OldCarsData provides structured historical vehicle data for researching classic and vintage automobiles. Look up makes, models, production years, specifications, and related vehicle records to compare older cars and support automotive research and valuation.
Claude Code is Anthropic's coding agent for the terminal. You add MCP servers with one command and approve access in the browser.
This guide connects OldCarsData MCP to Claude Code through MewCP, so Claude Code can use OldCarsData MCP's 8 tools, like get_auction_bids, get_price_stats and list_auction_bids, without your OldCarsData MCP credentials ever reaching the app.
OldCarsData MCP signs in through managed OAuth. MewCP stores the token encrypted, refreshes it before it expires and injects it only at call time. Your agent never holds it, so it can never leak it.

Other clients
OldCarsData MCP works the same way in every client below. Pick yours for its own guide.
Free to start.
Scope access to the exact OldCarsData MCP tools and accounts you allow, work and personal side by side. Anything outside that scope is refused at call time, even when the model asks for it.
Each call is logged: what ran, on which account, and whether it worked. Failures come back structured, so the agent knows whether to retry instead of guessing.
Every app sits behind one secure MCP URL, and there is no server for you to deploy or keep running. Add an integration in the dashboard and it is live on the next call, with no config to change and no new credentials to wire up. Tools load only when a task needs them, so your agent stays fast and focused however many apps you connect.
Start Claude Code, run /mcp, pick the server and choose Authenticate. Approve access in the browser.
Start a new chat and ask: "List the tools you can use from MewCP." You should see your connected apps.

Returns listings with source-reported sale results, auction status, vehicle specs including mileage and mileage_unit when known, condition details, modifications, known flaws, and source URLs. Buyer-premium treatment is not normalized, so use the source URL when that distinction matters. All filters are optional; narrow by make/model, exact VIN, seller_username, keyword, year, price, status, or source as needed. For sequential result sets, use pagination=cursor and pass each next_cursor to the following request; this avoids exact counts and deep offsets.
