v1.2.0by carsxe · author: CarsXE
MCP server for CarsXE vehicle data: VIN specs, plate decode, history, images, recalls (VIN, YMM, batch), YMM options, ownership, market value, and OBD codes.
What carsxe does, in the publisher's words
A modular, extensible Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for querying and analyzing vehicle data from the CarsXE API, with beautiful, chat-friendly Markdown output for LLMs and chatbots.
The CarsXE MCP server is a Node.js/TypeScript application that exposes a suite of tools for querying comprehensive vehicle data from the CarsXE API. It is designed for seamless integration with LLMs (like Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, etc.), chatbots, and developer tools, providing:
- 🧩 Clean, modular code for each CarsXE endpoint
- 📝 Consistent, Markdown-rich output for chat/LLM environments
- 🛡️ Robust error handling and user-friendly messages
- 🔌 Easy extensibility for new endpoints and features

Skills · 17
- international-vin
- Decode an international VIN via the CarsXE MCP tool decode_international_vin. Use for non-US or European/Asian VINs when the user wants manufacturer, specs, or emissions details beyond the US specs tool.
- lien-theft
- Check lien and theft records by VIN via the CarsXE MCP tool check_lien_and_theft. Use when buying a used car and the user wants lien-holder, stolen, recovery, or clean-title verification.
- market-value
- Get estimated market value by VIN via the CarsXE MCP tool get_market_value. Use for retail, trade-in, or fair-price questions. Optional state, mileage, and condition (excellent, clean, average, rough) refine the estimate.
- mcp-apps-ui
- Render CarsXE vehicle, market-value, or recalls cards in ChatGPT / MCP Apps hosts. Use after fetching data with get_vehicle_specs, get_market_value, or get_vehicle_recalls.
- obd-decoder
- Decode an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code via the CarsXE MCP tool decode_obd_code. Use for check-engine or dashboard codes such as P0115, P0300, or C1234.
- ownership
- Enterprise owner and resident lookup via get_ownership_by_vin, get_ownership_by_person, get_ownership_by_address, and get_ownership_by_zip. Use when the user asks who owns a vehicle or who lives at an address or ZIP.
- plate-decoder
- Decode a license plate to VIN and basic vehicle info via the CarsXE MCP tool decode_license_plate. Use when the user has a plate number and state (and optional country) rather than a VIN.
- plate-image-recognition
- Extract license plate text from a vehicle image URL via the CarsXE MCP tool read_license_plate_from_image. Use when the user provides a direct image URL of a plate, not a typed plate number.
- recalls-batch
- Submit and retrieve async bulk recall checks (up to 10,000 VINs) via submit_recalls_batch, get_recalls_batch_status, get_recalls_batch_results, and download_recalls_batch.
- recalls-ymm
- Get safety recall information by year, make, and model via the CarsXE MCP tool get_recalls_by_ymm. Use when the user asks about recalls for a YMM and does not have a VIN.
- vehicle-history
- Get a comprehensive vehicle history report by VIN via the CarsXE MCP tool get_vehicle_history. Use for accidents, owners, titles, junk/salvage, insurance brands, or odometer history.
- vehicle-images
- Get vehicle photos by make and model via the CarsXE MCP tool get_vehicle_images. Use when the user wants pictures of a vehicle. Optional year, trim, color, angle, photoType, size, license, transparent, and format filters.
