CarsXE is a B2B vehicle data platform from PiWaves, LLC that provides VIN decoding, vehicle specifications, recalls, market values, history, plate decoding, OCR, OBD decoding, and related automotive data. It is used by dealerships, insurers, lenders, fleets, and other auto-tech businesses.
CarsXE exposes a REST API at `https://api.carsxe.com`, a hosted MCP server at `https://mcp.carsxe.com/mcp`, and a `carsxe` CLI (`@carsxe/cli`); all require a CarsXE API key, with the MCP endpoint additionally accepting the same key as Bearer auth or query param per the live endpoint response.

$ carsxe config set-key YOUR_API_KEYAcquired by the CLI — running carsxe config set-key YOUR_API_KEY opens the auth flow and stores the credential.
Sign in at https://carsxe.com, then open the developer dashboard at https://carsxe.com/dashboard/developer to create an API key. The same key authenticates the REST API (as the key query parameter), the MCP server (as the X-API-Key header), and the carsxe CLI. See https://carsxe.com/docs/authentication for details.
