Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key?
No! NHTSA data is completely free and open government data. No authentication required.
What is a VIN?
VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a unique 17-character code assigned to every vehicle. It encodes the manufacturer, model, year, engine type, assembly plant and more. Find it on your dashboard or driver's door jamb.
Can I check recalls for my car?
Yes! Use get_recalls_by_vehicle with your car's make, model and year. Or use decode_vin with your VIN for complete vehicle details including any open recalls.
What do safety ratings mean?
NHTSA rates vehicles 1-5 stars in frontal crash, side crash and rollover tests. Overall rating combines all categories. 5 stars is the highest safety rating.
How does Mastra AI connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCPClient with the server URL and pass it to your agent. Mastra discovers all tools and makes them available with full TypeScript types.
Can Mastra agents use tools from multiple servers?
Yes. Pass multiple MCP clients to the agent constructor. Mastra merges all tool schemas and the agent can call any tool from any server.
Does Mastra support workflow orchestration?
