Use motstat with AI

Ask Claude or ChatGPT about a used car and it checks motstat for you.

Any other agent

Hermes, OpenClaw and others: send it this and it connects itself.

Connect the motstat MCP server: add a server named motstat with URL https://mcp.motstat.co.uk/mcp (remote HTTP, no sign-in) to your MCP config, reload, then tell me which tools you can see.

Free. No account or sign‑in.

Then ask

“Which Toyota Corolla years and engines are the most reliable?”

“Check the MOT history for AB12 CDE. What should I look out for?”

Other apps and step-by-step

On claude.ai or in the Claude app, go to Customize > Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
Name it motstat and paste the server address.
Choose Add, then ask about a used car.

ChatGPT

On chatgpt.com, open Plugins, choose + and add a custom MCP server. On some plans you first turn on Developer mode in Settings.

What it can look up

Search makes and models
Reliability of a make, with its models ranked
Reliability of a model by year, fuel and engine, with weak spots
A car’s MOT history by number plate, with warnings such as mileage going down

Grades come from real MOT results, compared with a typical car of the same age and mileage: what the grades mean.
