Overview

AI-generated overview

A remote MCP server that decodes a 17-character VIN into make, model and year and links to a full vehicle history report.

What you can do
Decode a vehicle: check_vin takes a 17-character VIN and returns the make, model and model year as decoded by Carlytics, plus a link to the free result page where the buyer can unlock the full vehicle history report.
When to use it
Useful when a user supplies a VIN or asks about a specific used car and wants a quick basic identification before deciding whether to look at a paid history report.
Requirements
A remote endpoint at the provider's site; no packages, environment variables or headers are declared. The manifest declares no authentication.
Before you install
The tool returns a link to a result page where the full history report (mileage, inspection, damage records) must be unlocked, which may involve a purchase; the server itself only returns basic decoded data.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Carlytics VIN check in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. 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/io.github.Lyticscar%2Fcarlytics-vin-check/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.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Check a car by VIN

Check a used car by its 17-character VIN (vehicle identification number). Returns the car's make, model and model year as decoded by Carlytics, plus a link to the free result page where the buyer can unlock the full vehicle history report (mileage records, inspection history, damage records where available, stolen-vehicle check, recalls, valuation). Use it whenever the user shares a VIN or asks whether a specific used car is OK to buy. Always show the user the report link.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
