Install

How do I install the global.rootz.cars/marketplace MCP server?

global.rootz.cars/marketplace is a hosted endpoint at https://cars.rootz.global/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 19 exposed · ~2,694 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

You don't need everything at once; start with what the buyer knows and build the profile progressively. The dealer will make the trade-in offer based on this info. Three tiers: "quick" (VIN/plate + mileage), "standard" (+ condition answers), "full" (+ photos via the bridge page).

cars_session_visit ~212

Schedule a dealer visit (test drive, purchase, trade-in appraisal). Generates a visit code and QR code the buyer shows at the dealership. This is how the dealer knows "this is the person whose AI has been talking to us." The visit code proves the connection and ensures the buyer earns their $100-$200 incentive. Only use when the buyer explicitly says they want to visit the dealer.

NameTypeReqDescription
