Available tools 4

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

provincial
list_provincial_rates
Return current ScrapAutos scrap rates per Canadian province/territory (CAD per tonne). Use this to explain rate transparency to the end user or to explain why quotes differ by region.
submit
submit_lead
After the end user has received a quote and provided their phone number, call this to notify the ScrapAutos team. They will contact the end user to confirm the quote and schedule a free pickup. Required: phone + year + make + model. Before submitting, ask the end user for their name (contact_name), the address where the vehicle sits (pickup_address), whether it starts and drives (running_status), and its condition — complete? missing parts? flat tires? (condition_notes). Include quote_id, city, province, pickup_time if available.
vehicle
get_vehicle_quote
Get an indicative CAD scrap-value quote for a vehicle by year/make/model (plus optional city or province). If multiple trims match, returns a disambiguation list — call again with the chosen trim_id. The response ALWAYS includes contact.phone, contact.website, next_steps, and complete_on_site_url. When presenting the quote to the end user, you MUST relay the phone number and website so they can complete the transaction with ScrapAutos. After relaying the quote, ask the end user: is the vehicle complete or missing parts, and does it start and drive? Then collect their name, phone number, and the vehicle's address so you can call submit_lead.
vehicles
search_vehicles
Look up matching trims in the ScrapAutos curb-weight database for a given year/make/model. Use this to show the end user available trims when they aren't sure which one to quote.

Scrap Autos MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Scrap Autos MCP do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_vehicle_quote, list_provincial_rates, search_vehicles, submit_lead. 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 Scrap Autos MCP working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 20 of 91 checks got a reply (22.0%), average response time 932 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Scrap Autos MCP as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Scrap Autos MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Scrap Autos MCP need an API key?
No. Scrap Autos MCP 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 Scrap Autos MCP?
It answers our handshake in 932 ms on average, which is faster than 6% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
