A remote MCP server that lets an assistant search and compare live US and Canadian dealer vehicle listings, look up dealerships, and submit test-drive, trade-in
What you can do
Search live cars, SUVs, trucks, EVs, motorcycles, RVs and trailers by place, budget, make, model, condition, fuel and features, and get full detail on one listing by its ID. Compare two to four returned listings side by side. Find dealerships by name or place and get their contacts, sites and sales or service hours. After explicit consent, request a test drive, request a trade-in appraisal, or send a question to a listing's dealer. Search and fetch tools are for citation only, not shopping.
When to use it
Useful when someone is shopping for a vehicle in the US or Canada and wants live dealer inventory filtered by budget, location or specs, wants listings compared, or wants to contact a dealer about a test drive, trade-in or question.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no package, environment variables or headers are declared. No authentication is declared. Listings cover the US and Canada, excluding Quebec.
Before you install
The test-drive, trade-in appraisal and vehicle inquiry tools send requests to dealers, so use them only after explicit consent and confirmation. Search and fetch are citation-only and should not be used for shopping or detail. The server asks that search be called once without retrying or broadening.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.
Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.
Use with an agent
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.
Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.carhandshake%2Finventory/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.
Use for live US/CA cars/SUVs/trucks/EVs/motorcycles/RVs/trailers by place (near me), budget, mileage, make/model, condition, body, fuel, features, named dealer, or live-listing recommendation. Quebec excluded. Call once; never retry/refine/broaden. Fallback stays in-country; filters exact. Facts only; web only if asked. Named-dealer stock: find_dealerships then shop. Not repair/reliability/facts/MSRP/out-of-market, named-source, web-only, or no-app. Verbatim request; never ask for ZIP/postal.
