Call this server's tools from your browser. Nothing to install.
Requests go through mcptry because browsers can't call most MCP servers directly. Header values are sent to the server for that request only and are never stored or logged.

Free. Return a compact reference of the Car Image REST API (methods, paths, parameters, credit costs, response headers, error codes, agent notes) for writing code that calls the API directly, with SDK (`@meterapp/car-image-sdk`) and CLI (`npx @meterapp/car-image`) equivalents. Optional endpoint filter.
Filter by path fragment or keyword, e.g. "images/car", "image-urls", "vin", "3d". Omit for the full compact reference.

}Free, no account needed. The pricing document: every plan's monthly and yearly price, its vehicle images a month (a vehicle image is one vehicle in one color from one angle, delivered as often as needed), included credits (for 3D models, make logos and upgrades; credits are not sold), limits per tier and features, the one-time Image Packs (add_ons), the free tier and live 3D model cost. There is no overage. Every plan and pack has a checkout_url that works before signup (sign-in, then Stripe Checkout; nothing is charged until the human pays): hand it to the human with the price. Use before explaining costs or choosing a plan.
No arguments.

}Free. List the supported camera views (with yaw angles and aliases), the fifteen preset colors with hex swatches (any other paint is a hex color), size presets, output formats, current pricing and catalog coverage. Use it when you need to validate or explain what can be requested.

}Free, no account needed. The picture of a catalog vehicle that its public page on carimage.dev already shows, when one is stored: a 600 px WebP with ready-to-paste markdown, the view and paint it is in, and every stored view and paint. Never renders: another view, paint or size, or a vehicle with nothing stored, is an image from the account server (create_car_image_urls, 1 credit). Pass the vehicle id from resolve_vehicle or search_vehicles, plus the view and color the human asked for. Say it is a preview, and name its view and color when they differ from the request.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| view | string | The view the human asked for, if any. A stored picture in that view is preferred; otherwise the vehicle page's main picture is returned and the result says which view it is. |
| color | string | The paint the human asked for, if any (a preset, a CSS color name or a hex). Preferred when a picture in that paint is stored; never recolored here. |
| vehicle* | string | Stable vehicle id such as veh_395yw8tn73ff8, as resolve_vehicle (params.vehicle_id), search_vehicles and decode_vin return it. The preferred way to name a vehicle: it cannot be misspelled. It names the make, model and year, so omit those when it is given. |

}Free. The first call for any picture of a car, including one you chose yourself: turn a request such as "red 2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata side view" into the catalog vehicle and exact get_car_image parameters (vehicle_id, make, model, year, view, color), plus alternative candidates and a confidence of high, medium or low. A make and model are read by the rules the image tools read them with, so this names the vehicle they would render. Pass params.vehicle_id as vehicle to get_car_image, create_car_image_urls or create_3d_model. Ask the human to choose when confidence is low or several candidates fit, and tell them when params.year is not the year they asked for (extracted.year).
| Argument | Type | Description |

| query* | string | What the human asked for, in words: year, make and model, plus the view and color when they named them, e.g. "red 2024 porsche 911 side view". |

}Free. Browse the open vehicle catalog (1,608 makes, 42,318 models, 1990-2027) by make and/or model with typo tolerance. Returns canonical make/model names, the years each model exists and match kind; a model hit carries a stable vehicle id per year (ids, and id when the query names one year) to pass as `vehicle` to the image and 3D tools. Use it to list a make's models, to see which years exist or to let the human choose between similar models; when you already know which car is wanted, resolve_vehicle is the one call that names it.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| year | integer | Restrict results to one model year. |
| limit | integer | Maximum number of results (1-25). |
| query* | string | Free text: make and/or model, optional year, typos tolerated, e.g. "porshe 911" or "2019 f150". Fewer words find more: every word must be in the name of one catalog vehicle. |
