Car Dealer Tracker is the independent-dealer app that connects ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, and Claude Code to your live lot. On Dealer Pro, add the plugin or paste one MCP URL, sign in, and ask about inventory, profit, expenses, sales, debts, and cash. Controlled writes — confirmed vehicle and expense updates — are in a controlled rollout after security validation and are not generally enabled yet.
Use it when you already run the lot in Car Dealer Tracker and want the assistant to answer from your numbers, then make a confirmed change without opening the app.
The same numbers you trust in the app — inventory age, true profit, cash, debts — plus confirmed vehicle and expense edits in the assistant you already use.
Every write shows the exact record and before/after values. Nothing is applied until you say yes to that preview.
Sign in with the Car Dealer Tracker account. Tokens are bound to your user and organization.
Every connection appears in Account → AI Integrations. Revoke it there and the assistant loses access.
AI connections are part of Dealer Pro. Upgrade in the app or on the pricing page, then connect.
The same MCP URL powers the ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini plugins, plus Cursor and Claude Code. After you add it, sign in with the email and password from the app, then tap Allow.

Controlled writes (preview, your confirmation, then apply) are in a controlled rollout after security validation — when your account gets them, every write still shows the exact before/after values first. If a permission in the app hides cost or profit from a team role, MCP respects the same rules. Sales, debts, accounts, and payments stay in the app.

2. Call preview_vehicle_update changing only asking_price to [AMOUNT]. Do not set status to sold. Do not change purchase cost.
3. Show dealership, vehicle ID, and the complete before/after. Wait for my explicit yes.
4. Only then call apply_vehicle_update with the unmodified preview token and a unique idempotency key.
