CarsXE is a B2B vehicle data platform from PiWaves, LLC. It provides VIN decoding, plate decoding, vehicle history, market value, recalls, OCR/recognition, year-make-model data, lien/theft checks, and related automotive data services.

5 integrations · MCP · REST · CLI

CarsXE exposes a vehicle-data REST API on `api.carsxe.com`, a hosted MCP server on `mcp.carsxe.com`, a public docs-search MCP on `docs.carsxe.com/mcp`, and the `carsxe` CLI; the main developer auth is a CarsXE API key, while the hosted MCP server also supports self-onboarding OAuth for compatible remote MCP clients.

Credentials
CarsXE API keyapi_keyGet key ↗

Sign in or create an account at CarsXE, then open the developer dashboard to copy or rotate your API key. Store it as CARSXE_API_KEY for local development and CI. This same key is used for the REST API as the key query parameter, the hosted MCP server as the X-API-Key header, and the carsxe CLI via carsxe config set-key, carsxe login, or CARSXE_API_KEY.

OAuth 2.0oauth2
OAuth 2.0 — self-onboarding

Point your MCP client at the server URL and approve access in the browser. The server supports OAuth Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), so the client registers itself automatically — no developer-portal app, client_id, or client_secret to create.

CarsXE API keyapi_keyGet key ↗

Sign in at https://carsxe.com, then open the developer dashboard at https://carsxe.com/dashboard/developer to create an API key. The same key authenticates the REST API (as the key query parameter), the MCP server (as the X-API-Key header), and the carsxe CLI. See https://docs.carsxe.com/docs/get-started#authentication for details.
