Monitor Real-Time Status via MCP Server
When you call `get_battery_status` or `get_tires_status`, the data streams directly into your React component. Users see the status update in real time, without waiting for a loading spinner to resolve. You can build entire dashboard views that display metrics like `get_fuel_status` and `get_doors_status` as they change, making the user experience feel instantaneous.
View Vehicle Metadata in Streams
The `get_vehicle_details` tool lets you pull all necessary metadata for a car into your frontend stream. This is perfect for displaying VINs or model years right after the user selects a vehicle. Because it streams, if you call this multiple times, the new data overwrites old info instantly—no full page refresh needed to show updated `get_odometer` readings.
Handle Multiple Vehicle Lookups
Use `list_vehicles` first to populate a dropdown list of IDs for your users. Then, you can stream status checks for several cars by calling tools like `get_engine_status` sequentially. This flow lets the user see all active vehicles and their current operational states—like checking multiple car's `get_windows_status` at once.
