Using NestInsights in AI assistants

What it does

NestInsights has a free app for AI assistants at https://nestinsights.com/mcp. Once it's added, the assistant can use two of our tools while you chat:

• Check a deal. Give a price and a rent, and any other figures you know. You get the verdict, the cash needed to buy, stamp duty or Land Transaction Tax, the mortgage, cash flow, yields and the profit after tax in your own name and in a company. It says which typical costs were assumed, and gives a link that opens the same deal here so you can change any figure.
• Area figures. Give a postcode, council, town or neighbourhood. You get prices, rents, yields and growth, and for towns and neighbourhoods their sold prices, five-year change, type and the most similar neighbourhoods, with links to the area pages.

It covers England and Wales. The assistant repeats our figures rather than working them out itself, so they match the deal calculator.

Add it to Claude

NestInsights is in Claude's connector directory:

1. In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors, and browse the connectors.
2. Search for NestInsights and choose Connect. There's nothing to sign in to.

Then ask a question in a new chat. Claude asks before it uses a connector for the first time. If you added NestInsights by its address before it was listed, remove that copy first, so the two don't clash.

Add it to ChatGPT

NestInsights is waiting to be listed in ChatGPT's directory. Until then you add it by its address, which needs a paid ChatGPT plan:

1. In ChatGPT, open Plugins, choose Add, then Add custom MCP server.
2. Name it NestInsights and paste https://nestinsights.com/mcp.
3. Choose no authentication.

ChatGPT moves its settings around from time to time, so if a name here doesn't match, look for plugins, apps or connectors in its settings.

Other assistants

The app uses MCP (Model Context Protocol), the standard more and more assistants use to add tools. If yours lets you add an app, connector or MCP server by its address, use https://nestinsights.com/mcp with no sign-in. If it can't, ask it for a NestInsights deal link instead: it can build one from your figures that opens the full check here, as our notes for AI assistants explain.

What to ask

• “A flat for £180,000 would rent for £1,100 a month, and I earn £50,000. Does it pay after tax, and would a company be better?”
• “What are prices, rents and yields like in Leeds, and how has Headingley changed over five years?”
• “How much cash do I need to buy a £200,000 house in CF24 4HQ through a company?”

Give a full postcode with a deal and the answer adds the neighbourhood's type, its five-year change and similar neighbourhoods. Open the link in the answer to see the whole check, change figures and save it.

Your data

You don't need an account. The assistant sends us only the figures or the place it needs, we send back the answer, and we don't keep the figures. We keep only a count of calls each day. What you type into the assistant is covered by that company's own privacy policy. More in our privacy notice.

The answers are figures and explanations, not financial, tax or mortgage advice.
