# General Motors MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > General Motors MCP lets you control GM vehicles through your AI client. You can check diagnostics, track GPS location, manage EV charging, and send navigation commands directly to your car. It's the bridge between your vehicle's hardware and your agent's capabilities. ## Overview - **Category:** industry-titans - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_mSGVb29jyaLBp5EWqfgxXf9icDhC3kcljHW1PsAX/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** connected-vehicle, telemetry, vehicle-diagnostics, gps-tracking, ev-charging, fleet-monitoring ## Description This Connector connects your AI agent to the General Motors Connected Vehicle API to give you direct control over your car's status and security. Instead of digging through the myChevrolet or OnStar apps to find a single piece of data, you can just ask your agent to do the work for you. Whether you're trying to see if your fleet's trucks are running low on fuel or you just want to make sure your personal car is locked, this connection makes it happen in a single sentence. You can check battery levels on an EV, pull up engine diagnostics for a maintenance check, or even pre-condition your cabin's temperature before you step outside. It turns your vehicle into a data point that your agent can read and act upon instantly. By adding this to your toolkit in the Vinkius catalog, you're moving away from manual app-switching and toward a setup where your car responds to your natural language. It handles the complex API calls for things like remote starts and GPS tracking so you can focus on the road. ## Tools ### get_tire_pressure Pull pressure readings for all four tires to ensure safe driving.

Ask your agent to flash the lights and honk the horn so you can spot it immediately. ### Fleet mileage tracking A fleet manager needs to know the total mileage on 20 different trucks to schedule oil changes. They ask the agent to pull odometer readings for the entire fleet. ### EV Range Planning You're planning a long trip in a Bolt EV. Ask your agent to check the current charge status and estimated range to see if you need to stop for a charge. ### Remote Pre-conditioning It's freezing outside and you're about to head to the car. Ask your agent to start the engine and warm up the cabin so it's comfortable when you get in. ## Benefits - Get real-time GPS location via get_vehicle_location to find parked cars instantly without walking around the lot. - Manage EV range anxiety by checking battery levels with get_charge_status to plan your charging stops. - Automate maintenance by pulling engine health data through get_vehicle_diagnostics to catch issues early. - Secure your property remotely using lock_doors and unlock_doors commands to ensure your car is always safe. - Pre-condition your cabin temperature using start_vehicle before you leave home for a comfortable start. - Sync your trips by pushing addresses to the car with send_turn_by_turn so your route is ready on arrival. ## How It Works The bottom line is you turn your car into a conversational command center. 1. Create an application in the GM Developer Portal and get your credentials. 2. Authenticate via OAuth to link your specific vehicle to your agent. 3. Ask your agent to check status, run diagnostics, or send commands. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Can I use the General Motors MCP to find my car in a parking lot?** Yes, you can ask your agent to get the exact GPS location of your vehicle.
