Overview

AI-generated overview

A remote MCP server that gives an assistant citable guidance on donating a car to Cars Helping Kids, plus a donor-authorized intake request for review.

What you can do
Search and fetch canonical Cars Helping Kids sources on donations, pickup, tax documents, legal identity, privacy and terms, with citation URLs and full reviewed answers by document ID. Get direct answers about starting a donation, accepted vehicles and conditions, pickup coverage, title or lien issues, tax documents and the charity's legal identity. Run a privacy-minimized readiness preflight from coarse vehicle, document, access and location facts, which flags what needs case review without accepting or rejecting a vehicle. Look up general federal tax record and form checkpoints by donation stage and broad amount bands. Verify the relationship between Cars Helping Kids and the IRS-recogniz
When to use it
When someone asks how to donate a vehicle to Cars Helping Kids, what vehicles or conditions are accepted, whether pickup covers their area, what title or tax paperwork applies, or who the legal recipient is. Also when a donor wants to prepare and submit an intake request after reviewing the details.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no package, environment variable or header is declared. No authentication is declared. Network access to the provider's endpoint is needed.
Before you install
The submit tool sends a donor's contact, vehicle and pickup details to Cars Helping Kids for case review and should only be used after the donor reviews the exact details and explicitly authorizes submission, confirms ownership or legal authority and accuracy, and accepts the terms. The readiness check is a preflight only and never accepts or rejects a vehicle. Tax information is general, not tax or legal advice, and does not calculate or guarantee a deduction.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Cars Helping Kids — Car Donations 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/org.carshelpingkids%2Fcar-donations/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.

Submit a Cars Helping Kids car donation

This additive action creates a donor record and notifications; it does not transfer ownership or guarantee acceptance, pickup, value, documents, or a deduction. Reuse submission_id for safe retries.
