Details
From the project READMEmcp-server-trustcar
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for trustcar.info — a Ukrainian licence-plate lookup and driver review service. Ask your AI assistant "что за машина AA1234BC?" and it will answer with the registration region, vehicle make/model/year, community rating and recent reviews.
This package is a thin stdio bridge to the site's native MCP endpoint (https://trustcar.info/mcp). Tools are discovered at startup, so the package never goes stale.

lookup_plate | Region, vehicle (make/model/year/fuel), rating and recent reviews for a Ukrainian licence plate | none |
recent_plates | Recently active plates on trustcar.info (with vehicle make/model where known) | none |
post_review | Post a licence-plate review on behalf of an authenticated user (labelled as AI-agent-generated, shown separately, does not affect the community rating) | OAuth bearer |

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.
