Tesla MCP, send a destination to your car and control it in plain language

Talk to your Tesla from Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client. It runs on the official Tesla Fleet API, with your own Tesla account (OAuth) and no third-party relay in the middle. The highlight is navigation: "send this address to my car" puts the route on the car's screen, from a street address, coordinates or the nearest Supercharger. It also reads battery, range, charging, climate, locks and location, and runs commands: lock and unlock, climate on/off and temperature, start/stop charging and charge limit, honk and flash. Commands are signed with Tesla's Vehicle Command Protocol. Pay per use with prepaid credits. Not affiliated with Tesla.

🧭 Send a destination to the car: street address, coordinates or the nearest Supercharger, straight to the car's navigation
🔋 Battery, range and charging: state of charge, range in km, charging status, limit and time to full
📍 Location: where the car is, heading and speed, and the active route destination
❄️ Climate: turn it on or off and set the temperature before you leave
🔒 Locks, honk and lights: lock, unlock (with a confirmation step), honk or flash to find it in a parking lot
😴 Sleep-aware: reads never wake the car unless you ask; commands wake it only when needed
💬 Works with any MCP client: Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Cline, Continue

Before connecting, three honest notes

Commands need the virtual key. After you authorize, open https://www.tesla.com/_ak/api.mcp.ai on your phone (Tesla app installed) and approve the key for each car. Reads work without it; commands do not.
Regions. The Tesla Fleet API serves accounts in North America/Asia-Pacific and Europe. Accounts in other regions (for example Brazil) may not connect.
Sleeping cars. Reads never wake the car on their own, because waking costs more and uses battery. Ask for it (acordar: true) or just send a command, which wakes the car when it has to.

Pricing

Prepaid credit wallet, pay per use. See docs/precos.md (PT-BR).

Privacy & data protection

Sub-processors: Tesla, Inc., the LLM host you choose (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, your own agent). Full list in docs/privacidade-lgpd.md.
Data returned by the tools is sent to the LLM host you choose, a sub-processor outside our control. We recommend plans with training opt-out.

FAQ

Is this Tesla's official MCP? No. This is an independent MCP that talks to Tesla's official Fleet API with your own Tesla account. It is not affiliated with Tesla and does not imply a partnership. Tesla is a trademark of its owner, cited here nominatively.

Is there a third party between me and my car? No relay service like Tessie or Teslemetry. Calls go from the mcp.ai server straight to the Tesla Fleet API, and commands are signed with Tesla's Vehicle Command Protocol using our app key, which you approve on your phone.

Why does a command fail on my car? Almost always the virtual key is not paired yet. Open https://www.tesla.com/_ak/api.mcp.ai on your phone with the Tesla app installed and approve it for that car. The tool returns this link when it happens.

Where are my tokens stored? Encrypted, and used only to call the Tesla Fleet API. They never show up in a tool response or in logs. You can revoke access anytime in your Tesla account.

How much does it cost? Pay per use with prepaid credits, priced on Tesla's own per-request fees (data, command, wake). Your first calls are free to try it.
