Car Repair Cost Estimator is an MCP server with 7 tools an agent can call, among them decode_vin, estimate_vehicle_value, get_repair_cost_estimate. It answers at https://carrepaircostestimator.com/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 11 of 11 times since 2 September 2026; the last check, on 19 October 2026, succeeded.
Car repair cost estimates by make, model and repair type. 31 cost guides, VIN decode. Free.
Description as the publisher wrote it.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
decode_vin | Decode a 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) into year, make, model, trim, body style, and manufacturer. Use before estimate_vehicle_value to get exact vehicle details. Inputs: vin |
estimate_vehicle_value | Estimate the current US market value (USD) of a vehicle from year, make, model, and optional trim. Deterministic model: base price by make, trim multiplier, age-based depreciation. Useful to judge whether a repair is worth the cost. Inputs: year, make, model, trim |
get_repair_cost_estimate | Estimate the cost of a car repair job (parts + labor, USD, US national averages 2026) by make and repair type. Returns low/high ranges for parts, labor, and total. Use list_makes_models and list_repair_types to discover valid slugs. Inputs: make_slug, part_slug |
get_repair_cost_guide | Get the full editorial cost guide for a repair type: direct answer, price range, cost breakdown table, price factors, failure symptoms, and FAQs (US market, 2026). Use list_repair_guides to discover slugs. Inputs: slug |
list_makes_models | List all supported car makes and their models (slugs, EV flag, price multiplier). Use the make_slug values with get_repair_cost_estimate and list_repair_types. |
list_repair_guides | List all editorial repair cost guides (slug, title, category, price range). Optionally filter by category: body, mechanical, glass-wheels, or electrical. Inputs: category |
list_repair_types | List the repair job types available for cost estimates (slugs, typical parts cost, labor hours). Pass a make_slug to get only the jobs applicable to that make (EVs skip ICE-only jobs). Inputs: make_slug |

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://carrepaircostestimator.com/mcp. The exact JSON is above, with the same setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI and the rest.
It listed its tools to an anonymous client, so reading the tool list needs no key. Individual tools can still ask for credentials in their own inputs.
