We Put Jitty in an MCP Server. You Can Talk to It Now.

So. We’ve just shipped a little thing that might be a glimpse of the future, or just a fun toy.

Possibly both.

Introducing: the experimental Jitty MCP server.

What’s MCP, you ask? Model Context Protocol: a way to let LLMs talk to other bots, tools, and systems. You’ve been able to do this sort of thing for ages, but it’s always been vendor-specific and very much a developer-only affair.

And to be clear, it’s still basically a dev-only playground, but we (and most of LinkedIn, apparently) think that’s about to change. The big chat providers have been threading MCP into their products: Claude added support for local servers, OpenAI tucked it into Deep Research. I don’t think it’ll be long before we see a major provider launch an MCP app store.

They’ll have to come up with a better name than “MCP app store”, though.

Anyway, Jitty now speaks MCP. Which means: you can search for homes inside a chat.

Open the ChatGPT playground (or whatever shiny new MCP client you’re using), load up the MCP plugin interface, pop in the URL of the Jitty server, and we’ll be ready to help you browse homes like you’re DMing a very house-obsessed friend.

You can ask things like:

“Find me a 2-bed in Bristol with a nice kitchen and terrifying carpets.”

And it’ll go dig through our lovingly curated property database to find something real.

But can’t LLMs just search Google?

Sort of. But not really.

Yes, LLMs have seen a lot of the internet. They can quote you the Wikipedia entry for “Victorian semi-detached” and confidently hallucinate house prices from 2019. They can even, at great expense, click links.

But general knowledge only gets you so far. If you want a model to actually know the difference between a shared driveway and a private one, or if that house is 4 bed or 3 and a box, you need something deeper.

That’s where this gets powerful.

MCP lets you plug an LLM into a live, structured, domain-specific database (like ours) and suddenly your helpful AI assistant isn’t just guessing what’s on the market. It’s rifling through fresh listings, surfacing real places and pulling in all the context we’ve painstakingly collected.

This isn’t search. It’s conversation on top of knowledge. And that’s where things start to feel different.

Specialised MCP servers are the difference between having the LLM clicking through every website it sees on a Google and being able to go straight to the data with your unique search.

Why bother?

A few reasons.

First, MCP is cool. It’s early days, but it feels like something important. A protocol that lets general-purpose chat models plug into structured tools like Jitty, or calendars, or your smart kettle if you really insist.

Second, we think there’s something magical about blending structured data with natural chat. Search becomes less about filters and dropdowns and more about intention. You don’t need to know what we call that checkbox, you just describe what you want.

Third: because we could. And that’s often reason enough.

How to use it?

Head to your Jitty Account section and under Jitty Labs is a link labelled MCP. After clicking that, you'll have detailed instructions on how to set it up.

So what’s this actually good for?

Right now?

It’s good for:

• Playing with the bleeding edge of chat interfaces
• Trying out house-hunting via conversation
• Seeing how structured, local data feels when piped into a general interface
• Showing off at hack days

But more importantly, it’s a sketch of a possible future. One where your property search isn’t a tab in your browser, but a thread in your chat. One where data lives behind structured, conversational interfaces that understand what you want, even if you don’t tick every filter.

Do we know if this’ll stick?

Nope. It might all change tomorrow. MCP might pivot, fragment, vanish in a puff of protocol drama.

But it’s fun. And it works. And it’s one of those “huh, that’s neat” moments we wanted to share with you lot.

So if you’re curious, fire up the playground, connect to our MCP server and have a chat with Jitty. Ask it for a home. See what turns up.

We’re excited to see where this goes.

And if it all breaks? Well, that’s half the fun.
