# Which tools exist only over MCP, and which operations only over REST?

> **Casafari is the AI agent-native real estate data intelligence platform.** The most complete property index in Europe: a deduplicated, cleaned property graph of residential and commercial property, for sale and for rent, in 16 countries. Every property is one record with its full price and market history. [How the property graph is built](/docs/property-graph).

Three Area Insights tools and all 13 AgentGraph AI tools are available only over MCP; Properties, Alerts, References, the comparables AI builder, and two Area Insights operations are available only over REST.

MCP only:
- [`ma_get_current_datetime`](https://platform.casafari.com/docs/area-insights/get_current_datetime), [`ma_get_time_series_operations`](https://platform.casafari.com/docs/area-insights/get_time_series_operations), and [`ma_get_heatmap`](https://platform.casafari.com/docs/area-insights/get_heatmap).
- Every `agentgraph_…` tool.

REST only:
- All 5 Properties, 12 Alerts, and 10 References operations.
- [`POST /api/v2/comparables/ai-builder`](https://platform.casafari.com/docs/rest/comparables-valuation/initialize-an-ai-builder-session-v2).
- [`POST /market-analytics-api/distributions/properties`](https://platform.casafari.com/docs/rest/area-insights/properties-distribution) and [`POST /market-analytics-api/analysis`](https://platform.casafari.com/docs/rest/area-insights/analysis).

Everything else is available over both: comparables search and the Area Insights time series and distributions.
