Title Check MCP

An MCP server providing VIN/HIN pre-purchase reports for vehicles and boats. It aggregates data from NHTSA recalls, complaints, investigations, and state/NMVTIS lien and title-brand sources. The server supports both free preview tools and paid premium reports via x402 micropayments on the Base network.

Endpoint and access

No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.

vehicle_report

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Generate a pre-purchase report for a titled asset by VIN (cars, trucks, RVs, trailers, heavy equipment) or HIN (recreational boats). Returns open federal NHTSA recalls (severity-ranked), consumer-complaint crash/fire/injury/death counts, open investigations, VIN check-digit + factory decode, and the exact next-step sources for lien & title-brand. Public NHTSA/USCG data — not an official title record; lien/salvage need a state/NMVTIS check, which the report links.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.

Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http title-check-mcp https://titlecheck.dropwatchhq.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).

Codex configuration

codex mcp add title-check-mcp --url https://titlecheck.dropwatchhq.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable title-check-mcp in your MCP settings.

Cursor configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "title-check-mcp": {
      "url": "https://titlecheck.dropwatchhq.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).

Cline configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "title-check-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",

      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start title-check-mcp and inspect its tools.

VS Code configuration

{
  "servers": {
    "title-check-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://titlecheck.dropwatchhq.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.

Gemini CLI configuration

gemini mcp add --transport http title-check-mcp https://titlecheck.dropwatchhq.com/mcp

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, enter this server URL and enable it for the conversation. This is a manual remote-connector handoff, not a desktop JSON configuration.

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.

Windsurf configuration
