  Derived from the ArcGIS REST service and layer metadata fetched verbatim into
  arcgis/ on 2026-09-07. No MCP server was found for FHEO or HUD on any host,
  in the npm/PyPI registries, or in github.com/hudgov.

  NOBODY SHIPS AN MCP SERVER FOR THIS PROVIDER. The tools below are a candidate
  list derived from the four anonymously callable ArcGIS REST feature services
  FHEO's data is published through; they describe what a server COULD expose,
  not anything an agent can call today. Do not read this file as an agent
  surface. A community npm package (mcp-fairrent) wraps HUD Fair Market Rents,
  which belongs to PD&R on the parent HUD record, not to FHEO.
