## 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 2026-10-24.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - 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**: 79/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 3456 tokens (~230/item across 15 items; 13 tools + 2 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**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 13 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 15 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 (13)

### `search_vehicles` (~400 tokens)

Search exotic rental cars

Find exotic and luxury rental cars listed by independent US rental companies, with each car's published daily rate, the company renting it and the carrentallist.com page to cite. Use this when someone asks who rents a specific car (make, model or family such as Huracán, G63, Cullinan), what cars are available in a state or city, or what a car costs per day. Prices are the rates the company publishes; daily_price null means the company does not publish one (say "contact for price", never estimate). Unknown cities or makes return an empty page with did_you_mean: retry with one of those, or call browse_locations / browse_makes.

Input parameters:

- `city` (string): city name as people say it (Miami, LA, Vegas, NYC)
- `class` (string): suv, supercar, ultra (Rolls-Royce/Bentley/Maybach) or sports

List the US states that have exotic car rental listings, or the cities of one state, with the number of cars and companies and the lowest published daily rate in each. Use this when someone asks where they can rent exotic cars, which cities have the most supercars, or when you are unsure how the catalog spells a city before calling search_vehicles. Without state: states only. With an unknown state: an empty list with did_you_mean. Places without a page of their own link the state page.

Input parameters:

Browse makes and model families

List the car makes in the exotic rental catalog (nationwide, or in a state or city) with how many cars and companies offer each and the lowest published daily rate; with make, list that make's model families (Huracán, Urus, Aventador…). Use this when someone asks which brands or models they can rent somewhere, or to check how the catalog spells a make or model before calling search_vehicles. Unknown makes, states or cities return an empty list with did_you_mean.

Input parameters:

- `city` (string): city name as people say it (Miami, LA, Vegas, NYC)
- `make` (string): a make to list its model families; omit to list the makes
- `state` (string): US state: two-letter code, name or slug (FL, Florida, new-york)

### `vehicle_availability` (~228 tokens)

Where to rent a model

Find where in the US one car model can be rented from independent exotic rental companies: the states and cities that list it, how many cars and companies, the lowest published daily rate in each, and the cheapest priced car. Use this when someone asks where they can rent a specific model (a Ford GT, a Carrera GT, an SF90, a Huracán), or which city has the most of one model. The model is matched as the site's model families (G63, G 63 AMG and G-Wagon are one). Unknown models return an empty result with did_you_mean; a model name shared by several makes picks the most listed one and lists the others in other_makes. min_price null = no published rate (contact the company), never estimated.

Input parameters:

- `make` (string): the make, when the model alone is ambiguous
- `model` (string, required): the model or family, optionally with the make: 'Huracan', 'Ford GT', 'SF90', 'G-Wagon', 'Carrera GT'

Output parameters:

- `as_of` (string|null): date (YYYY-MM-DD) of the catalog's last content change

- `display_name` (string|null)
- `family` (string|null)
- `make` (string|null)

- `other_makes` (array): other makes with a model of that name, when the make was not given
- `provenance` (string)
- `states` (array)
- `url` (string|null): the family page on carrentallist.com

### `search_companies` (~475 tokens)

Search rental companies

Find independent exotic car rental companies by state or city, make they rent, specialization tag, review rating, verified ownership and published rental terms: minimum renter age, delivery, unlimited mileage and deposit. Use this when someone asks which companies will rent to them ("I'm 23, who rents to me in Las Vegas with delivery?"), which companies rent a make somewhere, or who the best-rated companies in a city are. Terms filters only keep companies that publish that term; companies left out for not publishing it are counted in excluded_terms_not_published (tell the user to ask them). sort=rank is the site's own order. Unknown places, makes or tags return an empty result with did_you_mean. Use get_company for one company's full details.

Input parameters:

- `city` (string): city name as people say it (Miami, LA, Vegas, NYC)
- `claimed_only` (boolean): only companies whose owner verified the listing
- `cursor` (string): next_cursor of the previous page
- `delivery` (string): yes = delivery available (no fee mentioned); fee = delivery available, a fee is fine (yes or for a fee)
- `limit` (integer): page size, 1-50 (default 10)
- `make` (string): only companies that rent this make (in the place, when one is given)
- `max_deposit` (integer): USD: only companies whose lowest published deposit is at most this
- `max_min_age` (integer): the renter's age: only companies whose published minimum age is at most this (a 23-year-old passes 23)
- `min_rating` (number): lowest review rating (0-5); unrated companies are left out when set
- `sort` (string): rank (default: the site's own order, listing tier then cars in the place), rating, fleet (most cars in the place) or name
- `specialization` (string): a specialization tag the company lists, e.g. Exotic, Luxury, Chauffeur Service, Lamborghini (case-insensitive, exact tag)
- `state` (string): US state: two-letter code, name or slug (FL, Florida, new-york)
- `unlimited_miles` (boolean): true = only unlimited mileage; false = only companies with a daily mileage limit

Output parameters:

- `as_of` (string|null): date (YYYY-MM-DD) of the catalog's last content change
- `did_you_mean` (array)
- `excluded_terms_not_published` (integer): companies that matched everything else but were left out because a terms filter asked for a term they do not publish
- `items` (array)
- `next_cursor` (string|null)
- `note` (string)
- `provenance` (string)
- `resolved` (object)
- `total` (integer)

### `price_overview` (~283 tokens)

Daily rate overview

Summarize the published daily rental rates of exotic cars for a make, model family, state, city or class: how many cars, how many publish a rate, minimum, quartiles, median and maximum, a split by state, and the cheapest and priciest cars with links. Use this when someone asks what a fair daily rate is ("what does a 911 Turbo S cost per day in California?"), how prices compare between states, or what the cheapest way to rent a class of car is. Figures are computed live over cars with a published daily rate only (never estimated); a scope without one returns null figures and says so. floor_note explains the rate floors so a rate near one is not mistaken for a bargain. Unknown inputs return did_you_mean.

Input parameters:

- `city` (string): city name as people say it (Miami, LA, Vegas, NYC)
- `class` (string): suv, supercar, ultra (Rolls-Royce/Bentley/Maybach) or sports
- `make` (string): car make (Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, Mercedes)
- `model` (string): model or family (911, Huracan, G-Wagon); may include the make
- `state` (string): US state: two-letter code, name or slug (FL, Florida, new-york)

Output parameters:

- `by_state` (array)
- `cars` (integer): listed cars in the scope
- `cheapest` (array)
- `did_you_mean` (array)
- `floor_note` (string)
- `max`
- `median`
- `min`

- `priciest` (array)
- `provenance` (string)
- `scope` (object)

### `catalog_highlights` (~338 tokens)

Catalog highlights

Show what is interesting in the exotic rental catalog right now, nationwide or in a state or city: cars newly listed in the last 30 days, recent daily price drops or rises (old and new price, date), the rarest model families (offered by at most two companies in the US), the most expensive cars, the biggest fleets and the most reviewed companies. Use this when someone asks "what's new", "what got cheaper", "what's the rarest car I can rent" or "who has the biggest fleet in Miami" questions, and for news-style summaries. Only published daily rates are used. A price change pairs a car's two latest rates, both recorded in the last 30 days, and counts only when both are plausible daily rates and the new one is still live. New arrivals leave out cars re-listed by a rescrape and bulk imports. Unknown places return did_you_mean.

Input parameters:

- `city` (string): city name as people say it (Miami, LA, Vegas, NYC)
- `kind` (string, required): new_arrivals (cars first seen in the last 30 days, re-listings and bulk imports left out), price_drops / price_rises (daily rate changes in the last 30 days), rarest (model families offered by at mos…

Get CarRentalList's monthly ranking of the best independent exotic car rental companies in the US: the top 10 with composite scores and highlights, the category champions (largest fleet, highest rated, best in Miami/LA/Vegas, best for Lamborghini or Rolls-Royce) and market stats. Use this when someone asks who the best, top-rated or biggest exotic rental companies are, or about a past month's ranking.

Use this when someone asks for news about a car, a make or an event (Monterey Car Week, a new Ferrari), or what is new in the exotic car world; then call get_news_article with a slug for the full text.

### `search` (~153 tokens)

Search CarRentalList

Search the whole CarRentalList catalog with one query: rental companies, car model families (Lamborghini Huracán, Rolls-Royce Cullinan…), cities and news articles. Returns ids to pass to fetch, with titles and carrentallist.com urls. Use this when a client only offers search and fetch (ChatGPT connectors, deep research), or to find an entity by name before fetching it. For filtered car lists (price, state, class) search_vehicles is better. No match returns an empty results list.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string, required): what to look for: a company, a car (make/model), a city, or a news topic ('Lamborghini Huracan Miami', 'Diamond Exotic Rentals')

Output parameters:

- `as_of` (string|null): date (YYYY-MM-DD) of the catalog's last content change
- `provenance` (string)
- `results` (array)

### `fetch` (~150 tokens)

Fetch a CarRentalList document

Fetch the full document for an id returned by search: a rental company (contact, terms, fleet with daily rates), a model family (price summary over every listed car, plus up to 50 of the cars with prices and companies), a city (makes available there and up to 30 cars; metadata.truncated says when more are listed) or a news article. Use this when you have an id from search and need the details of that one result; cite its url. Pass the id unchanged; an unknown id returns an error.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): an id from search results: company:<slug>, family:<make>/<family>, city:<city>-<st> or news:<slug>

Output parameters:

- `as_of` (string|null): date (YYYY-MM-DD) of the catalog's last content change

### Does the CarRentalList MCP server require authentication?

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

### Is the CarRentalList MCP server still maintained?

CarRentalList is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 24 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
