What is the difference between Casafari MCP and the Casafari REST API?

Casafari MCP and the REST API serve the same property graph, but MCP serves assistants and agents and uses OAuth 2.1, while REST offers 39 operations and signs in with email and password.

• MCP: one server at https://mcp.casafari.com/ over Streamable HTTP, with a gateway that checks your account's rights on every call. It offers 22 data tools plus list_servers.
• REST: base URL https://api.casafari.com, with no gateway. POST /login returns an access token and a refresh token (JWT), and GET /refresh-token renews it. The public OpenAPI description is at https://docs.api.casafari.com/openapi.json.

Not everything is available over both. Properties, Alerts and References are REST only, AgentGraph AI is MCP only, and Area Insights and Comparables & Valuation differ in detail.
