# Bolt Pattern Finder MCP for AI Agents MCP

> The Bolt Pattern Finder handles precise automotive wheel specification lookups and cross-compatibility checks. This MCP gives your AI client immediate access to factory hub data—including bolt pattern, center bore size, lug nut thread, and offset range—for virtually any vehicle sold in the US, EU, or Asia over the last 30 years.

## Description

Figuring out if a wheel fits is always complicated. You need more than just a year and make; you need specific dimensions like bolt patterns and center bores to ensure everything bolts up safely. This MCP solves that by providing exact factory specs for nearly every car on the road. Instead of cross-referencing massive, outdated manuals or calling a dealer, your agent pulls reliable data directly. You can ask it to pull precise hub details for any vehicle, or check if wheels from one model will actually fit another. Since Vinkius hosts this MCP in its catalog, you connect once and get instant access to detailed mechanical specifications that used to take hours of manual research.

## Tools

### check_compatibility
Checks if a wheel designed for one vehicle will safely and functionally fit onto another.

### get_vehicle_specs
Retrieves the precise factory specifications, including bolt pattern, center bore, lug nut thread size, and offset range, for any given car model.

### list_makes
Provides a complete list of every automotive manufacturer supported by the database.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the correct specs for a 2015 Honda Accord?
```

**Response:** 
```
**Vehicle Specs: 2015 Honda Accord**

*   **Bolt Pattern:** 5x114.3mm
*   **Center Bore:** 64.1mm
*   **Lug Nut Thread Size:** M12x1.5
*   **Offset Range:** +12mm to +52mm

These specs are crucial for ordering replacement wheels or hubs.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Will my 2018 Camry wheels fit on a 2015 Accord?
```

**Response:** 
```
**Fitment Check: INCOMPATIBLE**

The wheel set from the '2018 Toyota Camry' cannot safely mount to the '2015 Honda Accord'. While both cars are similar, the bolt pattern and center bore requirements do not match for a reliable installation. You need to find wheels designed specifically for the Accord's dimensions.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
List all supported car makes in your database.
```

**Response:** 
```
We cover a huge range of manufacturers! The database supports major brands, including:

✅ Acura, Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Ford, Honda, Toyota,
✅ Nissan, Jeep, Subaru, Kia, and many more.

Need to check specs for one? Just let me know the year and model.

## Capabilities

### Determine wheel safety compatibility
Your agent compares the dimensions of two different wheels against each other to confirm safe fitment onto a specific vehicle.

### Retrieve detailed factory specifications
The MCP fetches comprehensive data for a single car, providing its exact bolt pattern, center bore size, lug nut thread, and offset range.

### List all supported car manufacturers
You can request an exhaustive list of every automotive manufacturer supported by the database.

## Use Cases

### Restoring a Classic Car's Wheel Setup
A restorer needs to source replacement wheels for a 1985 sedan. Instead of guessing the original dimensions, they ask their agent to retrieve the factory specs for that exact year and model. The tool provides the precise bolt pattern and lug nut thread size needed to buy period-correct parts.

### Comparing Aftermarket Wheel Options
A client wants to upgrade their 2018 SUV but isn't sure which wheel brands will match. They ask the agent to run a compatibility check, comparing several potential wheels against the vehicle’s known specifications to guarantee fitment.

### Verifying Hub Data for Used Parts
A mechanic gets a set of used hub assemblies and needs to know if they match the car VIN. They use the agent to check the precise center bore size, ensuring the parts are interchangeable before installation.

### Inventory Audit for Wheel Dealers
A wheel dealer needs to update their inventory database with every supported vehicle make and model they handle. They ask the agent to list all supported automotive manufacturers to ensure complete coverage of their stock.

## Benefits

- Stop guessing if wheels will fit. The tool automatically checks compatibility, telling you right away if two wheel sets are safe to use together.
- Get precise hub data instantly. Instead of digging through old manuals, your agent pulls the exact bolt pattern, center bore, and offset range for any vehicle in seconds.
- Save time on inventory management. Use list_makes to verify that every manufacturer you deal with is covered by our database before committing to a client project.
- Reduce costly mistakes. By confirming fitment upfront, you eliminate the risk of ordering or installing parts that won't actually bolt up correctly.
- Accuracy across decades. The data covers 99% of vehicles sold in major markets over the last 30 years, giving you deep historical reliability.

## How It Works

The bottom line is that you get instant access to critical mechanical data without manually searching through multiple parts catalogs.

1. Tell your agent what kind of vehicle you're working with, or if you need to compare two different wheels.
2. Your agent uses the MCP tools to query the vast database for all necessary dimensions and compatibility checks.
3. The system returns a clear, definitive answer: either a detailed spec sheet or a simple 'Incompatible' warning.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How accurate is the Bolt Pattern Finder when checking vehicle wheel fitment?**
The compatibility checks are highly reliable. The MCP draws from data covering 99% of vehicles sold in the US, EU, and Asia over the last 30 years. It provides a definitive yes or no answer based on matching critical dimensions.

**Does this help me find original factory wheel specs?**
Yes, it does. You can use the tool to pull precise hub data for any specific car model, including its exact bolt pattern, center bore size, and offset range, replicating what a dealer would tell you.

**What if my vehicle is older than 30 years?**
While the database covers over the last three decades for most major markets, always confirm with local experts for extremely rare or bespoke vintage vehicles. However, it handles a vast amount of historical data.

**Do I need to use this MCP if I just want a list of car brands?**
No, that specific task is simpler. You can ask the tool for a full list of supported manufacturers directly, which gives you a quick overview of what makes are covered.

**Is this better than using a physical parts catalog?**
It's much faster and more comprehensive. A physical book can't compare two different cars instantly or pull dozens of dimensional metrics; your agent does that in seconds, providing the data you need to make safe decisions.
