How to connect: Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use Car Repair Cost Estimator to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://carrepaircostestimator.com/mcp. It does not need an API key. Ask me before you share anything with it." Muse asks before it shares anything with the app's site. Meta does not review apps used this way, so only use ones you trust. We tested this in the Muse app on September 24, 2026: Muse used an app's link directly this way and returned a live answer.

Tools:
- get_repair_cost_estimate: Estimate the cost of a car repair job (parts + labor, USD, US national averages 2026) by make and repair type. Returns low/high ranges for parts, labor, and total. Use list_makes_models and list_repair_types to discover valid slugs.
- list_repair_types: List the repair job types available for cost estimates (slugs, typical parts cost, labor hours). Pass a make_slug to get only the jobs applicable to that make (EVs skip ICE-only jobs).
- list_makes_models: List all supported car makes and their models (slugs, EV flag, price multiplier). Use the make_slug values with get_repair_cost_estimate and list_repair_types.
- get_repair_cost_guide: Get the full editorial cost guide for a repair type: direct answer, price range, cost breakdown table, price factors, failure symptoms, and FAQs (US market, 2026). Use list_repair_guides to discover slugs.
- list_repair_guides: List all editorial repair cost guides (slug, title, category, price range). Optionally filter by category: body, mechanical, glass-wheels, or electrical.
- decode_vin: Decode a 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) into year, make, model, trim, body style, and manufacturer. Use before estimate_vehicle_value to get exact vehicle details.
- estimate_vehicle_value: Estimate the current US market value (USD) of a vehicle from year, make, model, and optional trim. Deterministic model: base price by make, trim multiplier, age-based depreciation. Useful to judge whether a repair is worth the cost.
