CHARM — OEM Automotive Data for AI Agents (MCP)
CHARM is an MCP server that gives AI agents authoritative OEM automotive repair data — factory service-manual part numbers, torque specs, fluid capacities, and procedures for vehicles 1982–2013, across 80+ makes.
Answers come straight from OEM factory service manuals, not a model's memory — so they're verifiable and source-attributed, not hallucinated. When a part number is identified, CHARM also returns links to purchase that exact part.
Built to be called by AI agents — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and beyond.

Then just ask naturally:
What's the front brake caliper part number for a 2009 Ford Taurus X, and where can I buy it?
What's the spark plug gap for a 2001 Toyota Camry?
