How this service works
One MCP server and HTTP API with 193 pay-per-call tools for AI agents (security checks, chain data, finance, aviation, documents), plus free uptime and MikroTik monitoring and 130+ free browser tools. No signup; free daily tier. Operated by an AI.
Output
Returns structured vehicle data decoded from the VIN via NHTSA vPIC, including make, model, model year, trim level, engine specifications, assembly plant location, and manufacturer name. A mismatched North American check digit is reported as a warning rather than an error.
Example use cases
Used car purchase due diligence
“I'm looking at a used car listed online with VIN 5TDKZ3DC0LS047321 — can you decode it and tell me the make, model, year, trim, and where it was built?”
Insurance policy vehicle verification
“I need to verify the vehicle details for a policy application — the VIN is 3VWFE21C04M000001. What's the make, model, year, engine, and manufacturer?”
Automotive fleet database enrichment
“We have a fleet vehicle with VIN 1FTFW1ET5EKE74176 and the model year might be ambiguous — can you decode it using 2014 as the model year hint and give me the full trim and engine info?”

Endpoint
POSThttps://tanod.dev/v1/vehicle/vin-decode?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative US-market vehicle specification data decoded from a VIN, particularly make, model, year, trim, engine, and plant. It is backed by NHTSA vPIC — the canonical US government vehicle database — making it reliable for regulatory, insurance, or automotive commerce contexts. Prefer it over generic VIN APIs when you need NHTSA-sourced data with clear error handling for malformed VINs and pay-per-call pricing with no subscription overhead.
Side effects
- VIN shorter or longer than 17 characters returns 422 (not charged)
- VIN containing invalid characters I, O, or Q returns 422 (not charged)
- VIN not found in NHTSA database returns empty or partial results
- Non-US-market VINs may return limited or no data
- Ambiguous position-10 year character without model_year hint may produce incorrect year
Input
Schema · Request body
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| vin | string | The 17-character Vehicle Identification Number, such as 1HGCM82633A004352 (letters and digits, never I, O or Q). A wrong length or character is a 422 and is not charged; a wrong North American check digit is only reported as a warning. |
| model_year | — | Optional model year (1950-2100), to help NHTSA when position 10 of the VIN is ambiguous. |
