Autoza MCP Server

The Autoza MCP server is a free remote Model Context Protocol server for the UK used-car market. Point any MCP client at one URL — nothing to install, no API key. It exposes six tools: calculate UK vehicle tax (VED), check ULEZ and Clean Air Zone charges, work out MOT dates, look up real DVSA reliability data for a model, search live verified-dealer stock, and get current asking-price guidance. All figures are UK-specific — prices in GBP, distances in miles. Data is licensed CC BY 4.0.

Tools

  • calculate_car_tax
    Annual UK vehicle tax (VED) for any car — all three systems (pre-2001 engine size, 2001–2017 CO2 bands, post-2017 flat rate) plus the Expensive Car Supplement.
  • check_clean_air_zone
    ULEZ and Clean Air Zone compliance from registration year and fuel, with the daily charge per zone and the estimated annual cost.
  • check_mot_due_date
    When a car’s MOT falls due, and the earliest it can be tested without losing the renewal date.
  • get_model_reliability
    Common faults, best and worst years, and real DVSA first-time MOT pass rates age-matched against the national average.
  • search_used_cars
    Live verified-dealer stock — filterable by make, model, year, price, fuel, body type and location. Prices GBP, mileage in miles.
  • get_uk_price_guide
    Typical, lowest and highest current asking prices from live listings, optionally narrowed to a make or model.

Install

The server is remote and stateless, with no authentication. It reads public data on autoza.co.uk. No keys, no telemetry, no server-side secrets.

Why this exists

Autoza is built on the long-term thesis that vehicle commerce becomes agent-to-agent: a buyer's AI queries marketplaces, contacts seller agents, and negotiates and closes deals autonomously. This MCP server is the public, agent-callable face of that thesis.

The same data is also published as a live JSON API at /api/public/market-stats, as a Hugging Face dataset, and on Zenodo with a permanent DOI. The MCP server is the agent-native form.
