Ask with this source

A prompt for your agent that names this source and how to call it through the crw MCP.

  • All vehicle makes

    Use NHTSA vPIC (vpic) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "All vehicle makes" (all-makes). You need the canonical list of makes, or the Make_ID for a make name before calling an id-based lookup. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "vpic" and capability "all-makes". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>

  • All manufacturers

    Use NHTSA vPIC (vpic) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "All manufacturers" (all-manufacturers). You want to enumerate registered vehicle manufacturers, or find a manufacturer id to use in the other manufacturer lookups. Example options: ManufacturerType=Intermediate, page=2. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "vpic" and capability "all-manufacturers". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>

  • Canadian vehicle specifications

Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "vpic" and capability "canadian-specs". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>
