Tools

Tool	Description
`get_makes`	Get all vehicle brands for a model year. Returns make names and IDs. E.g., year '2023'.
`get_models`	Get all vehicle models for a make and year. Returns model names and IDs. E.g., make 'Toyota', year '2023'.

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nhtsa": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/nhtsa/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 884+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Nhtsa data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
