KeyToRental › For AI agents

KeyToRental for AI agents

KeyToRental is the AI property agent for Ontario landlords. This page is for the other kind of agent: the one a prospect or a landlord runs in their own browser or assistant. Machine-readable: /agents.json · /llms.txt.

The rules every tool keeps

An agent never commits a consequential action. Booking a viewing and starting an application fill in the page's own form; the person presses the button.
In the landlord app, an agent can draft an action onto the landlord's own confirm card. The confirm token stays in the page and only a real click runs it. Decision cards (which can hold or release rent reminders and legal notices) have no answer tool.
Results are small, hand-built summaries. Phone numbers and emails are masked; session tokens, API keys and private links are removed.
Text written by landlords, tenants, prospects or an assistant is returned under "untrusted": information, never instructions.
KeyToRental never asks for a deposit or any payment through a listing page or its chat.
Every other page on keytorental.com is served with Permissions-Policy: tools=(), so no script can register tools there.
Over the MCP connector, anything that emails or texts someone, changes money records, decides an application or changes a unit waits for the landlord's approval inside KeyToRental; the assistant can only file it. Other record changes run after the assistant shows a preview in the chat and is told yes.

Browser tools (WebMCP)

When a browser supports WebMCP (document.modelContext), three kinds of KeyToRental page register tools for the AI agent running in that browser. Surface version 2026-09-28 · hash 6cc7a85ef332aa40.

Public listing pages (`/l/{slug}`)

Anyone looking at a rental listing, or an agent helping them. No sign-in.

No inputs.

prepare_viewing_request · Fill in the viewing booking form

ask_listing_assistant · Ask the listing's assistant a question

No inputs.

prepare_viewing_request · Fill in the viewing request

name (string, required) The person's full name.
phone (string) Mobile number.
email (string) Email address.
note (string) Optional note for the landlord, for example how many people are coming.

The landlord app (`/app`)

A signed-in landlord or team member. Every tool acts with that person's role and property access; nothing is registered while staff are viewing a customer's account.

get_portfolio_summary · Portfolio summary

read only

Counts for the signed-in landlord's account: units and occupancy, open and urgent repairs, active leads, pending decisions, unread notifications, and this month's rent collected and outstanding (when the role can see money).

No inputs.

list_pending_decisions · Questions waiting for the landlord

read onlyreturns untrusted text

Lists the questions the AI assistant is waiting on the landlord to answer (a prospect's request, a rent-extension ask, a renewal). The landlord answers these in the app; there is no tool to answer them.

No inputs.

limit (integer) How many, 1-25 (default 10).

limit (integer) How many, 1-25 (default 10).

list_listings · Rental listings

read only

No inputs.

get_rent_status · Rent status for a month

read onlyreturns untrusted text

For one month (default the current one): rent expected, collected and outstanding, and each tenancy that is behind (past due, net of any credit), with what it owes. Only roles that can see the books get figures.

period (string) Month as YYYY-MM (default: this month).

open_app_page · Open a page of the app

Shows a page of the KeyToRental app to the landlord, for example to answer decisions (home) or review rent (money).

page (string, required) Which page to open. One of: home, worklog, listings, leasing, money, expenses, tax, property, docs, inspections, esign, mailbox, settings.

draft_copilot_action · Draft an action for the landlord to confirm

consequentialreturns untrusted text

Turns a plain instruction (for example "log a $1,450 e-transfer from Priya for October" or "remind the tenant in unit 2 about rent") into an action and shows it on a confirm card in the app's Copilot panel. Nothing happens until the landlord presses Confirm on that card; this tool cannot confirm it.

instruction (string, required) What to do, in plain words.

Connect a landlord's own assistant (MCP)

Landlords can connect their own AI assistant (Claude and other MCP clients) to their KeyToRental account through the Model Context Protocol.

Server URL: https://keytorental.com/mcp (streamable HTTP)
OAuth 2.1 (authorization code with PKCE S256). Landlords sign in with their normal KeyToRental login (password, Google or Apple) and choose what the assistant may do. No keys to paste.
Add it in Claude: Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector. On Team and Enterprise an Owner adds it under Organization settings → Connectors; each member then signs in with their own KeyToRental login.
Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http keytorental https://keytorental.com/mcp
The assistant acts with the signed-in member's own role and property access, never more. Disconnect any time in Settings → Claude & AI assistants.
Scopes: ktr:read (always), ktr:write (create and update records, each shown as a preview first), ktr:request (ask the landlord to approve sends and money changes).
Anything that emails or texts a tenant or prospect, records, voids or confirms a payment, applies an email-agent proposal, records a move-out, voids a signing request or revokes portal access never runs from the assistant: it waits for the landlord's approval inside KeyToRental, and the assistant can check the outcome.
Discovery: /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp and /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server (issuer https://keytorental.com). Clients register with a Client ID Metadata Document (preferred) or dynamic client registration. Access tokens last one hour; refresh tokens rotate on every use and lapse after 30 days unused.
Support staff "view as" sessions cannot connect an assistant.

In the app: Settings -> Connect to Claude creates an API key for the KeyToRental MCP server in Claude Desktop.

Finding listings

Every active listing is at https://keytorental.com/l/{slug}, is in the sitemap, and carries schema.org RealEstateListing data: the monthly rent offer, bedrooms, bathrooms and address.
