What is the Volvo Cars Connected MCP Server?
Connect your AI agent to the Volvo Cars Connected Vehicle API. This integration allows you to interact with your Volvo vehicle in real-time, retrieving essential telemetry data and status updates through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Vehicle Oversight — List all vehicles associated with your Volvo ID and get detailed metadata for each (VIN, Model, Year)
- Real-time Status — Check battery levels for EVs/Hybrids, fuel levels for ICE vehicles, and estimated distance to empty
- Security Monitoring — Verify if doors and windows are locked/closed without opening the app
- Health Checks — Monitor tire pressure status and engine states across your fleet
- Operational Metrics — Retrieve odometer readings and trip statistics to track usage and efficiency
How it works

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a VCC API Key?
You must register at the Volvo Cars Developer Portal, create an application, and subscribe to the 'Connected Vehicle API' to receive your key.
Where do I get the Access Token?
The access token is generated via the Volvo ID authentication flow (OAuth 2.0). You can use tools like Postman or the Volvo portal's interactive documentation to generate a test token for your Volvo ID.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
