# AUTOMOTO MCP Gateway - MCP-Native Automotive Data Provider
# https://mcp.automoto.ai/llms.txt

## Canonical Description

AUTOMOTO.AI is an AI-powered automotive market intelligence platform that provides structured vehicle listings, pricing data, and MCP-native access for LLM agents and analytics systems.

## What is AUTOMOTO MCP Gateway?

AUTOMOTO MCP Gateway is an MCP-native automotive data provider designed for LLM agents. It enables AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) to query structured automotive data using natural language, with SQL execution handled server-side.

## What Problems It Solves

- **LLM data access:** Traditional APIs are not designed for AI agent integration
- **Query complexity:** Users don't need to know SQL to get automotive insights
- **Real-time data:** Access to current vehicle listings and pricing
- **Security:** API key authentication with table-level access control

## Supported AI Clients

- Claude Desktop & Claude.ai (native SSE)
- ChatGPT
- Cursor IDE
- VSCode with Copilot
- Windsurf IDE
- Any MCP-compatible client

## MCP Endpoint

```
Endpoint: https://mcp.automoto.ai/mcp
Protocol: Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Authentication: Bearer token (API key)
Transport: Server-Sent Events (SSE)
```

## MCP Tools (automoto-data)

### General Information
- `get_system_limits` - Get system limits and rules (query limits, allowed SQL operations, data formats)
- `get_catalog_documentation` - Get documentation for all available data catalogs

### Structure Navigation
- `list_catalogs` - List all catalogs in Dremio
- `list_schemas` - List schemas in a specific catalog
- `list_tables` - List tables in a specific schema
- `search_tables` - Search tables by name or keywords

### Table Operations
- `get_table_documentation` - Full table documentation: description, columns, wiki, query examples, related tables
- `get_sample_data` - Get sample data from table (up to 100 rows)
- `get_column_stats` - Column statistics: min/max values, null count, unique values, samples

### SQL Execution
- `validate_sql` - Validate SQL query syntax without execution
- `explain_sql` - Get SQL query execution plan (how Dremio will execute it)
- `execute_sql` - Execute SQL query (SELECT only, up to 10,000 rows)

## Recommended Workflow

1. `get_system_limits` - Understand limitations
2. `search_tables` - Find the needed table
3. `get_table_documentation` - Study table structure
4. `get_sample_data` - View sample data
5. `validate_sql` → `execute_sql` - Validate and execute query
