Verify the Connection
Once connected, try a simple prompt to confirm everything is working:search_businesses tool and return a list of matching business listings from Venturu.
If you see business results, you’re connected. No API key needed for search tools.
Optional: Authenticate for Full Access
Search and detail tools work without authentication. To use contact tools (sending messages to brokers and sellers), you’ll need to authenticate with your Venturu account. When you attempt to use a tool likecontact_broker, your MCP client will walk you through an OAuth login flow — just approve the connection with your Venturu credentials.
