Use DealerPricing from your AI assistant

The DealerPricing MCP server connects Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other AI assistants to your account. Ask for a trade valuation, comparables, MOT history, the manufacturer's service record or a vehicle history check by registration, in plain English, and the assistant uses the same tools and the same allowances as the dashboard.

Included with Pro 100 and Pro 200. Searches come off your monthly allowance exactly as they do on the dashboard; the only paid tool asks before charging.

Connect in two minutes

Everything starts with a token from Profile → AI assistants (Pro plans). It is shown once as a private connector URL of the form https://www.dealerpricing.co.uk/api/mcp/dp_mcp_YOUR_TOKEN, which Claude and ChatGPT accept without any sign-in step. Treat it like a password.

Claude (Desktop and claude.ai)

Uses the Connectors screen. No config file, no OAuth: the connector URL carries your token.

Create a token in Profile → AI assistants and copy the connector URL it shows.
In Claude, open Settings → Connectors (Desktop: click your initials at the bottom left; claude.ai: profile menu → Settings).
Click Add custom connector. Name it DealerPricing, paste the connector URL into the URL box and leave the OAuth fields under Advanced empty.
Click Add. It shows as connected immediately.
In a new chat, open the + / Connectors menu, switch DealerPricing on, and ask: "What should I bid for AB12 CDE at 48,000 miles?"

ChatGPT

Needs a ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise plan with Developer mode switched on.

Create a token in Profile → AI assistants and copy the connector URL it shows.
In ChatGPT, open Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings and turn on Developer mode.
Back in Connectors, click Create. Name: DealerPricing. Description: UK vehicle valuations, comparables, MOT and service history by registration.
Paste the connector URL into MCP server URL, set Authentication to No authentication, tick the trust box and click Create.
In a new chat, click + → More → Developer mode, enable DealerPricing, and ask: "Value AB12 CDE at 48,000 miles and show the five nearest comparables."

Claude Code

One command in your terminal, using the bearer-header form of the endpoint.

Run the command below, then ask for a registration in a Claude Code session.

claude mcp add --transport http dealerpricing https://www.dealerpricing.co.uk/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer dp_mcp_YOUR_TOKEN"

Cursor, Windsurf and other clients

Any client with the Streamable HTTP transport. Use the connector URL with no authentication, or the plain endpoint with a bearer header.

Open the client's MCP settings, add a server and paste the configuration below.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dealerpricing": {
      "url": "https://www.dealerpricing.co.uk/api/mcp/dp_mcp_YOUR_TOKEN"
    }
  }
}

Tools and what they cost

Every tool tells the assistant its cost, and every result carries your remaining searches. "One search" means one search from your monthly allowance; a registration you have already searched this billing period is never charged again.

Tool	What it returns	Cost
search_vehicle	Decode a registration or VIN: valuation bands, tax and MOT status, market insights and the first comparable listings.	One search (free if the registration was searched this billing period)
get_comparables	Up to 100 live comparable listings with price, mileage, dealer, days listed and distance.	Free for a registration already searched; otherwise one search
get_mot_history	Every MOT test with result, mileage, expiry, advisories and failures.	Free
get_vehicle_spec	Factory-fitted options and specification.	Free for a registration already searched; otherwise one search
get_dp_retail_valuation	DP Retail valuation at a given mileage with confidence.	Free for a registration already searched; otherwise one search
get_service_history	Manufacturer digital service records; instant when a result from the last 14 days exists, otherwise a request id to poll.	Included with Pro; one search per vehicle; 20 new requests a day
get_service_history_status	Poll a service history request.	Free
check_vehicle_history	Stolen, finance, write-off, scrapped, import/export, mileage, keeper, plate and colour markers with MOT history. Quotes first; runs only after you confirm.	£2.50 from your balance; a report from the last six months is free
list_my_stock	Your own live listings, as the My Stock page shows them.	Free
get_recent_searches	Your recent registration searches.	Free
get_account_usage	Plan, searches used and remaining, balance and limits.	Free

Things to ask

"What should I bid for KX68 TRV at 61,000 miles? Show the trade bands and days to sell."
"Appraise this part-exchange: LL71 ZHP, 24,000 miles. Include MOT advisories and the service record."
"Which of my stock has been listed longest and is priced above the comparables?"
"Run a vehicle history check on AK67 GVC." The assistant quotes £2.50 and waits for your yes.

Limits and safety

Tokens are stored hashed, shown once, revocable instantly, and limited to five active per account. Read-only tokens can never spend your balance.
Per token: 30 calls a minute and 500 a day; paid checks 60 a day. Service history: 20 new requests a day.
Every call is logged against the token so you can see what an assistant did and when.
Data returned never includes our data providers' names or bookkeeping fields, and listing text is passed to the assistant as plain data.

Building software rather than using an assistant? The Developer API offers the same data with per-call billing; MCP access with API keys follows in a later release.

How to connect an AI assistant to DealerPricing

Create a token, add the DealerPricing MCP server to your assistant, and ask for valuations, comparables and checks by registration.

1
Create a token
Go to Profile → AI assistants, name the token after the assistant you will use, choose full or read-only access, and copy the token — it is shown once.
2
Add the server to your assistant
Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste the connector URL. ChatGPT: turn on Developer mode, then Connectors → Create with the connector URL and no authentication. Other clients take the URL or the bearer-header form.
3
Ask a question
For example: "What should I bid for AB12 CDE at 48,000 miles?" The assistant calls search_vehicle and answers with the trade bands, comparables and your remaining searches.
4
Confirm before paid checks
A vehicle history check costs £2.50 from your balance. The assistant shows the price and balance first and only runs the check when you say yes.

DealerPricing MCP — questions answered

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard AI assistants use to call external tools. The DealerPricing MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients use your DealerPricing account: you ask in plain English and the assistant calls the same valuation, comparables, MOT, service history and vehicle history tools the dashboard uses.
