Tesla MCP Server: https://mcp.myteslamate.com/mcp

This repository provides a Model Context Protocol server that wraps both the Tesla Fleet API and the TeslaMate API. It includes vehicle endpoints, vehicle commands, energy endpoints (Powerwall/Solar), and charging endpoints. The implementation is modular and fully featured, exposing 98 MCP tools for the Tesla Fleet API and 9 MCP tools for the TeslaMate API.

✨ What You Can Do

This isn't just remote control — it's a conversational interface to your entire Tesla ecosystem. Express your use cases directly to your AI — describe what you want in plain language and let it figure out which tools to call, in what order, and with what parameters. No app to open, no menu to navigate.

⚡ Energy Optimization

"My Powerwall is at 40%. Should I charge my car now or wait for solar production this afternoon?"

"Analyze my last 30 days of energy data — am I losing money by exporting to the grid while paying to charge at night?"

"Set the Powerwall backup reserve to 20% and schedule the car to charge from 2am to 6am at 16A."

The AI can cross-reference your solar production, Powerwall state, grid rates, and vehicle battery level to give you a recommendation — and act on it immediately.

🚗 Smart Vehicle Management

"I have a road trip to Lyon next Thursday. Based on my usual efficiency, will I need to stop for charging? Find the best Supercharger on the route."

"Compare my energy consumption this month vs last month. What changed?"

"Pre-condition the car at 7:45am every weekday and set the charge limit back to 80% — it's currently at 100% from the trip."

📊 Data & Insights (with TeslaMate API)

"What's my average km/kWh over the last 3 months? Is it getting worse?"

"Show me my most expensive charging sessions this year and where they happened."

"How many hours per week is the car sitting with climate running? What's the energy cost?"

🔐 Security & Peace of Mind

"Is my car locked and is Sentry mode on? I forgot to check before my flight."

"My car is parked downtown. Turn on Sentry mode and send me the current location."

🎨 Generative UI — Custom dashboards on demand

Beyond pre-built widgets, the server exposes a Generative UI capability so the AI can build interactive Prefab UI components on the fly to answer with charts, tables and metric cards — not just text.

"Show me a bar chart of my charging cost per location for last month."

"Build a dashboard for this car: current SoC, last 7 drives, and battery health degradation."

"Compare my efficiency this winter vs last summer with two side-by-side metric cards."

The AI uses generative_generate_prefab_ui to author Python code in a sandbox (Pyodide + Deno on the server); the resulting widget is rendered directly in your chat through a Skybridge-mime iframe — no template authoring on your side, no extra round-trip. The companion generative_search_prefab_components lookup tool keeps the LLM honest about component signatures.

It works equally well for Tesla Fleet API and TeslaMate users — the same generative tool is gated by either subscription.

Skills — pre-framed analytical workflows

The server also ships MCP Skills: markdown workflows the LLM reads on demand to chain tools into a coherent answer. The first one available is drive-efficiency-coach:

"Run the drive efficiency coach for the last 30 days and show it as a report."

The skill walks the AI through fetching your TeslaMate drives, computing Wh/km percentiles, identifying outliers, cross-referencing speed/temperature/trip-length, and rendering a Generative UI report (metric cards + outliers table + 1–3 actionable coaching insights anchored in your own numbers).

🤝 Contribute a skill

Skills are the easiest way to extend this server without touching Python. Pull requests welcome — drop a new directory under tesla_mcp/skills/ and SkillsDirectoryProvider picks it up automatically.

A good skill is:

Specific — answers one concrete question well rather than trying to do everything (e.g. "summarize my charging cost by location for a period" beats "manage my charging").
Tool-aware — names the exact MCP tools to call (teslamate_get_car_drives, energy_live_status, …) and the right arguments.
Numerically anchored — the coaching/insights step quotes numbers derived from the user's own data, not generic platitudes.
Visual when it helps — wraps up with a generative_generate_prefab_ui render for analytics/reports; plain text for one-shot questions.
Honest about pitfalls — calls out unit ambiguities, data gaps, edge cases the LLM should handle.

Minimal layout:

Code

tesla_mcp/skills/your-skill-name/
└── SKILL.md

SKILL.md starts with YAML frontmatter (name, description) followed by the workflow. See drive-efficiency-coach/SKILL.md as a reference.

Ideas waiting for an author:

charging-cost-breakdown — group last month's charges by location, surface cost-per-100km
weekly-tesla-digest — drives + charges + battery snapshot + software updates as a Monday-morning email-style report
range-anxiety-checker — given a destination, cross-reference SoC, weather, elevation and recent efficiency to call out a stop or reassure
home-charging-window-finder — using TOU settings + recent charge sessions, find the cheapest 4-hour window to plug in tonight

Available capabilities (98 tools for Tesla Fleet API + 9 for TeslaMate API + 2 Generative UI tools + skills):

Vehicle control: lock/unlock, climate, trunk, windows, lights, horn
Charging: start/stop, set limits, schedule, charging amps, charge history
Powerwall & Solar: live status, energy history, backup reserve, storm mode, grid import/export, time-of-use settings
Navigation: send destinations, find nearby Superchargers
Security: Sentry mode, valet mode, speed limits, PIN to drive
Data & analytics: vehicle data, trip history, drive statistics (TeslaMate API)
Generative UI: on-demand Prefab dashboards (charts, metrics, tables) authored by the AI in a sandboxed Pyodide runtime
Skills: pre-framed analytical workflows (e.g. drive-efficiency-coach) the AI reads on demand to chain tools into a coherent answer

🔐 One-Click SSO — Connect with Your Tesla Account

The hosted server supports OAuth 2.0 Single Sign-On via Tesla's official authorization server. Compatible clients (ChatGPT, Claude.ai, VS Code…) trigger an automatic sign-in flow — no token copy-paste required.

Code

MCP server URL: https://mcp.myteslamate.com/mcp

The server proxies the OAuth flow to auth.tesla.com, then exchanges your Tesla token for a MyTeslaMate token transparently. Your Tesla credentials never touch this server.

🤖 Setup on ChatGPT (Apps / MCP Connector)

ChatGPT supports native MCP connectors via Settings → Apps.

In chat.openai.com, open Settings → Apps.
Click Create app.
Enter the MCP server URL:
Code
```
https://mcp.myteslamate.com/mcp
```
ChatGPT will auto-discover the OAuth metadata and prompt you to Connect.
Sign in with your Tesla account — the authorization is handled automatically.
The connector appears in your Enabled apps list and is available in all your chats.

🧠 Setup on Claude.ai (MCP Connector)

Open claude.ai → Settings → Connectors.
Click Add custom connector.
Enter a name (e.g. Tesla) and the MCP server URL:
Code
```
https://mcp.myteslamate.com/mcp
```
Click Add — Claude will auto-discover the OAuth metadata and show a Connect button.
Click Connect — you'll be redirected to Tesla's login page.
After authorization, Claude will have access to all Tesla MCP tools.

Note: OAuth-based SSO requires a MyTeslaMate account. The server validates your Tesla token and links it to your MTM subscription automatically.

🤖 Claude Code Skills

Ready-to-use Claude Code skills for this MCP server are available in myteslamate/tesla-skills.

Install the /tesla slash command in one step:

Then in Claude Code:

Code

/tesla what is my battery level?
/tesla lock my car
/tesla how much did I charge last month?

🚀 Quick Start - Use Directly in VS Code, Claude Desktop, etc.

No installation required! Use the hosted MCP server directly. Two authentication options:

Option A — SSO (Recommended for Claude.ai & ChatGPT)

Simply provide the server URL and let the client handle the OAuth flow automatically (see sections above).

Option B — Manual Token (VS Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop)

For clients that don't support OAuth, use your MyTeslaMate API token directly in the Authorization header.

For VS Code / Cursor (with MCP Extension) and Other MCP Clients

Add both endpoints to your .vscode/mcp.json configuration to choose your preferred integration:

config.json

{
  "servers": {
    "tesla": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.myteslamate.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Use tesla_fleet_api for direct access to Tesla's official Fleet API.
Use teslamate for integration via TeslaMate API.

For Claude Desktop

Add endpoints in the MCP Connector configuration with the same URLs and headers as above.:

Terminal

claude mcp add --transport http tesla-api "https://mcp.myteslamate.com/mcp"

Select the server according to your authentication method and API preference.

🔑 Getting Your Token (Manual Mode Only)

Visit MyTeslaMate.com
Sign in with your Tesla account
Navigate to the API section in your dashboard
Copy your personal API token
Use it in your MCP configuration

🔧 Self-Hosting (Advanced)

If you prefer to run your own instance, this repository also support TeslaMate API and Tesla Fleet API (Requires Tesla Developer Account and proper Fleet API registration).

Configuration

API Endpoint Configuration

Configure the Tesla API base URL using the TESLA_BASE_URL environment variable:

For MyTeslaMate API (Default)

server.ts

# No configuration needed - uses default
# Or explicitly set:
export TESLA_BASE_URL=https://api.myteslamate.com

For Tesla Fleet API (Official)

Choose your regional endpoint:

server.ts

# North America, Asia-Pacific (excluding China)
export TESLA_BASE_URL=https://fleet-api.prd.na.vn.cloud.tesla.com

# Europe, Middle East, Africa  
export TESLA_BASE_URL=https://fleet-api.prd.eu.vn.cloud.tesla.com

# China
export TESLA_BASE_URL=https://fleet-api.prd.cn.vn.cloud.tesla.cn

Note: When using the official Tesla Fleet API, ensure you have:

A registered Tesla Developer Account
Proper Fleet API access permissions
Valid OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens

Installation

Install the Python dependencies once:

Terminal

pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the MCP server

You can start the server in multiple ways:

Option 1: Using uvicorn (Recommended)

bash

uvicorn tesla_mcp.app:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --reload

Option 2: Docker compose method

bash

make up

Option 3: Legacy method

bash

python server.py

The server will start using HTTP Streaming on http://0.0.0.0:8084. Connect your MCP-compatible client (such as Cursor or VS Code with the MCP extension) and configure a server entry that points to this endpoint.

Usage Examples

Quick Start with MyTeslaMate

bash

# 1. Start the server (uses MyTeslaMate API by default)
uvicorn tesla_mcp.app:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

# 2. Configure your MCP client with:
# URL: http://localhost:8000/sse
# Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MYTESLAMATE_TOKEN

Using Tesla Fleet API (Official)

server.ts

# 1. Set your regional endpoint
export TESLA_BASE_URL=https://fleet-api.prd.na.vn.cloud.tesla.com

# 2. Start the server
uvicorn tesla_mcp.app:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

# 3. Configure your MCP client with:
# URL: http://localhost:8000/sse  
# Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TESLA_FLEET_TOKEN

Docker Usage

bash

# Build the image
docker build -t tesla-mcp .

# Run with MyTeslaMate (default)
docker run -p 8000:8000 tesla-mcp

# Run with Tesla Fleet API
docker run -p 8000:8000 -e TESLA_BASE_URL=https://fleet-api.prd.na.vn.cloud.tesla.com tesla-mcp

Adding new modules

Create a file under tesla_mcp/modules/ inheriting from TeslaModule.
Register the module in tesla_mcp/modules/__init__.py.
Expose new MCP tools inside server.py that delegate to the module methods.

This structure keeps the MCP layer thin while centralising all Tesla Fleet API and TeslaMate API logic in the tesla_mcp package.
