Tools & capabilities

Kiaaccess MCP tools 16

  • kia_healthcheckResolves the credential the way real tools do, then makes one authenticated request to Kia Connect. Reports which source supplied the credential, whether Kia Connect accepted it, the round-trip time, and a plain-English hint distinguishing 'no credential' from 'credential rejected' from 'a Kia Connect-side problem'. Read-only; never returns the credential itself. Call this when a real tool fails and you want to know which hop broke.
  • kia_session_statusWhether this server is configured and logged in to Kia: are credentials present, has the one-time MFA bootstrap been completed on this device, and which vehicle commands are registered (KIA_WRITE_MODE). Makes NO network call and returns no secret — the account email is masked, the device id is truncated, and neither the session id nor the remember-me token is ever included. Start here when a Kia tool reports it is not configured.
  • kia_start_loginStep 1 of the ONE-TIME Kia MFA bootstrap (prof/authUser): send the configured credentials and get back the `otpKey` and `xid` the next two steps need. Only needed when kia_session_status reports hasSession:false — once the bootstrap is done the stored remember-me token refreshes sessions silently forever. Asks the user to confirm first: a confirmation prompt where the client supports one; otherwise the first call makes NO network call and returns a preview plus a confirmToken, and only a repeat call with that token proceeds (see MCP_CONFIRM_MODE). The gate is real: Kia counts failed logins and eventually enforces reCAPTCHA, which breaks server-side login for this account PERMANENTLY — so a rejection is never retried, and a wrong password must be fixed in the environment rather than guessed at.
  • kia_send_otpStep 2 of the Kia MFA bootstrap (cmm/sendOTP): deliver a one-time passcode to the account by SMS or email. Takes the `otpKey` and `xid` from kia_start_login — it cannot run without them, which is why it has no separate confirmation gate. Ask the user which channel they want (kia_start_login reports the masked destinations Kia has on file). The passcode expires in about two minutes; `expiresAt` reports when.
  • kia_verify_otpStep 3 of the Kia MFA bootstrap (cmm/verifyOTP): exchange the passcode for a session. The resulting remember-me token is stored locally and is NOT returned — from here on every Kia tool refreshes its own session silently and MFA is never needed again on this device. Takes the `otpKey` and `xid` from kia_start_login plus the code the user received.
  • kia_forget_sessionDiscard the locally stored Kia session (the remember-me token), so the next Kia call needs the one-time MFA bootstrap again. This is the recovery path when the stored token no longer works — Kia revoked it, the password changed, or the account moved to another device — and the only alternative is deleting the session file by hand. It makes NO network call: Kia is not told anything, only this machine forgets. Asks the user to confirm first: a confirmation prompt where the client supports one; otherwise the first call makes NO network call and returns a preview plus a confirmToken, and only a repeat call with that token proceeds (see MCP_CONFIRM_MODE). Nothing is deleted until it is confirmed.
  • kia_list_vehiclesList the vehicles enrolled on this Kia Owners account (ownr/gvl). Returns each vehicleKey — the id every other Kia tool takes — plus nickname, model year/name/trim, mileage, fuel type and telematics unit. VINs are masked to their last 6 characters.
  • kia_vehicle_statusRead the vehicle's CACHED status (cmm/gvi): door lock, ignition, and the remote-climate block. Fast, but it reports whatever the telematics unit last uploaded — use kia_refresh_status first when freshness matters. Requested with airTempRange/seatHeatCoolOption = "1" so the nested `climate` object is present; when it is still absent the result says so rather than reporting climate as off. Note `ign3` (not `engine`) is the ignition on an EV, and `syncDate` advances on every read, so it never proves anything changed. Per-seat heat/vent state is reported under `climate.seats` as the RAW numbers Kia sends: the `heatVentType`/`heatVentLevel` encoding is UNVERIFIED, so do not tell the user a seat is heating, ventilating or off based on them. An absent seat block means this read carried no seat data — it does NOT mean the car lacks heated seats, which this server cannot currently determine. Pass include_raw for the untrimmed status block (battery/EV detail, doors, tyres, …).
  • kia_refresh_statusAsk the car for a fresh reading (rems/rvs, requestType 0). This WAKES THE TELEMATICS UNIT, so it is much slower than kia_vehicle_status and draws a little power — prefer the cached read unless staleness matters. Kia only acknowledges the request; it does not return the new data and gives no completion signal, so read kia_vehicle_status afterwards to see the refreshed values.
  • kia_vehicle_locationThe vehicle's last known location, from the `location` block of the cached cmm/gvi read. This is where the telematics unit last reported being, not a live GPS fix — run kia_refresh_status first for a recent one. Latitude/longitude and a map link are derived when the block carries `coord.lat`/`coord.lon`; otherwise the raw block is returned as-is (its exact field names are not verified).
  • kia_start_climateStart remote climate control / preconditioning (Kia `rems/start`, live-verified). Asks the user to confirm first: a confirmation prompt where the client supports one; otherwise the first call makes NO network call and returns a preview plus a confirmToken, and only a repeat call with that token proceeds (see MCP_CONFIRM_MODE). Once confirmed it sends the command and re-reads cmm/gvi until the NESTED `climate.airCtrl` reads true (there is no flat `airCtrlOn` field). On an EV `engine` stays false while climate runs — `ign3` is the ignition proxy and is reported alongside. `commandAccepted` (Kia took the request) and `stateConfirmed` (the car actually reads running) are separate; state changes were observed to take 30–60s. TEMPERATURE IS BEST-EFFORT AND UNCONFIRMED: per docs/KIA-API.md a start requesting 70°F still read back 72°F, so the car may report its own last-set target rather than the requested one — do not promise the user a specific cabin temperature. Seat and steering-wheel/rear-window heating are not sent at all: the request body deliberately omits `heatVentSeat` (Kia validates seat capability per car) and leaves every `heatingAccessory` field at 0.
  • kia_stop_climateStop remote climate control (Kia `rems/stop`, live-verified). Asks the user to confirm first: a confirmation prompt where the client supports one; otherwise the first call makes NO network call and returns a preview plus a confirmToken, and only a repeat call with that token proceeds (see MCP_CONFIRM_MODE). Once confirmed it sends the command and re-reads cmm/gvi until the NESTED `climate.airCtrl` reads false (there is no flat `airCtrlOn` field); `ign3` — the EV ignition proxy — is reported alongside. `commandAccepted` (Kia took the request) and `stateConfirmed` (the car actually reads stopped) are separate. State changes were observed to take 30–60s.

Sixflags MCP tools 7

  • sixflags_list_parksList Six Flags parks (the combined Six Flags / Cedar Fair chain, including Carowinds, Cedar Point, Canada’s Wonderland, Magic Mountain, and the Hurricane Harbor water parks). Optionally filter by a name substring. Returns each park’s id, name, and owning destination, and flags your configured home park.
  • sixflags_get_park_scheduleGet operating hours (open/close times) for a Six Flags park, from today forward. Defaults to your home park. Use this to plan what time to arrive and how long you have.
  • sixflags_get_wait_timesGet current ride wait times for a Six Flags park (defaults to your home park, Carowinds). Returns every attraction with its status (operating/closed/down) and standby + single-rider waits, sorted longest-wait first, plus a summary of the park’s crowd level.
  • sixflags_suggest_nextRecommend which attraction to ride next: ranks currently-operating rides by shortest standby wait. Optionally exclude rides you’ve already done and cap the wait. Use this repeatedly through the day to keep hopping to the lowest-wait ride. Defaults to your home park (Carowinds).
  • sixflags_list_attractionsList the attractions (or shows / restaurants) at a Six Flags park — the full directory of what’s there, with map coordinates. Static metadata, not live status; use sixflags_get_wait_times for current waits. Defaults to your home park (Carowinds).
  • sixflags_get_showsGet today’s live show schedule (showtimes) for a Six Flags park — parades, stunt shows, character meets. Defaults to your home park (Carowinds). Showtimes are only populated on operating days.
  • sixflags_healthcheckCheck that the upstream data source (themeparks.wiki) is reachable and returning Six Flags park data. Returns ok/degraded plus the number of parks discovered.
