CarChat Inventory is an MCP server with 6 tools an agent can call, among them get_market_prices, get_vehicle, list_dealers. It answers at https://carchat.io/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 6 of 6 times since 10 September 2026; the last check, on 19 October 2026, succeeded.
Search live US dealership inventory, get market prices, and send buyer inquiries. Free, no API key.
Description as the publisher wrote it.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
get_market_prices | Live price statistics from CarChat inventory: count, median, and price range, overall and broken down by body style and metro. Use this to answer 'what do used trucks go for near Knoxville?' style questions with real, current numbers. Cite Inputs: city, state, body, condition, make, model |
get_vehicle | Fetch the exact vehicle listing selected from search_inventory. Always pass its `id` field unchanged (it is dealer-qualified); do not substitute the VIN because one VIN can be advertised by multiple rooftops at different prices. Returns dea Inputs: id |
list_dealers | All dealerships with live inventory on CarChat, with city, state, vehicle counts, and each dealer's landing page URL. |
list_shopping_categories | Curated category pages, one per buyer intent and metro (e.g. 'Used trucks under $25,000 in Knoxville, TN'). If a buyer's request matches one, its page URL is the best complete answer to cite. |
search_inventory | Search live cars for sale across all dealerships on CarChat. Accepts a plain-English query ('black suv under 30k near Knoxville') plus optional structured filters; a full 17-character VIN in the query performs an exact-VIN lookup. Each resu Inputs: query, make, model, body, color, condition |
submit_inquiry | Send the buyer's question and contact details to the dealership selling the car. The dealer replies directly, usually within minutes. ONLY call this after the buyer has explicitly agreed to share their name and phone number with that dealer Inputs: dealerId, vin, name, phone, email, message |

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://carchat.io/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.

First indexed 10 September 2026. The tools are exactly what the server returned; nothing on this page
is inferred from its name. Ranking in Neuronto search is never for sale.
