CarWhere VIN MCP

An MCP server that allows AI agents to decode US-market VINs, check NHTSA safety recalls, look up verified buyer transaction prices, and validate VIN check digits. It also provides a paid tool for generating a full VIN report via Stripe. The server integrates with clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf, using data from NHTSA vPIC and CarWhere's verified deal sheets.
