NHTSA Vehicle Safety
Connects Claude to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's public datasets covering vehicle safety recalls, consumer complaints, and crash statistics. You'd reach for this when building automotive research tools, consumer safety dashboards, or anything that needs to cross-reference VINs, make/model data, or incident reports against federal records. The server runs on OlyPort's infrastructure at port 8009 and follows their standard streamable-http pattern with a 100 calls/day free tier. Useful for investigative journalism workflows, vehicle history lookups, or policy analysis that touches transportation safety.
