Free API

🔌 Connect your AI to every car ever made

The OLP MCP server makes this database a live tool for AI assistants. Ask Claude “what's book time on a 2015 Silverado water pump?” and it answers from our data — current, exact, and cited — instead of guessing from stale training data. Labor times, torque specs, fluids, DTC codes, and battery specs for vehicles from 1955 to today.
