Install

How do I install the io.github.trustcarinfo/plate-lookup MCP server?

io.github.trustcarinfo/plate-lookup is a hosted endpoint at https://trustcar.info/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 · 3 exposed · ~200 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 →

Common questions

What is the io.github.trustcarinfo/plate-lookup MCP server?

io.github.trustcarinfo/plate-lookup is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.trustcarinfo/plate-lookup. Ukrainian license-plate and vehicle lookups: registry data, photos and reviews (trustcar.info). This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://trustcar.info/mcp).

Is the io.github.trustcarinfo/plate-lookup MCP server safe to use?

io.github.trustcarinfo/plate-lookup scores 65 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 io.github.trustcarinfo/plate-lookup MCP server expose?

io.github.trustcarinfo/plate-lookup exposes 3 tools: lookup_plate, recent_plates, post_review. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 200 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the io.github.trustcarinfo/plate-lookup MCP server require authentication?

Its publisher declares no required credentials for io.github.trustcarinfo/plate-lookup. We have not been able to confirm that against the live endpoint, and a server can require authorisation without declaring it here.

Is the io.github.trustcarinfo/plate-lookup MCP server still maintained?

io.github.trustcarinfo/plate-lookup is still listed in the MCP registry, but we have not been able to reach this channel for several days and its score is decaying. We last reached this channel on 23 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
