WhichTrim vehicle records is an MCP server with 7 tools an agent can call, among them check_recalls, compare_vehicles, decode_vin. It answers at https://whichtrim.com/portal/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 4 of 4 times since 15 September 2026; the last check, on 19 October 2026, succeeded.
US vehicle recalls, complaints, EPA figures, VIN decode and trouble codes, with sources.
Description as the publisher wrote it.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
check_recalls | Every NHTSA recall campaign on file for one model year, with severity, park-outside and do-not-drive advisories and the reported completion rate. IMPORTANT: recalls apply to a build range, not to a model year, so this cannot establish wheth Inputs: id |
compare_vehicles | Two model years side by side on the figures that decide most purchases: fuel economy or EV range, Safety Signal grade, recalls, complaints, crash rating and starting price where a press kit is on file. Inputs: a, b |
decode_vin | Decode a 17-character VIN against NHTSA's vPIC database and join it to the WhichTrim record for that model year: year, make, model, engine, plant, plus the grade and recall campaigns on file. Inputs: vin |
get_vehicle | The full published record for one model year: EPA fuel economy, NHTSA recalls, owner-complaint counts and the mileage at which owners reported problems, crash ratings, open investigations, service bulletins and the diagnostic trouble codes Inputs: id |
lookup_bulletin | A manufacturer service bulletin, service campaign, warranty extension or over-the-air notice by the number on the letter or the document (Hyundai 9D6, Kia SC199, '26-01-068H TSB', GM N262570770). Returns what NHTSA's summary says, the model Inputs: number, make |
lookup_trouble_code | What a diagnostic trouble code (P0420, U0100, …) means where the OBD-II standard defines it, and — the part no other source publishes — which vehicles' federal record actually names it: how many manufacturer service bulletins and owner comp Inputs: code |
search_vehicles | Find model years in the WhichTrim catalogue by make, model and/or year. Returns each match with its Safety Signal grade, recall count and page URL. Use this first to get the vehicle id that the other tools take. Inputs: query, year, limit |

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://whichtrim.com/portal/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.
