Overview

Look up vehicles by Danish/EU license plate and connect live telematics via Smartcar.

Prerequisites

  • A stackgate.ai account
  • For live telematics: a supported vehicle (VW, Tesla, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, BMW) enrolled with the OEM connected services

Getting credentials

Registry lookup (license plate)

  1. Open Integrations → Cars.
  2. Click Activate.
  3. Enter your license plate to preview registry data (make, model, VIN, MOT).
  4. Confirm to save the vehicle to your account.

Smartcar live telematics (optional)

  1. After saving a vehicle, click Connect Smartcar.
  2. Complete OEM enrollment (e.g. VW We Connect) if not already active.
  3. Authorize Smartcar when redirected — stackgate.ai stores the Smartcar user ID.

Registry lookup uses MotorAPI during onboarding only; MCP tools read your saved vehicle.

Using with AI clients

  • Dedicated endpoint: POST /mcp/cars
  • Private gateway: cars__* tools

Troubleshooting

  • Vehicle not configured for online services — enroll the car with the manufacturer app before Smartcar connect.
  • VIN mismatch — ensure the saved plate matches the Smartcar-connected vehicle.
  • No live data — Smartcar requires OEM account + consent; registry data still works without Smartcar.

Available tools

  • get_my_vehicle

    Return the vehicle saved under My Integrations → Cars (make, model, VIN, MOT, etc.). Does not call the registry API.

  • get_my_vehicle_with_live_data

    Return the saved vehicle from My Integrations and enrich with live Smartcar data when the VIN matches a connected vehicle. Does not call the registry API.

  • list_connected_vehicles

    List vehicles connected to Smartcar for the authenticated user (Volkswagen, Tesla, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and others).

  • get_connected_vehicle

    Get Smartcar vehicle attributes and VIN for a connected vehicle by vehicle_id.

  • get_vehicle_status

    Get live vehicle status from Smartcar: odometer, location, battery, fuel/charge, and lock status. Pass vehicle_id or plate+country to match via registry VIN.
