Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEiRacing MCP
iRacing MCP is a Python-based project that integrates iRacing with the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It provides tools and resources to interact with iRacing data and build custom applications.

Getting Started
Prerequisites
- uv - Install here
- iRacing account with legacy authentication (required) - Enable it here: https://oauth.iracing.com/accountmanagement/security
Usage
Running the Server Standalone
To start the MCP server, run:
IRACING_USERNAME="your username" IRACING_PASSWORD="your-password" uvx iracing-mcp
Running the Server on VSCode
Add this to your settings.json (in mcp.servers):
"iracing": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"iracing-mcp@latest"
],
"env": {
"IRACING_USERNAME": "[email protected]",
"IRACING_PASSWORD": "your password"
}
}
Running the MCP Server on Claude Desktop
Add this to your settings.json:
[
"mcpServers": {
"iracing": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"iracing-mcp@latest"
],
"env": {
"IRACING_USERNAME": "[email protected]",
"IRACING_PASSWORD": "your-password"
}
}
}
}
Running the Server on other MCP Clients
Currently I am only using VS Code as MCP Client so I don't know how to configure to other MCP Clients. I am happy to receive PRs on how to configure in the different MCP Servers (e.g. Cursor, Claude Desktop, etc.)

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
