auto-dev
Use when working with Auto.dev APIs, vehicle data, VIN decoding, car listings, vehicle photos, specs, recalls, payments, interest rates, taxes, OEM build data, plate-to-VIN, CLI commands, MCP tools, or SDK methods for any automotive data task
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/bryant22/auto-devAuto.dev
Automotive data for AI agents — via MCP tools, CLI commands, SDK methods, or direct API calls.
Detect Your Surface
Check in this order. Use the first one available:
1. MCP — Check if auto_decode is in your available tools.
If yes: use auto_* tools for everything. Do NOT make raw HTTP calls.
To install: npx @auto.dev/sdk mcp install (installs globally and configures Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code Copilot, Cline, Zed).
2. CLI — Run auto --version.
If installed: authenticate once with auto login (OAuth — no API key needed), then use auto commands.
To install: npm install -g @auto.dev/sdk or use npx @auto.dev/sdk <command> without installing.
3. SDK — Check if @auto.dev/sdk is in project dependencies.
If yes: use typed SDK methods. See code-patterns.md for all methods.
To install: npm install @auto.dev/sdk
4. Direct API — Check for AUTODEV_API_KEY env var.
If not set: ask the user for it or direct them to https://auto.dev/pricing (free Starter plan).
MCP Tools
If MCP tools are available, this is your only section. Use auto_docs to look up
parameters and response shapes before calling an unfamiliar endpoint.
auto_docs listings # see all listing filters
auto_docs payments # see payment params
auto_docs vin-decode # see VIN decode response shape
| Tool | Description | Plan |
|---|---|---|
auto_decode | Decode a VIN | Starter |
auto_listings | Search listings with filters | Starter |
auto_photos | Get vehicle photos | Starter |
auto_specs | Vehicle specifications | Growth |
auto_build | OEM build data ($0.10/call) | Growth |
auto_recalls | Safety recalls | Growth |
auto_payments | Payment calculations | Growth |
auto_apr | Interest rates | Growth |
auto_tco | Total cost of ownership | Growth |
auto_open_recalls | Open/unresolved recalls | Scale |
auto_plate | Plate to VIN ($0.55/call) | Scale |
auto_taxes | Taxes and fees | Scale |
auto_docs | Search bundled API documentation | — |
auto_config_set | Set a config value (e.g. raw: true) | — |
auto_config_get | Get a config value or list all settings | — |
API metadata is stripped from MCP tool responses by default. Use auto_config_set with key: "raw" and value: "true" to get full responses.
If MCP tools are available, skip to Important Rules below.
