## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 74/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Nothing on it is marked destructive, but we can't show that an anonymous caller can only read: full credit needs the server to list at least one tool and every tool to be verifiably read-only. We use a best-effort check of tool names and descriptions to tell read-only tools from tools that change things, so some genuinely read-only tools may not get full credit. Names that start with a read verb (get, list, read, search and similar) and accurate readOnlyHint annotations help. Meet that to earn full credit, or require authorisation.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 56/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1489 tokens (~212/item across 7 items; 7 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 17/100
  - Stability observed for 5 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 86/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 59% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 7 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 8 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (7)

### `create_listing` (~470 tokens)

Create a private car listing

Create a car-for-sale listing for a PRIVATE seller on AutoPrivado, only on behalf of and with the consent of the car's owner. Decodes the VIN (NHTSA vPIC) or Dutch plate (RDW), gives a rule-based price estimate, writes the listing in EN/DE/IT/ES/FR/NL/PL and a missing-info checklist. The listing page goes live on autoprivado.com; returns its URL and a secret edit URL (give the edit URL only to the seller). AutoPrivado never posts to portals: the seller publishes on each portal himself with the posting kit (kitUrl). Limited per client and per day (free service).

Input parameters:

- `accidentFree` (boolean)
- `alsoIn` (array): Optional: also sell in these other markets. Posting kits are written in each market's language and the car appears in searches there.
- `altPrice` (integer): Optional second price for markets in the other currency (PLN for PL when the seller uses EUR, EUR when the seller is in PL). Never converted; without it those kits show no price.
- `city` (string)
- `colour` (string)
- `condition` (string)
- `contact` (string): Public contact shown on the listing (optional; it is public)
- `country` (string, required): Country where the car is sold

- `notes` (string): Seller's own words (kept in the original language)
- `owners` (integer)

### `get_listing` (~95 tokens)

- `lang` (string): Optional: language of the returned page URL

### `search_listings` (~196 tokens)

Search AutoPrivado listings

Search active private-seller car listings on AutoPrivado. Filters: free text (make/model), make, model, market country, price range with currency, max km, min year, fuel. A country search also returns cars cross-listed into that market (crossListed, marketPrice, marketCurrency); price filters use that market's currency (PLN in PL, EUR elsewhere). Results may be up to a minute old.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string): Market (country of sale)

### `decode_vehicle` (~109 tokens)

Decode a VIN or Dutch plate

Decode a 17-character VIN (NHTSA vPIC, works best for cars sold in the US and many EU makes) or a Dutch licence plate (RDW open data: make, model, first registration, fuel, power, APK date). Returns the vehicle data AutoPrivado would use. Nothing is stored.

Input parameters:

- `country` (string): Plate country (NL only)
- `plate` (string): Dutch plate, e.g. HLZ85B
- `vin` (string)

### `estimate_price` (~313 tokens)

Estimate a used-car price

Rule-based price range (low/mid/high) for a used car from its VIN or Dutch plate (or make/model/year), mileage and condition – the same estimate as the website. Price when new, in this order: newPrice, the RDW list price of a Dutch plate, the typical new price of the make + model + year from RDW open data (about 500 listed models; vehicle.make and vehicle.model are matched by name), else a car class (small, compact, family, suv, premium). Not a valuation; it explains every step and the typical dealer gap. In EUR; with country PL the result is in PLN (EUR sources converted at the ECB reference rate, class bands in PLN). Nothing is stored.

Input parameters:

- `carClass` (string): Optional car class when the model is not listed and the price when new is unknown: small, compact, family, suv or premium

- `country` (string, required)
- `lang` (string): Language of the checklist texts (default en)
- `listingId` (string): Optional: prefill the contract with this listing

## Common questions

### What is the AutoPrivado MCP server?

AutoPrivado is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.autoprivado/autoprivado. Private car sales in Europe: search listings, price estimate from VIN, portals, contracts. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://autoprivado.com/mcp).

### Is the AutoPrivado MCP server safe to use?

AutoPrivado scores 69 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the AutoPrivado MCP server expose?

AutoPrivado exposes 7 tools: create_listing, get_listing, search_listings, decode_vehicle, estimate_price, and 2 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,382 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the AutoPrivado MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to AutoPrivado without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the AutoPrivado MCP server still maintained?

AutoPrivado is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the AutoPrivado MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 13 checks on AutoPrivado, covering TLS certificate, Authorization, HTTPS, HSTS header and 9 more. Supply Chain Security and Provenance & Transparency do not apply to a hosted endpoint, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
