Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check motstat every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

cars

search_cars

Find UK car makes and models by name, e.g. "Fiesta", "Toyota Yaris" or "Kia". Returns up to 10 matches with their MOT reliability grade, first-time pass rate and the share of UK cars they beat, for get_model_reliability or get_make_reliability.

lookup

lookup_plate

One UK car's MOT history from the DVSA by its registration: each test with its result, mileage and defects or advisories, whether its MOT is valid, warnings (mileage going down, gaps with no MOT, an outstanding safety recall) and its model's reliability grade.

make

get_make_reliability

A make's MOT reliability grade over all its cars, and every graded model of that make ranked by the share of UK cars it beats once age and mileage are taken into account.

model

get_model_reliability

A model's MOT reliability over all years: grade, first-time pass rate, points above or below a typical car of the same age and mileage, and the share of UK cars it beats. Give year, fuel and/or engine to also get those versions, each with its own grade and the areas where it fails more often than similar cars (weak spots).

motstat — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can motstat do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_make_reliability, get_model_reliability, lookup_plate, search_cars. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is motstat working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 124 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect motstat?

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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does motstat need an API key?

No. motstat completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is motstat?

It answers our handshake in 124 ms on average, which is faster than 89% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
