CarScout is a remote MCP server, so any assistant that can add a custom connector by link can use it. Same link, same tools.
In ChatGPT, open Settings, then Connectors (called Apps & Connectors on some accounts).
Under Advanced settings, switch on Developer mode. That is what lets you add a connector by link.
Choose Create, give it a name, paste the link as the MCP server URL, and save. If it needs a sign-in, ChatGPT asks for it here.
Start a chat, open the tools menu, pick the connector, and ask. ChatGPT asks before it runs a tool the first time.
Custom connectors need a paid ChatGPT plan, and on Team, Enterprise and Edu accounts only an admin can add them. Our "Working" label means the server answered us; it cannot tell whether your plan lets you add it. All connectors that work in ChatGPT
In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors.
Choose Add custom connector, give it a name, and paste the link.
If it needs a sign-in, Claude sends you to it. Then turn the connector on in a chat from the tools menu and ask.
Custom connectors are available on paid Claude plans; on Team and Enterprise accounts an admin may need to add them. Our "Working" label means the server answered us; it cannot tell whether your plan lets you add it. All connectors that work in Claude

get_market_dataGet dated aggregate asking prices, model-year recalls, and EPA fuel economy. Results include data freshness; unavailable values are null and unavailable lists are empty. Does not return listings or a vehicle appraisal.check_recallsRead available NHTSA model-year recall campaigns and complaint counts. These records do not establish a specific VIN's recall coverage or repair status.decode_vinDecode available vehicle specifications from a VIN. This lookup does not provide accident history or recall repair status.create_scoutCreate a saved search (scout) from vehicle and filter criteria or a VIN pattern. Each request carries a creationRequestId from check_limits, so a matching retry returns the existing scout instead of a duplicate. Scouts check roughly every 24 hours and email a daily digest of new list_scoutsRead your saved scouts, full search criteria, status, and latest update time. Scout names are text the user entered.get_scoutRead one of your scouts, including every search criterion and its latest update time.update_scoutChange the supplied fields of one scout and keep the rest. This overwrites the supplied saved criteria and changes future marketplace checks and daily digests. vehicleIndex edits one saved vehicle, and vehicleCombinations replaces the full vehicle list. Filter objects change onlydelete_scoutDelete one scout. This stops its daily checks and deletes its saved alerts.check_limitsReturn your scout capacity and a creationRequestId with requestExpiresAt. create_scout accepts the ID for 24 hours, and a matching retry returns the existing scout instead of a duplicate.get_alertsRead saved matches from one of your scouts, one page at a time. This does not run a new inventory search. Dealer names, titles, and links are third-party listing data.dismiss_alertDismiss one saved match from one of your scouts, with a reason.submit_feedbackSend a bug report, feature request, or feedback to the CarScout team. This saves the report and can send an email notification to CarScout support that cannot be recalled.https://mcp.usecarscout.com/mcpNot in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it.
