What this server can do
6 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.
compare_variants(locale, variant_ids)- Side-by-side localized specs for 2-4 vehicle variants. Required: variant_ids.
filter_cars(ev, body, fuel, year, drive, limit, locale, power_max, power_min, price_max)- Structured catalog filter: fuel type, body type, drive layout, power/price range, model year, EV-only.
get_images(variant_id)- Image URLs (own CDN, no attribution burden) for a vehicle variant. Required: variant_id.
get_specs(locale, variant_id)- Full localized specs for one vehicle variant, in any of 19 languages — 180 spec types covering engine & fuel, performance, EV/hybrid, safety (30 specs), comfort & interior (47), exterior, chassis, dimensions & weights, consumption (WLTP/NEDC). Each spec carries a confidence score; the response carries last_synced_at — surface both so you don't overstate certainty. Required: variant_id.
list_generations(locale, model_id)- Generations/facelifts of a model, with production years. Required: model_id.
search_cars(limit, query, locale)- Free-text search across 102,191 vehicle variants, 116 brands, 19 languages. Returns candidate variant_ids to pass to get_specs/get_images/compare_variants. Each result carries generation_id and year_from/year_to so same-named variants from different generations can be told apart. Required: query.

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
| Signal | Value | What it measures | Window | Observed | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GitHub stars | 0 | Number of GitHub accounts that bookmarked this repository since it was created. It is a bookmark count, not installs, not active users and not quality. | cumulative, all time | GitHub | |
| Last commit | 2026-07-27 | Date of the most recent push to any branch. This is the strongest cheap indicator of whether the project is still maintained. | point in time | GitHub | |
| Open issues | 0 | Open issues plus open pull requests, as GitHub counts them together. A high number can mean an active project or an abandoned one. | as of fetch | GitHub | |
| Latest published version | 1.0.1 | Latest version string the maintainer published to the registry. | as of fetch | Model Context Protocol | |
| Registry record last updated | 2026-07-27 | When the registry record was last updated by its maintainer. | point in time | Model Context Protocol | |
| First listed in the MCP Registry | 2026-07-27 | Date this server was first published to the official MCP Registry. Not a usage or quality measure. | point in time | Model Context Protocol | |
| repository status | active | The repository exists on GitHub and is not archived. This says nothing about how recently it was worked on. | as of fetch | GitHub | |
| mcp tools declared | 6 tools | Number of functions the server itself declared when asked to list them. This is what the server offers an agent, not a measure of how well any of them work. | as of probe | api.cars-data.com | |
| mcp endpoint status | ok | The server listed 6 functions when asked. | as of probe | api.cars-data.com |
