Tessie MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that wraps the Tessie API so LLM clients (Cursor, Claude, etc.) can query and control a configured Tesla using efficient, focused API endpoints.

Status

• Telemetry: Fully implemented with both legacy (full state) and new specialized endpoints for efficient data retrieval.

• Control: honk_horn and flash_lights are live and functional. Lock/unlock and climate control are scaffolded.

• Breaking change: Now uses VIN instead of license plate for vehicle identification.

• Breaking changes are possible until the first stable tag is cut.

Quick Start

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Configure environment
cp .env.example .env

Edit .env and set your Tessie API token and vehicle VIN:

TESSIE_TOKEN=your_tessie_api_token_here
VEHICLE_VIN=5YJ3E1EA1KF123456  # Your Tesla VIN
TELEMETRY_INTERVAL=5           # minutes; use 'realtime' to skip caching

Run the server (STDIO by default):

python -m src.server

Remote/SSE mode (for network clients):

python -m src.server --transport sse --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

What To Expect

• New Specialized Telemetry Endpoints: Efficient, focused API calls for battery, battery health, location, tire pressure, and vehicle status.

• Legacy Telemetry Tools: Full vehicle state fetch with all traditional metrics still available.

• Working Control Actions: honk_horn and flash_lights execute real commands on your Tesla.

• Tessie-backed auth and caching; respects refresh intervals from .env.

• VIN-based vehicle identification for improved reliability.

Repo Layout

• src/server.py — MCP entrypoint; loads telemetry + control tools, handles VIN configuration.

• src/telemetry/service.py — Telemetry retrieval with caching and specialized endpoint methods.

• src/telemetry/tools.py — Telemetry tool registry/dispatch (new + legacy tools).

• src/control/service.py — Control actions with real implementations for honk/flash.

• src/control/tools.py — Control tool registry/dispatch.

• src/tessie_client.py — Tessie REST client with VIN-based endpoints for telemetry and control.

Available Tools

New Specialized Telemetry (Recommended)

• get_battery_information — Battery level, drain, energy, voltage, current, temperature

• get_battery_health_information — Battery capacity and max range

• get_location_information — GPS coordinates with address

• get_tire_pressure_information — All tire pressures with status

• get_vehicle_status — Sleep/wake status

Control (Live)

• honk_horn — Honk the vehicle horn (⚠️ real action)

• flash_lights — Flash the vehicle lights (⚠️ real action)

Roadmap

• Complete lock/unlock door control

• Implement climate control (start/stop)

• Add charging control

• Trunk/frunk control
