Available tools 4

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

guides
list_guides
List the published Homechecker guide catalogue, optionally filtered by jurisdiction, guide cluster, property type, construction era, or buying stage. Returns metadata only.
search_guides
Search professionally authored Australian homebuyer guidance using a natural-language question. Use this for general property, inspection, disclosure, apartment, condition, maintenance, era and buying-process questions. It does not assess an actual property.
build
build_buyer_checklist
Build a deterministic, sourced checklist from the Homechecker guide corpus for a buyer context. This assembles general questions and checks; it does not analyse a listing, document or actual building.
guide
get_guide
Retrieve one canonical Homechecker guide by slug. Use a slug returned by list_guides or search_guides. Returns source links, review metadata, method and limitations with the guide.

Homechecker Guides — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Homechecker Guides do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: build_buyer_checklist, get_guide, list_guides, search_guides. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Homechecker Guides working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 41 of 91 checks got a reply (45.1%), average response time 332 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Homechecker Guides as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Homechecker Guides?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Homechecker Guides need an API key?
No. Homechecker Guides completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Homechecker Guides?
It answers our handshake in 332 ms on average, which is faster than 42% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Homechecker Guides open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
