Can an AI agent set up IDX widgets through MCP?

Yes. With the RealSavvy connector, an AI agent can set up IDX widgets end to end: look up neighborhoods, save a search, grid or slider widget, preview how many homes it will show, get the embed code, and check the live install. It never handles listing data. Listings render only inside the widgets, which carry the MLS credit and disclaimers and stay synced with the MLS.

The widget flow

  • get_site: which markets and which home search your site uses
  • find_neighborhoods: neighborhoods, subdivisions, cities and ZIPs in your market
  • save_widget, then preview_widget to see the home count and a preview link
  • get_embed_code: one script tag plus a slot per widget
  • check_install on the live page

Widgets the agent can add

  • MLS search with a map
  • Neighborhood grids and listing grids
  • Sliders and your own listings
  • A Follow Up Boss compliant contact form

Native search on Savvy Studio

set_search_engine switches your search widget to Savvy Studio's native search when a stored MLS feed exists, and it asks first. Native search with a map runs on your own pages instead of an iframe, where the MLS feed supports it. Listings are auto-synced, and listing detail pages are dedicated and indexable on your own domain, which helps search engines find them.

What you need

A paid RealSavvy account with IDX. On Savvy Studio that is the IDX add-on at $99/month (or $990/year) plus a one-time $99 IDX setup fee, added to the Website plan. Plan limits apply to how many widgets you can save, and get_site shows your limits. The self-guided demo shows the product before you sign up.

More questions, answered

Does the agent need my MLS login?

No. The widgets use your RealSavvy IDX feed. The AI only manages widget settings and where each widget goes on the page, and it never sees listing rows.

What if a widget shows no homes?

Ask the agent to run find_neighborhoods again or widen the filters, then preview_widget to check the count before you place it.

Can it remove a widget?

Yes. remove_widget deletes a saved widget. Ask the AI to take the matching slot div out of the page too, then run check_install.
