Introduction

Connect AI agents to your Tesla with the Teslemetry MCP server

Overview

The Teslemetry Model Context Protocol (MCP) server lets AI agents like Claude and ChatGPT read and control your Tesla vehicles and energy products through natural language. Ask your assistant to check your battery level, precondition the cabin before you leave, or switch your Powerwall to backup mode — it talks to your Tesla through Teslemetry.

The server is hosted and always up to date at:

https://api.teslemetry.com/mcp

It uses the Streamable HTTP transport, so any MCP client that supports remote servers can connect — no software to install and nothing to run locally.

Features

  • One endpoint, every agent — a single hosted URL works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and any other MCP-compatible client.
  • One‑click sign‑in — clients that support OAuth register themselves automatically and walk you through a consent screen. No copying tokens.
  • Read without waking — telemetry and product discovery are served from cache, so they never wake your car or cost credits.
  • Full command access — every vehicle and energy command available through the Fleet API is exposed to the agent.
  • Multi‑region — the endpoint automatically routes to the correct regional cluster for your account.

How it works

When you connect an agent, it can call a small set of tools on the server:

ToolWhat it doesCost
productsLists your vehicles and energy sites with their capabilities. Call first to discover VINs and site IDs.Free, cache‑only
get_vehicle_telemetryReturns the latest cached Fleet Telemetry for a vehicle, optionally filtered to specific fields.Free, never wakes the car
list_commandsLists every available vehicle and energy command and its parameters.Free
send_commandInvokes any command by name (e.g. command_door_lock, energy_backup).May wake the vehicle and cost credits

See Tools & Safety for the full reference.

Prerequisites

You must have a Teslemetry account, an active subscription, and at least one Tesla product connected to your account.

Most vehicles require a virtual key to be installed before commands can be sent. Read‑only telemetry does not require a virtual key.

Agents can control your car
Connecting an agent grants it the same control over your Tesla products that you have, including commands that wake the vehicle and consume credits. Only connect agents and accounts you trust, and review what your agent is doing.
