Nothing serious here today

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

Available tools 6

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

compare

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.

decode

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.

lookup

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 complaints mention it, and on which model years.

recalls

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 whether one specific vehicle is affected — only a VIN check at nhtsa.gov/recalls can.

vehicle

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 its record names.

vehicles

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.

WhichTrim vehicle records — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can WhichTrim vehicle records do?

It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_recalls, compare_vehicles, decode_vin, get_vehicle, lookup_trouble_code, search_vehicles. 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 WhichTrim vehicle records 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 701 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect WhichTrim vehicle records?

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 WhichTrim vehicle records need an API key?

No. WhichTrim vehicle records completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is WhichTrim vehicle records?

It answers our handshake in 701 ms on average, which is faster than 17% 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.
