Our free dealer calculators and the Independent Dealer Index, callable directly from Claude, ChatGPT, and any other MCP-compatible assistant. Ask your AI a deal-math question and it can run the real calculation — no copy-paste.
Add DealerVLO as an HTTP MCP server in any client that supports remote MCP servers. For a config-file client (e.g. Claude Desktop), add:
{
"mcpServers": {
"dealervlo": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://www.dealervlo.com/api/mcp"
}
}
}It's a stateless JSON-RPC 2.0 server over HTTP — no API key, no auth, no rate limits. Point any MCP client at the endpoint and the tools appear. The same math powers the free web calculators.
A free Model Context Protocol server that exposes DealerVLO's dealer calculators (out-the-door price, BHPH payment, profit margin, inventory turn, and deal structuring) plus the Independent Dealer Index as tools an AI assistant can call. Ask a deal-math question and the assistant runs the actual calculation instead of estimating it.
Any client that supports remote MCP servers over HTTP. In a config-file client such as Claude Desktop, add the endpoint as an HTTP server using the snippet on this page; in other assistants, add it wherever the client lets you connect a remote MCP server or custom connector.
No. It's free, with no API key, account, or sign-up. Point an MCP client at https://www.dealervlo.com/api/mcp and the tools appear.
No. The calculators work only with the numbers the assistant sends in each call, and the server doesn't save them. It has no access to any DealerVLO account; the dealer_index tool returns only aggregate, anonymized medians.
Aggregate, anonymized median benchmarks, such as doc fees, BHPH terms, and gross per unit, from independent dealers using DealerVLO's free tools. A metric is included only after it clears a minimum sample size; until then, the tool says the index is still collecting data.
These are the calculations behind DealerVLO — the dealer management system for independent used-car lots. If the tools are useful, the full app runs them automatically on every unit and every deal.
