What it does
Housing Sentinel is an MCP server that surfaces official real estate transaction data and market signals (defense/observation/attack phases) for 12 major Chinese cities. It tracks inventory turnover cycles and market conditions to help buyers and investors identify favorable trading windows.
- Query current market phase and inventory turnover metrics for specific Chinese cities to assess whether market conditions favor buying or waiting.
- Monitor trends across multiple cities over time to compare which markets are approaching favorable conditions for entry.
- Integrate daily market signal checks into automated workflows to alert when cities transition between market phases.

Before you enable it
An MCP server runs with whatever access you give it. Start with a development account rather than production, and check which tools the server exposes before you let an agent call them unattended.
