Example request: "Check what safety recalls exist for a used car I'm thinking of buying."

It is a free service with an MCP server at https://vin-decode-production.up.railway.app/mcp. It does not need an API key. Ask me before you share anything with it."

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.
