Every tool in the dealership, ready for AI agents.
A movement to open every dealer tool to AI agents. Open MCP tooling, one shared front door for agents, and a public scoreboard of who’s ready.
every tool wired by hand → every tool agent-ready
54 of 84 dealer tools we track are open to AI agents today.
Agents are already shopping for your customers. Your tools can’t talk to them yet.
- A website company launches its own agent, and it only talks to its own tools. Your service scheduler, chat and trade tool are locked out.
- Every vendor ships its own flavor of MCP, or none at all. Nothing connects, and you pay a middleman to wire it up, again.
- Third-party agents show up anyway, negotiating against you with data you don't control.
- A customer tells ChatGPT “I need an oil change, what else is due?” Her agent finds your store, knows her 15,000-mile service, schedules a real slot and doesn't upsell her.
- One BDC rep points an agent at the CRM, works every open opportunity overnight, and does the job of five.
- Your team builds the tool they need in an afternoon, because the connection is already there.
Nobody can force a vendor’s roadmap. What moves vendors is dealers asking, and everyone being able to see who has shipped. Why it matters →
How it works.
We are not asking anyone to reshape their data. We are asking every tool to open a door agents can use, and agreeing only on the few things tools need to talk to each other.
Agent-ready tools
Every vendor opens a door agents can use: an MCP server, or a secure, documented API. No data reshaping required, and no single protocol required either.
How to build one →The handshake
How one tool tells the next “this customer authorized me” without passing around their email or phone, and how their consent to be contacted travels with them.
How the handshake works →The gateway
One open front door for agents on the dealer website. Any website company can host it, and dealers plug in whichever tools they already use.

Dealers
Know which of your vendors are agent-ready, and what to ask the ones that aren't. Free, always.
Vendors
Open your product to agents with an MCP or a documented API, get listed, and get found by every dealer and builder looking.
Website companies
Host the open gateway instead of building and supporting your own agent front door.
Builders
Connect your agent to dealer tools without a two-quarter integration project first.
This isn’t a deck.
The tooling is published and the hardest part already runs. Use it today, whether or not you ever join.
A head start for builders
Recommended tools and data shapes for inventory, leads, service, deals and more, with versioned JSON schemas you can validate against right now.
Open the docs →Portable consent, running live
A customer’s permission travels with them and every tool can verify it. Real cryptography, in your browser, and you can break it yourself.
Try the live demo →Built on a real foundation
MCP is the protocol ChatGPT, Claude and the agent platforms already speak, now a Linux Foundation project backed by Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft and AWS.

AutomotiveMCP Brief #001: Shopify and Google open up to AI agents, and our test kit passes 9,900 calls
Issue one of our Brief: Shopify makes every store agent-ready, Google opens Gemini and Search to MCP servers, 9,916 tool calls on our test kit, and five things dealers should do this week.

The council publishes RFC v0.1 of a vendor-neutral specification for connecting AI agents to dealership systems over the Model Context Protocol, and opens founding-partner recruitment.
Oct 12, 2026Making every dealer tool agent-ready
AI agents are already shopping for your customers. Most dealer tools can't talk to them yet. Here's what we're doing about it, and why it's a movement, not just a spec.
Agent-ready, and you can prove it.
A free conformance check tells you whether agents can actually use your MCP server, and the result can’t be bought. We’re preparing the test tool for public release so anyone can re-run it against a live server.
Started by Alex Oleynik, David Ortiz, Gray Scott, Brian Pasch & Daniel Kim.
Founding members shape what “agent-ready” means before everyone else adopts it. We’ll be talking about it at Claude for Dealers in Atlanta this January.
Dealers
Tell us what an agent should be able to do in your store, and get the language that makes agent-readiness a requirement for the vendors you already pay.
Join as a dealerVendors
Build your MCP alongside the rest of the industry instead of guessing at it alone, and be listed among the companies that opened up first.
Join as a vendorWhere the work happens.
The forum is where builders compare notes: what broke connecting a particular DMS, how to map a field that does not fit, what a real implementation actually took. Every vendor in the directory has its own space.
Get agent-ready.
Dealers join free and find out which vendors are ready. Vendors ship an MCP and get listed. Builders get open tooling and a working demo to build against today.
