About General Motors MCP Server
What you can do
Connect AI agents to the General Motors Connected Vehicle API for comprehensive car management:
LlamaIndex agents combine General Motors tool responses with indexed documents for comprehensive, grounded answers. Connect 14 tools through Vinkius and query live data alongside vector stores and SQL databases in a single turn. ideal for hybrid search, data enrichment, and analytical workflows.
- List registered vehicles to manage fleets or personal garages
- Track GPS location to find parked cars or monitor fleet movement
- Monitor diagnostics including oil life, battery voltage, and check engine status
- Check EV charge levels and estimated range for electric vehicles
- Lock and unlock doors remotely for security or guest access
- Start and stop engines remotely to pre-condition cabin temperature
- Flash lights and sound horn to locate vehicles in crowded areas
- Send navigation destinations directly to the infotainment system
The General Motors MCP Server exposes 14 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to LlamaIndex in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

get_fuel_level
Requires VIN. Use this to plan refueling stops or monitor fuel economy. Get the current fuel tank level of a GM vehicle
get_odometer
Requires VIN. Use this to track service intervals, lease mileage limits, or fleet utilization. Get the current mileage (odometer reading) of a GM vehicle
get_tire_pressure
Requires VIN. Use this to identify leaks, ensure safety, or prepare for long trips. Get the current tire pressure readings for all four tires
get_vehicle_diagnostics
Requires VIN. Use this for maintenance scheduling, pre-trip inspections, or health monitoring. Get comprehensive diagnostic data for a GM vehicle
get_vehicle_location
Requires VIN. Use this to find your parked car, track fleet assets, or verify vehicle movement. Get the current GPS location of a specific GM vehicle
get_vehicles
Use this as the first step to identify which VIN to use for commands or diagnostics. List all GM vehicles associated with the account
lock_doors
Requires VIN. Returns command status (success/failed/in-progress). Use this to secure the vehicle after parking or if you forgot to lock it. Lock the doors of a specific GM vehicle remotely
send_turn_by_turn
Requires VIN and a destination object with latitude, longitude, and address. Use this to plan a trip on your phone and have it ready in the car. Send a destination to the vehicle's built-in navigation system
