Ask your AI assistant about our cars
Connect your AI assistant to MotorLoop and it can search our live listings, answer questions about any car, and hand you a direct link — like giving it a phone line to our showroom.

Your assistant does the browsing for you
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard — think of it as a universal plug that lets AI assistants talk to websites. You ask in plain English; your assistant checks our live stock and answers with real cars and real links.

Everything your assistant can do
You never call these by name — ask in plain language and the assistant picks the right one. They’re listed so you know what is and isn’t possible.
Searching & browsingNO TOKEN+–
- search_vehicles
- Search and filter this storefront, with paging.“Find diesel utes under $40,000 with less than 100,000 km.”
- get_vehicle
- One listing's full detail, by link or id.“Tell me everything about this car: <paste a listing link>”
- get_search_options
- Every make, body type, price range and custom field this storefront uses.“What can I filter by on this site?”
- get_vehicle_comments
- Public comments and the star rating on a listing.“What have people said about this one?”
- list_storefronts
- Other MotorLoop storefronts and their connection addresses.“What other MotorLoop dealers can you search?”
Managing your listingsTOKEN+–
- my_vehicles
- Your own listings in any status, including drafts, with all their details.“Show me my drafts.”
- create_vehicle
- Create one listing. Always a draft.“List my 2019 Mazda CX-5, 68,000 km, $28,500, in VIC.”
- create_vehicles
- Bulk import up to 25 at once. Nothing is created unless every row is valid.“Import the cars in this spreadsheet.”
- update_vehicle
- Change a listing. Replaces the details, so the assistant should read it first.“Drop the price on the CX-5 to $27,000.”
- set_vehicle_status
- Publish, unpublish, or mark sold.“Publish the CX-5.” · “Mark the Corolla as sold.”
- delete_vehicle
- Delete a listing — only if this storefront has switched that on, and it is off by default.“Delete the Corolla listing.”
Not possible — on purpose+–
Uploading photos, publishing as part of an import, buying, messaging or making offers. Each one keeps a person between an assistant and something irreversible. Deleting is off unless a storefront admin enables it — everything else an assistant does here can be undone by the seller, and a deletion cannot.
Questions
Common questions
Is this safe?+–
Without a token it’s read-only — your assistant sees exactly the public listings anyone sees on this website, nothing more. With a token it can only touch your own listings, and everything it creates is a draft you review first.
Does it cost anything?+–
No. Searching is free and needs no account. Requests are rate-limited, so it’s for shopping, not scraping.
What's MCP, actually?+–
Model Context Protocol — an open standard (originally from Anthropic) that lets AI assistants connect to live services, the way USB-C lets any charger fit any phone. Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and most modern assistants speak it.
Which assistants work?+–
Any MCP-capable client over streamable HTTP: Claude (claude.ai and Claude Code), ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf and others. OpenAPI-only tools can front the endpoint with the open-source mcpo proxy.
The fine print
- Read-only: assistants can browse, not post, message or make offers.
- Public listing data only — nothing you couldn't see on this website.
- Requests are rate-limited; heavy automated scraping isn't what this is for.
- Listing descriptions are written by sellers — your assistant treats them as data, not instructions.
