Car Check
app.openkrill/cars · 1.0.0
Check a US car: decode a VIN, see recalls, crash ratings, owner complaints and fuel economy.
Nobody here has read this server's code, because it publishes none. The description above is the maker's own, from the registry. A connection test shows whether it answers and what tools it says it has; it never calls a tool, so it cannot show what one does with your data.
Where it sits in the directory's order
What can be seen from outside, weighed as the directory publishes.
Observable signals: 45 of 100 points (at most 60 here)
| Input | Points | What was seen |
|---|---|---|
| Source published | held at 0 | No entry here publishes source: that is what puts it in this directory. |
| Licence stated | held at 0 | With no files, there is nothing for a licence to be stated in or held against. |
| Advisory state | held at 0 | Advisory databases index packages, and these entries publish none, so there is nothing to look up. |
| Auth declared | 0 of 15 | The registry entry declares no key. That is what it declares, not a finding that it has no protection. |

The MCP handshake, then a request for the tool list, with no key and no data of yours. Run nightly, and by anyone, at most once every ten minutes per server.

The tools it lists (7, as of 4 days ago)
The tool-description rules found nothing in these descriptions. They look for instructions aimed at a model and for hidden characters; they cannot see what a tool does when it runs.
decode_vinUse this when the user gives a 17-character vehicle identification number (VIN) and wants to know what car it is, such as "what car is 1HGCM82633A004353?". Returns the model year, make, model, trim, body class, engine, fuel, plant country and NHTSA's error codes and error text, which flag a wrong check digit or an incomplete decode. US-market vehicles. A data lookup, not a history report.
get_vehicle_reportUse this when the user wants an overview of a US car, such as "give me a report on a 2016 Honda Civic". Pass a VIN, or the year, make and model. Returns NHTSA 5-star crash ratings per variant, the number of recalls and the newest ones, the number of owner complaints with the components named most often, and EPA fuel economy. Complaint texts and VIN fragments are never returned; complaints are not confirmed defects. Not a valuation, history report or advice.
list_recallsUse this when the user asks about recalls for a car model, such as "any recalls on a 2018 Toyota Camry?". Pass the year, make and model and optionally a limit of up to 25. Returns each recall's campaign number, date, component, summary, consequence and remedy, and whether NHTSA says to park the car. Recalls are listed by year, make and model, not by VIN: to check one specific car, use nhtsa.gov/recalls. A model with no recalls listed is not a safety guarantee.
get_fuel_economyUse this when the user asks about mpg, electric range or fuel cost for a car, such as "what mpg does a 2022 Toyota RAV4 hybrid get?". Pass the year, make and model, and optionally words such as AWD or hybrid to narrow it. Returns the EPA's city, highway and combined mpg (mpge for electric vehicles) for each configuration, with electric range, tailpipe CO2 and estimated annual fuel cost, and lists the configurations not shown. EPA estimates, not a promise of real-world mileage.

How this entry becomes a listing
For the maker. The catalogue lists what it can read, and this server publishes nothing to read yet. There are two routes, and only the first is open today.
Publish the source Open today
- Put the server's source in a public repository on github.com, with a licence.
- Keep a server.json in that repository naming this server,
app.openkrill/cars, and declare the repository in it:"repository": { "url": "https://github.com/owner/repo", "source": "github" }, adding"subfolder"when the server lives in a folder. - Publish that version to the official MCP registry.
- The nightly registry sweep records the declaration. This page stays, dated, and says the source is declared but not yet read.
- The catalogue reads declared repositories at a pinned commit, in batches run by hand, and lists the servers that meet the batch's rules (among them a server.json at that commit naming the server, an https endpoint and a licence). When it lists this server, this page links to the listing. There is no schedule, so no date can be promised.
