Available components
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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security74
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability84
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 278 tokens (~139/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 2 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the io.github.pratikmehkarkar/vin-recall-mcp server?
io.github.pratikmehkarkar/vin-recall-mcp is a hosted endpoint at https://vin-recall-mcp.zenithserver.duckdns.org/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.

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 →
check_recalls Check Vehicle Recalls ~148
List open safety recall campaigns for a vehicle by VIN, using the NHTSA Recalls database. Decodes the VIN internally to get make/model/year, then looks up campaigns for that vehicle configuration. Important: results are recall campaigns issued for the make/model/year configuration — this does NOT confirm whether this specific VIN's vehicle was actually repaired at a dealer. Always describe results as 'open recall campaigns for this vehicle,' never as whether the car 'is' or 'isn't' fixed.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| vin | string | yes | A 17-character US vehicle VIN (letters and digits, excluding I, O, and Q). The VIN is decoded internally to determine make/model/year for the recall lookup. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

| checked | boolean | yes | – |

decode_vin Decode VIN ~130
Decode a 17-character US vehicle VIN into make, model, year, body class, engine cylinders, fuel type, drive type, and assembly plant country, using the NHTSA vPIC database. Covers US-market vehicles built from 1981 onward (the 17-character VIN standard); pre-1981 and some foreign-market vehicles may return partial or no data. Decoded fields are manufacturer-submitted and individual fields may be missing even for a successfully decoded VIN.

io.github.pratikmehkarkar/vin-recall-mcp exposes 2 tools: decode_vin, check_recalls. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 278 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the io.github.pratikmehkarkar/vin-recall-mcp server require authentication?
No. We connected to io.github.pratikmehkarkar/vin-recall-mcp without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the io.github.pratikmehkarkar/vin-recall-mcp server still maintained?
io.github.pratikmehkarkar/vin-recall-mcp is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 21 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
