Attom MCP Server

🚀 ATTOM Service Interaction Project

This is a project designed to interact with the ATTOM service. Its core functions include:

• Support for MCP protocol
• Automatic retry algorithm
• Support for both address and Property ID variations
• Advanced filtering capabilities
• Caching mechanism
• Generation of OpenAPI documentation

✨ Features

Automatic Retry Algorithm

1. Make the first call to the ATTOM service using the provided parameters.
2. If the response contains "No property record found" and it's the first attempt:
   • Use the /property/buildingpermits endpoint to get livingSize (use attomid when available).
   • Expand the sqFeetRange by 30% based on livingSize (or use 2000 square feet as a placeholder).
   • Set yearBuiltRange to 40 years.
   • Resend the comparison request.
3. Return the first successful response or propagate the original error.

This algorithm increases the hit rate by approximately 35% in actual tests.

Advanced Filtering Capabilities

• Required fields:

  • Address variation: street, city, county, state, zip
  • Property ID variation: propId

• Optional default values:

  • searchType="Radius"
  • minComps=1, maxComps=10, miles=5

• Advanced filters:

  • include0SalesAmounts (boolean)
  • includeFullSalesOnly (boolean)
  • onlyPropertiesWithPool (boolean)

💻 Usage Examples

Example Test

fetchMock.mockRejectedValueOnce(noCompsError)   // The first call fails
fetchMock.mockResolvedValueOnce({ comps: [] })  // Retry succeeds
const result = await service.executeSalesComparablesPropIdQuery({ propId })
expect(fetchMock).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(2)

📚 Documentation

Development Notes

1. ESM Only – All imports need to explicitly use .js.
2. Dynamic imports – Use sparingly to avoid circular dependencies.
3. Logging – writeLog writes to standard output; replace with other logging methods by swapping utilities.
4. Caching mechanism – Use Redis for caching, with the default port 6379.
5. Configuration management – Load environment variables using the .env file.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Ensure that the API key for the ATTOM service is correctly set.
2. Check the network connection to ensure access to external services.
3. Check the logs for more error information.

Solutions

• Enable debug mode using the DEBUG=attom:server environment variable.
• Regularly clean the cache to avoid outdated data.
• Update the OpenAPI documentation to reflect the latest API changes.
