README
# 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](https://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 ```bash 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). ## License MIT — see [LICENSE](LICENSE).
