DealerVLO MCP Server

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.

Endpoint: https://www.dealervlo.com/api/mcp

Available tools

out_the_door_price
Out-the-door price: sale price + tax + doc + title, minus trade & down, with an optional payment.

Connect it

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.

Built by a dealer, for dealers

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.
