Vincario MCP Server
MCP serverDev toolsThis gives your AI access to vehicle data, so it can answer questions about cars from a VIN. Once added, your AI can decode VINs, pull automotive specifications, check whether a vehicle has been reported stolen, and estimate what a vehicle is worth.
Use Vincario MCP Server in Claude, ChatGPT or Ahel Desktop

After adding it, share a VIN in a conversation and ask your AI to decode it or look up the car's specs, theft status, or value.
What your AI can do with it
- Decode a VIN to identify a vehicle
- Look up automotive specifications for a car
- Check whether a vehicle has been reported stolen
- Estimate a vehicle's value
Install Vincario MCP Server
The server’s own address, for the clients that take one directly. Or connect Ahel once and every client you use reads it from one address, with the account kept on Ahel rather than in each client’s config.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user vincario-mcp-server 'https://mcp.vincario.com/mcp'Run it once in your project, then open /mcp to approve any sign-in the server asks for.
Claude Desktop
https://mcp.vincario.com/mcpAdd a custom connector in Settings, paste this address, and approve the sign-in.
Cursor
cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=vincario-mcp-server&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21jcC52aW5jYXJpby5jb20vbWNwIn0=Open the link and Cursor adds the server at that address.
ChatGPT
https://mcp.vincario.com/mcpIn Settings, enable Developer mode, create an MCP app, and paste this address. Your plan and workspace must allow custom apps.
Codex
codex mcp add vincario-mcp-server --url 'https://mcp.vincario.com/mcp'Run it once, then sign in with codex mcp login vincario-mcp-server if the server asks for an account.
From the project's README
As published by vincario/mcp-vincario in README.md.
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes the Vincario API to AI agents and LLM clients. Enables AI assistants to decode VINs, check stolen vehicle databases, and retrieve market valuations through natural language.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
vin_decode | Decode a VIN and return detailed vehicle information |
vin_decode_info | List available fields for a given VIN (free endpoint) |
stolen_check | Check if a VIN appears in stolen vehicle databases |
vehicle_market_value | Get market valuation for a vehicle (supports odometer input) |
Requirements
- Vincario API key — passed via
X-API-KeyHTTP header - Docker (recommended), or Python 3.11+ with uv
Running with Docker
docker build -t vincario-mcp .
docker run -p 8080:8080 vincario-mcp
The server starts on http://localhost:8080.
Running locally
pip install uv
uv sync
uv run main.py
Connecting to an MCP client
Pass your Vincario API key as an HTTP header with each request:
X-API-Key: your_api_key_here
Claude Code
Add to your MCP config (.mcp.json or claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"vincario": {
"type": "http",
"url": "http://localhost:8080",
"headers": {
"X-API-Key": "your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Hosted endpoint
If connecting to the hosted server at https://mcp.vincario.com/mcp, replace the URL accordingly.
Example usage
Once connected, you can ask your AI assistant:
- "Decode VIN WBAFR9C54BC780006"
- "Is this vehicle stolen? VIN: WBAFR9C54BC780006"
- "What is the market value of VIN WBAFR9C54BC780006 with 85000 km?"
Transport
The server uses streamable HTTP transport (stateless_http=True), which means no persistent session is required. Each request is independent, making it straightforward to deploy behind a reverse proxy or load balancer.
For HTTPS deployment, place a reverse proxy (nginx, Caddy, Cloudflare) in front of the server — the application itself runs on plain HTTP port 8080.
License
See Vincario API Terms of Service for usage terms.
