Carsxe Mcp
Connects Claude and other MCP clients directly to the CarsXE API for querying vehicle data without leaving your editor. You get 10+ tools covering VIN decoding, license plate lookups, vehicle specs, market values, recall checks, maintenance schedules, and OBD code diagnostics. All responses come back as structured Markdown that LLMs can parse and present cleanly. Useful when you're building automotive tools, need to look up vehicle info mid-conversation, or want to chain queries like decode plate, pull specs, check recalls, and estimate value in one flow. Runs as a remote server at mcp.carsxe.com, so no local setup beyond adding your API key to your editor config. The README shows one-click installs for Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and Windsurf.
