Read-only by design
The server can list and summarize. It cannot add a vehicle, edit an expense, or close a sale.
Live for Dealer Pro
Ask ChatGPT about your lot.Your dealership, in any agent.
Car Dealer Tracker now ships a production MCP server. Connect ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, or Claude Code with one URL. The assistant reads inventory, profit, expenses, sales, debts, and cash — and cannot change a single record.
MCP
Built for dealers who already live in chat.
The same numbers you trust in the app — inventory age, true profit, cash, debts — answered in the assistant you already use.
Your dealership only
Sign in with the Car Dealer Tracker account. Tokens are bound to your user and organization.
One-tap disconnect
Every connection appears in Account → AI Integrations. Revoke it there and the assistant loses access.
Pro-gated
AI connections are part of Dealer Pro. Upgrade in the app or on the pricing page, then connect.
Install in minutes
Add Car Dealer Tracker to the agent you already use.
Same URL everywhere. After you add it, the assistant opens a Car Dealer Tracker sign-in page. Use the email and password from the app, then tap Allow.

https://mcp.cardealertracker.app/mcpWhat the agent can see
Seven read-only tools. No writes.
Every answer is fetched live from your dealership. If a permission in the app hides cost or profit from a team role, the MCP respects the same rules.
get_inventory_summaryCounts by status, capital in stock, average and longest days held, and 90-day sell-through.
list_vehiclesSearch the lot by make, model, VIN, stock number, or status. Newest first.
get_profit_summaryRevenue, profit, and expenses for last 30/90/180 days, this month, this year, or a custom range.
list_salesRecent vehicle sales with amount, profit (if permitted), and the vehicle name.
list_expensesRecon and overhead spend, newest first, filterable by category and date.
list_debtsPayables and receivables with remaining balance, due dates, and overdue flags.
get_accounts_overviewCash and financial account balances grouped by account type.
Ready prompts
Copy a prompt. Paste it into the connected chat.
These prompts tell the agent which tools to call and how to answer — like an experienced used-car dealer, not a generic chatbot.
Morning
Lot briefing
Open the day with stock, aging, and cash in one answer.
You are connected to Car Dealer Tracker over MCP. Do not guess numbers.
Give me this morning's dealership briefing:
1. Call get_inventory_summary. Report units in stock, capital invested, average days in stock, and the longest hold.
2. Call list_vehicles with status owned (or available/on_sale if that is how my lot is tagged) limited to 20. Flag anything over 40 days.
3. Call get_accounts_overview and list_debts with unpaid_only true. Note overdue items.
4. Answer in a tight dealer briefing: what needs a price cut, what is healthy, and what cash pressure exists today.Inventory
Aging stock doctor
Find cars that are tying up money and what to do with them.
Using Car Dealer Tracker MCP tools only:
Call get_inventory_summary, then list_vehicles with a high limit.
Identify the slowest units (longest days in stock / held). For each, state make, model, year if present, days held, and a recommended action: keep, cut price, wholesale, or recon-check.
Do not invent asking prices. If a field is missing, say so. End with the three cars that most need a decision this week.Profit
This month's real P&L
Revenue, profit, and expenses — not a sale-price story.
Using Car Dealer Tracker MCP:
Call get_profit_summary for this_month and last_30_days.
Call list_sales for this month and list_expenses for this month.
Summarize: revenue, expenses, profit, number of deals, and average profit per deal if the data allows.
Call out the best and worst deals by profit. If profit is hidden by my role, say that instead of estimating.Cash
Cash, debts, overdue
What we owe, what we are owed, and what is late.
Using Car Dealer Tracker MCP:
Call get_accounts_overview and list_debts with unpaid_only true.
Split money we owe vs money owed to us. Flag overdue items with due dates.
Tell me the cash picture in plain dealer language: can I buy another car this week, or should I collect first?Expenses
Expense leak hunt
Where recon and overhead are eating margin.
Using Car Dealer Tracker MCP:
Call list_expenses for last_30_days (use from/to as YYYY-MM-DD for the last 30 days) with a high limit, and get_profit_summary for last_30_days.
Group spend by category. Point at the three categories that moved the most money.
If a vehicle is attached to a large expense, name it. Suggest one cost to question this week. Do not invent receipts.Sales
What to push today
A shortlist for the sales floor.
Using Car Dealer Tracker MCP:
Call get_inventory_summary and list_vehicles for on_sale and owned/available stock.
Build a sales-floor list of 5 vehicles to push today. Prefer aging units and anything that has been sitting.
For each: why this one, who it might fit (body style / likely buyer if the record supports it), and one talking point from the record.
If data is thin, say so. Do not invent buyers or prices.Sales
Sales velocity
How fast we are turning cars right now.
Using Car Dealer Tracker MCP:
Call get_inventory_summary and list_sales for last_90_days with a high limit.
Report units sold, average days-to-sell if present, and whether the last 30 days looks faster or slower than the 90-day picture.
Name the last five sales. Keep it numeric and honest.Owner
Weekly owner report
One page an owner can read on Sunday night.
Using Car Dealer Tracker MCP, write a one-page weekly owner report.
Call get_inventory_summary, get_profit_summary for last_30_days, list_sales (last 14 days), list_expenses (last 14 days), get_accounts_overview, and list_debts unpaid_only.
Structure:
- Stock: units, capital, aging risk
- Profit: last 30 days
- Cash & debts
- Three decisions for next week
No filler. If a tool errors, report the error instead of filling gaps.Lookup
One vehicle, full story
Paste a VIN, stock number, or “BMW 320”.
Using Car Dealer Tracker MCP, look up this vehicle: [PASTE VIN, STOCK NUMBER, OR YEAR/MAKE/MODEL]
Call list_vehicles with that search string.
If you find it, tell me status, days held if present, and any linked economics you are allowed to see.
Then call list_expenses filtered to the same period if useful, and list_sales if it is sold.
Give me the complete story of this unit in 10 lines or fewer.For your agent
Paste this once so the agent installs and uses MCP correctly.
Drop it into ChatGPT custom instructions, a Claude Project, a Gem, or a Cursor rule. Then add the connector URL if it is not already connected.

When I say “briefing”, run the morning briefing workflow. When I paste a VIN, look that unit up.Trust model
The same tenancy and permissions as the app.
OAuth, not API keys
Assistants register dynamically and sign in with PKCE. You never paste a long-lived secret into ChatGPT.
Hashed tokens
Access and refresh tokens are stored as salted hashes. Refresh tokens rotate. Disconnect invalidates the connection.
No anonymous access
Guest / anonymous app sessions cannot connect. Use the real dealer email and password.
Revoke anytime
Account → AI Integrations lists every assistant. Disconnect removes access immediately.
Details
What dealers usually ask.
Does this work on the free plan?
No. MCP connections are part of Dealer Pro. Upgrade in the iOS or Android app, or on the pricing page, then connect.
Can the assistant change my data?
No. The server only exposes read tools. There is no create, update, or delete endpoint for vehicles, expenses, sales, or debts.
Which ChatGPT plan do I need?
Custom connectors depend on ChatGPT plan and region. If you do not see Apps & Connectors, use Claude, Cursor, or Claude Code with the same URL — they speak the same MCP.
What if sign-in fails?
Use the same email and password as the Car Dealer Tracker app. The account must own or belong to a dealership and have Pro. Reset the password in the app under Settings → Account if needed.
Where do I manage connections?
In the iOS or Android app: Account → AI Integrations. The same screen shows the live connector URL and a Disconnect action per assistant.
Connect it once. Ask about the lot every morning.
Dealer Pro includes MCP. Start from the app or upgrade on the web, then paste the URL into your agent.
