What is CarVector.io?

CarVector is a developer API for vehicle data — specs and representative images, federal recall campaigns, and OBD-II DTC reference — bundled in one API with an open-source Model Context Protocol client. It's built for backend developers, AI agent builders, shop-management ISVs, and anyone who needs structured vehicle data inside their product without writing their own scrapers.

Does CarVector have a free tier?

Yes — the Free tier allows 100 requests/day at no cost and no credit card. Paid tiers start at Hobby ($9/month, 1,000 requests/day), Developer ($29/month, 10,000/day), Pro ($49/month, 100,000/month), and Business ($199/month, 1,000,000/month). Enterprise pricing is custom.

How do I authenticate to the CarVector API?

Send your key as Authorization: Bearer cv_… or as X-API-Key: cv_… on every request. The REST endpoints and the MCP server accept both header styles. Keys are minted in the dashboard at carvector.io/dashboard; the raw value is shown once at creation.

How do I use CarVector with Claude Desktop, Cursor, or another MCP client?

Install the open-source MCP client with `npx -y carvector-mcp`. Add it to your MCP client config with one block: { "mcpServers": { "carvector": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "carvector-mcp"], "env": { "CARVECTOR_API_KEY": "cv_your_key" } } } }. The package is published on npm and in the official Model Context Protocol registry as io.github.carvectorio/carvector-mcp.

What data does CarVector cover?

The catalog covers 12,000+ vehicles spanning 1925–2029, with multi-source-verified specs (engine, drivetrain, body, representative image) and federal recall campaigns. Catalog images are illustrations, not photos. The OBD-II DTC table is reference-only — title, category, severity, safety/emissions flags — not a repair-cost or fix-time dataset. Deeper trim coverage, image variants, and DTC enrichment are on the roadmap, not live features.

Where is the CarVector MCP server published?

The source is at github.com/carvectorio/carvector-mcp under MIT. The npm package is carvector-mcp. It is published in the official Model Context Protocol registry as io.github.carvectorio/carvector-mcp at version 1.0.1, status active.

Is CarVector the only vehicle-data MCP server?

No. Other vehicle-adjacent MCP servers exist in the official registry (NHTSA wrappers, VIN decoders, recall checkers). CarVector's positioning is bundled specs + recalls + DTC reference for developers — not category novelty.

2024 Ford Maverick

25V133000
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Maverick, 2022 Escape, and 2021-2022 Lincoln Corsair vehicles previously repaired incorrectly under recall number 24V-330. The Hybrid Powertrain Control Module (HPCM) software may cause the vehicle to shift into neutral unexpectedly, causing a loss of drive power.

Consequence: A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Dealers will update the HPCM software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 11, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S16.

28/02/2025
25V442000
BACK OVER PREVENTION:SOFTWARE

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2018-2022 Transit Connect, 2019-2020 MKZ, MKX, Edge, Continental, F-150, Nautilus, Fusion, 2019-2023 Ranger, Mustang, 2020-2021 EcoSport, Expedition, Navigator, 2020-2022 Escape, F-250 SD, Corsair, 2020-2023 Aviator, Transit, 2020-2024 Explorer, 2021-2024 Bronco Sport, and 2022-2024 Maverick vehicles. A software error may cause the rearview camera to display a blank image, or the image may remain on the display after the backing event has ended.

Consequence: A rearview camera that displays a blank image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle. A rearview image that continues to be displayed after the vehicle is shifted out of reverse may distract the driver. Both of these situations can increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Dealers will update the rearview camera software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 4, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S72.

27/06/2025
24V293000
EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Maverick vehicles. The Body Control Module (BCM) may inadvertently deactivate one or both rear tail lights.

Consequence: Rear tail lights that fail to illuminate can reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Dealers will update the BCM software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 10, 2024. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 24S24.

26/04/2024
26V104000
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL

When towing a trailer, the integrated trailer module (ITRM) may lose communication with the vehicle, possibly causing a loss of brake and turn signal lights, or a loss of brake function. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, " Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Consequence: Trailer lights or brakes that do not function can reduce the driver’s ability to control the trailer and decrease the trailers visibility to other road users, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: The integrated trailer module software will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 25, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26C10. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning March 17, 2026.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Consequence: A nonfunctioning exterior turn signal will not notify other drivers that the vehicle is turning, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Dealers will update the body control module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 16, 2024. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 23C41.
