What this MCP does

Provides used-vehicle market data, VIN decoding, and safety recall and complaint information.

check_limits
Check Limits
Check your scout capacity and obtain a creationRequestId with requestExpiresAt. Pass that ID unchanged to create_scout within 24 hours and reuse it for retries of the same confirmed request.

check_recalls
Check Recalls
Read available NHTSA model-year recall campaigns and complaint counts. These records do not establish a specific VIN's recall coverage or repair status.

create_scout
Create Scout
Create a saved search after the user confirms its criteria. Use the creationRequestId from check_limits and reuse it with the same criteria for retries within 24 hours. Scouts check roughly every 24 hours and email a daily digest. If the result is uncertain, read your scouts before retrying.

Update Scout
Change confirmed scout fields and preserve the rest. This overwrites the supplied saved criteria and changes future marketplace checks and daily digests. Read the scout first. Use vehicleIndex to edit one saved vehicle, or vehicleCombinations to replace the full list. Filter objects change only supplied includes or excludes. After a conflict, read and confirm again.
