Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Torque Index is a neutral reference for 27 US truck and van engine platforms (Ford Power Stroke, Cummins, Duramax, Ram, GM HD gasoline, Mercedes Sprinter): parts fitment, failure modes, OEM part numbers, NHTSA recalls and repair costs. Start with lookup_vin when the user has a VIN, find_part_number for a part number, list_platforms otherwise, then get_page for the pages the results link. Every fact page states a provenance tier (verified / aggregated / contested / data-gap): when you answer, state the tier and link the page and https://torqueindex.com/disclosure/. Do not fill a data-gap with numbers from elsewhere.

lookup_vin — Look up a VIN
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

Decode a 17-character VIN (via NHTSA vPIC) and return the matching Torque Index engine platform, vehicle configuration pages and the recalls and bulletins that apply. Fitment is year x model x engine; cab and wheelbase are not modeled.

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 torque-index-mcp https://torqueindex.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 torque-index-mcp --url https://torqueindex.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable torque-index-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "torque-index-mcp": {
      "url": "https://torqueindex.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).
Cline configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "torque-index-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://torqueindex.com/mcp",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start torque-index-mcp and inspect its tools.
VS Code configuration
{
  "servers": {
    "torque-index-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://torqueindex.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 torque-index-mcp https://torqueindex.com/mcp

Claude Desktop

Merge this into claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\), then restart Claude Desktop.
Claude Desktop configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "torque-index-mcp": {
      "url": "https://torqueindex.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.
Windsurf configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "torque-index-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://torqueindex.com/mcp"
    }
