Archer MCP Connector

The Archer MCP connector gives Claude, and any other program that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), access to your Archer data. Once connected, Claude can read your properties, rent rolls, financials, comparables, underwriting models and deal pipeline. It authenticates using your existing Archer sign-in.

Your data stays yours. The connector is read-only and uses your existing Archer permissions, so it can only access data your account has in Archer. It cannot create, edit or delete anything. Each client's data stays isolated: no one else's AI tool can connect to your data, and yours cannot reach anyone else's.

    https://app-api.archer.re/mcp
  4. Select Connect. Your browser opens; sign in with your Archer account and approve access.

What Claude can reach

Fifteen read-only tools, grouped into the seven steps of working a deal. None of them creates, changes or deletes anything in your Archer account.

    Each result comes with its Archer property ID, for example 4821. The steps below use that ID; you can also keep referring to the property by name.

  2. Understand the property

Troubleshooting

No Add custom connector option in Claude
Custom connectors are disabled for AI tools within your company. Ask your company's administrator to enable them.
Connected, but no tools appear
Your Archer plan is below Pro. Upgrade, then disconnect and reconnect so your AI tool loads the tools.
It worked before, but now asks you to sign in or requests fail
Disconnect the connector in your AI tool and connect again.
Claude can't find a property, deal or underwrite
It sees only what your Archer account sees, so check the record in Archer and that you signed in with the right account. Search by name, address or Archer property ID.
The rent roll or financials come back empty
There may be no data for that date. Ask which dates are on file, then ask for one of those.
A request times out
Narrow it to a smaller radius, one date or one property. If it keeps happening, email support.
A rate limit message
More than 60 requests in a minute. Wait a minute, and ask questions that span many properties in smaller steps.
Claude answers from general knowledge, not your Archer data
Turn the connector on for the conversation (in Claude Desktop, the tools menu in the message box), or start with "Using Archer, ...".

FAQ

Does Archer use my data to train AI models?
No. Archer does not use your data, or the requests your AI tool makes, to train AI models.
Does my AI provider train on my Archer data?
Data a tool returns becomes part of your conversation, so your provider's terms apply. Claude Team, Enterprise and API are not used for training by default. On Claude Free, Pro and Max, conversations may be used if the model training setting is on, and rating a response can send that conversation to Anthropic. For other AI tools, check your provider's terms.
What do you recommend for client or deal data?
A business plan, such as Claude Team or Enterprise, with model training turned off. Provider terms change; for Claude, see the Anthropic Privacy Center.
Does Archer see my Claude conversations or credentials?
No. Archer only receives the tool requests your AI tool makes, such as "rent roll for property 4821".
Can my teammates use it?
Yes. Each person connects with their own Archer account and sees only what that account can see.
Does it cost extra?
No. It is included with the Archer Pro plan.
How do I revoke access?
Disconnect the connector in your AI tool.
