Build a personal investing and home-search research agent
A developer built a multi-agent system with mcp-agent that pulls market data and writes daily reports based on their risk tolerance, then reused it to compare neighborhoods for real estate.
Try it yourself
What you get
Daily research reports matched to your risk tolerance, plus help comparing neighborhoods (flood risk, schools, weather).
Tools
- mcp-agent (open source)
- GPT-4 or local models via Ollama
Steps
- Start from the open-source example in the mcp-agent repo.
- Set your preferences, such as risk tolerance and location needs.
- Let the orchestrator route tasks to agents and the evaluator refine results.
Copy-ready prompt
Compare these 3 neighborhoods for buying a home: [list]. For each, report flood risk, school zones, typical weather and the age of the housing stock, with sources. Then rank them for my priorities: [priorities].
Watch out: Research aid, not financial advice.
