2.
5. Click Add, then make sure the connector is turned on. Done.

Try it

Start a new chat and type: “Analyze 123 Main St, Austin TX 78701 — 2 bed, 2 bath, 950 sqft, $2,500/mo, for a short term rental.” Claude runs ATD and shows the verdict. The first time you use it in a chat, Claude may ask permission to use the tool — click Allow.

What you can ask it to do

• Analyze a deal — the grade, buy or pass, the three-scenario money model, red & green flags, and sources. Uses 1 credit (a repeat of a recent address is free).
• Go deeper — the full Deep STRfax: comps, local rules, seasonality, amenity gaps, and pricing. Uses 5 credits.
• List the strategies ATD supports, or pull up a past deal — free.

Credits come out of your normal ATD balance, same as the website. If you run low, Claude shows a top-up link — it never makes up an answer.

If something doesn't work

• Claude says “unauthorized” or the tool errors — the key is wrong, or your plan doesn't include API/MCP (it's on the Team plan). Re-copy the key with no spaces (it starts with atd_sk_), and check you're on Team.
• You don't see “Add custom connector” — update Claude to the latest version. It's under Settings → Connectors, near the bottom of the list (same place on the desktop app and on claude.ai in a browser).
• It's added but Claude never uses it — make sure the connector is toggled on, then start a new chat. The first time, Claude asks permission to use the tool — click Allow. You can also just say “use AnalyzeTheDeal to analyze…”.
• “Out of credits” — top up on your account page; every analysis draws from your normal ATD balance.
• Still stuck? — delete the key in your account, generate a fresh one, and rebuild your link. Or email support@analyzethedeal.com.

Prefer a config file? (for developers)

You can also send the key as an Authorization: Bearer header instead of putting it in the URL. The endpoint is https://tools.analyzethedeal.com/api/mcp.
