This MCP server package decodes US vehicle VINs and looks up open NHTSA safety recall campaigns for the corresponding vehicle. It is implemented as a Node/Express project (with package.json, src/, and evals/). The repository readme describes the server’s architecture, tool contracts, install instructions, caveats, and how to run its eval suite.
