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 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 96 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 in the form 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.

Is Homechecker Guides open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 0 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp.homechecker.com.au, which runs on its operator's own terms.
