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-tool

    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-tool

    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-tool

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

  • get-connected-vehicle-tool

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

  • get-vehicle-status-tool

    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.
