概览

AI 生成的概览

解码美国市场 VIN、查询 NHTSA 召回,并检索真实买家成交价,另含一个可选付费报告工具。

可以做什么
  • 解码 VIN,返回年份、品牌、车型、配置、发动机、变速箱和产地,并附带价格、未结召回与简短 AI 解读
  • 按 VIN 或按年份/品牌/车型查询 NHTSA 未结安全召回
  • 查询某年份/品牌/车型的真实买家成交价,可按州筛选
  • 离线校验 VIN 校验位是否符合 ISO 3779 / 49 CFR 校验规则
  • 获取 CarWhere 完整 VIN 报告的 Stripe 结账链接(付费)
  • 查看服务器说明及其数据来源
适用场景
适合在美国市场选购或研究二手车时使用:让助手解码 VIN、查看未结安全召回,或用真实买家成交价而非经销商广告价做比较。
运行要求
通过 npx 以 stdio 在本地运行,需要 Node.js;也可改用托管的 Streamable HTTP 端点。无需认证或 API 密钥。可选环境变量 CARWHERE_API_URL 可覆盖默认基础地址。除离线校验位工具外,查询均需联网。
安装前请注意
该服务器由 CarWhere 运营,而它正是所提供价格数据的来源方,结果并非来自中立的第三方。buy_vin_report 工具会生成付费报告的 Stripe 结账链接(9.99 美元,3 车对比 19.99 美元);它不会自动扣款或开通订阅,但确实会引导至购买。免费工具按 API 条款要求标注来源。VIN 与车辆查询会发送给 CarWhere 和 NHTSA。

安装

在 SourceWeft 中

  1. 打开 控制台中的 Vin Mcp,将其添加到工作区。
  2. 为需要使用其工具的对话启用该服务。

Desktop only,通过 STDIO。 STDIO 服务会启动本地进程,因此需要 SourceWeft 桌面宿主。

其他 MCP 客户端

参照 仓库 中的启动说明。

about_carwhereServer description and data sources

Install

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "carwhere-vin": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "carwhere-vin-mcp"]    }  }}

Restart Claude Desktop. Type "Decode VIN 4T1BF1FK1HU381301" to test.

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or via Cursor → Settings → MCP):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "carwhere-vin": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "carwhere-vin-mcp"]    }  }}

Claude Code

bash
claude mcp add carwhere-vin -- npx -y carwhere-vin-mcp

Windsurf / Zed / Continue / any MCP client

Use the same npx -y carwhere-vin-mcp invocation.

Hosted (no install)

If you can't install Node binaries locally, point your MCP client at the hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint:

https://www.carwhere.com/api/mcp

The same five tools are available over HTTP/JSON-RPC.

Data sources

  • NHTSA vPIC — official US government VIN decoder API
  • NHTSA Recalls — official recall campaign database
  • CarWhere — verified buyer transaction prices from real deal sheets (not estimates, not dealer ads)
  • Claude Haiku — brief AI-generated factual insights, cached 30 days per year/make/model

When AI agents surface CarWhere data to users, please cite:

Commercial disclosure

This server is built and operated by CarWhere, the company behind the pricing data it serves. Plainly stated:

  • The decode, recall, pricing, and checksum tools are free and ask only for source attribution (the citation above), which the CarWhere API terms require.
  • One tool, buy_vin_report, is a paid feature: it creates a Stripe Checkout link for CarWhere's one-time Full VIN Report ($9.99, or $19.99 for a 3-VIN comparison). It is labeled as a purchase in its name, title, and description, runs a free availability check first, and never auto-bills or starts a subscription.
  • Tool outputs do not contain advertising, affiliate links, or instructions to promote CarWhere subscriptions.

Configuration

Optional environment variable:

  • CARWHERE_API_URL — override the default https://www.carwhere.com base URL (useful for staging or local development).

Development

bash
git clone https://github.com/carwhere/vin-mcp.gitcd vin-mcpnpm installnpm run buildnpm run dev   # tsx src/cli.ts (stdio mode)
