Documentation Overview

RecallChecker

A free tool + MCP server that answers one question well: "Is this vehicle recalled?" Enter a car's make, model, and year and get an instant, plain-language list of open U.S. safety recalls — pulled live from official NHTSA data, with the hazard, the remedy, the date, and a link to the official notice.

Live: checkrecall.com · MCP: https://mcp.checkrecall.com/mcp

Features

Web tool — search by make / model / year and get a direct answer with the recall count, campaign details, dates, and official links. Results live at a shareable, crawlable URL.
Reference pages — a page per common vehicle query at /recalls/[make]/[model]/[year], each backed by live data.
MCP server — the same lookup as a tool any MCP-compatible AI assistant can call: check_vehicle_recalls(make, model, year), returning a human-readable summary plus structured data.

Data source

Source	Provides	Notes
NHTSA Recalls API	U.S. vehicle safety recall campaigns	No API key. `api.nhtsa.gov/recalls/recallsByVehicle?make=&model=&modelYear=`

Every answer shows the data's "as of" date and links back to the official NHTSA notice. A "no recalls found" result reports the absence of campaigns in NHTSA as of that date — it is not a guarantee of safety and is not VIN-specific. Data sourced from NHTSA (nhtsa.gov).

Tech

Next.js (App Router) + TypeScript, deployed to Cloudflare Workers via OpenNext; response caching on Workers KV. The MCP server is a second Worker that reuses the same lookup core, so the website and the assistant tool never duplicate lookup logic.

Development

Terminal

npm install
npm run dev            # local dev (wrangler)
npm test               # unit tests
npm run deploy         # deploy the web app
npm run mcp:dev        # local MCP server
npm run mcp:deploy     # deploy the MCP server

Build uses next build --webpack (Turbopack output is not yet compatible with OpenNext).
