Put your own values in place of <KIA_USERNAME> (Your Kia Owners Portal / Kia Access account email address), <KIA_PASSWORD> (Your Kia Owners Portal / Kia Access account password). The author’s registry entry marks them as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: KIA_WRITE_MODE (Write-tool gate: "none" registers no vehicle commands; "comfort" registers climate and charging only; "all" adds door lock/unlock (default "comfort"). Unrecognized values fail closed to "none"), KIA_DEVICE_ID (Optional stable device UUID used for the app login handshake. Generated and cached under ~/.kiaaccess-mcp/ when omitted), KIA_RMTOKEN (Optional. A remember-me token from a completed MFA bootstrap elsewhere (copy `rmtoken` out of that machine's ~/.kiaaccess-mcp/session.json). Set it and the one-time bootstrap is skipped entirely; set KIA_DEVICE_ID to the SAME value that was in effect during the bootstrap), KIA_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS (Optional. Per-request deadline for Kia API calls, in milliseconds (default 30000)), KIA_SESSION_FILE (Optional. Where the session store lives (default ~/.kiaaccess-mcp/session.json)).

Kiaaccess MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Kiaaccess MCP?
Kiaaccess MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package kiaaccess-mcp was installed 330 times last week.
How do I connect Kiaaccess MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls kiaaccess-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Kiaaccess MCP?
The npm package kiaaccess-mcp was installed 330 times in the last week. Week over week that is +26%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Kiaaccess MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
