What it does
An MCP server that exposes a multilingual vehicle specifications database covering 102,191 European car variants with 180 specification types across 19 languages. It is for developers building applications that need to search, compare, filter, or retrieve detailed car specifications and images.
- Search for car models by name or specifications across multiple languages and retrieve detailed technical specs like engine, safety, comfort, and EV data.
- Compare specifications side-by-side for 2-4 vehicle variants to help users evaluate different models or trim levels.
- Filter available cars by fuel type, body style, drivetrain, power range, production year, or EV-only status to narrow down options.

Before you enable it
An MCP server runs with whatever access you give it. Start with a development account rather than production, and check which tools the server exposes before you let an agent call them unattended.
