Cardog MCP server — FAQ

Common questions about connecting and running Cardog.

  • What data does the Cardog MCP server provide?

    The server provides vehicle listings with filtering, market analysis (pricing trends, regional variations, mileage correlations), VIN decoding and analysis, US/Canada safety recalls, and EV/gas station locations. It aggregates automotive market data for research and valuation use cases.

  • How do I get an API key?

    Sign up at cardog.app/account/api to generate an API key. You can then pass it via query parameter, Authorization Bearer header, or x-api-key header when connecting to the MCP server.

  • Is there a cost to use this server?

    The README does not document pricing or free tier limits. Visit cardog.app/account/api or contact support@cardog.app for pricing details.

  • What's the difference between this and other vehicle data APIs?

    The README does not compare Cardog to alternatives. However, Cardog uniquely combines listings, market analysis, recalls, and EV charging data in a single MCP interface designed for AI applications.

  • Can I use this with Claude Web or just Claude Desktop?

    You can use it with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Claude Web, and Claude Mobile. Each platform has slightly different setup steps documented in the Quick Start section.
