Install Car Helper Tools: Car Recalls, MOT, Car Specs & EU VAT in Claude Code

What you need first

• Claude Code, installed.
• Nothing else: the server runs on its publisher's machines and Claude Code connects to it.

Steps

1. Run this in a terminal, in the project folder. It adds the server for you in that project; put --scope user after claude mcp add to have it in every project.

claude mcp add --transport http car-helper-tools 'https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=jyaussie/vehicle-year-risk-comparator,jyaussie/eu-vehicle-recall-monitor,jyaussie/uk-mot-failure-stats,jyaussie/cyprus-company-vat-check,jyaussie/eu-car-specs-co2'

2. Start Claude Code and type /mcp: the server is listed with its state.

Check it worked

Ask Claude Code: List the tools of car-helper-tools.

If it does not start

401 Unauthorized

The endpoint wants a sign-in or a key. Sign in when Claude Code asks.
