search_vehicles
shallowapp.opendealer/mcp · Verify this server
Search for vehicles across dealerships (Meilisearch-backed NL + structured filters). Preferred tool order for assistants: 1. list_facets or list_research_makes/list_research_models to discover valid values 2. filter_vehicles when make/model/year/price/location are known (exact hard filters) 3. search_vehicles with q for prose/conceptual queries (optionally useLlmSearchPath=true) 4. get_vehicle / get_deal_score / research_model for depth When the ask implies analysis (good deal?, safety, budget, timing, dealer plan), continue with a shopping playbook from initialize instructions or resource opendealer://assistant/shopping-playbooks — do not stop at raw search results. Location modes (choose ONE): zip+radius, lat+lng+radius, city+state+radius, county+state+radius — or embed location in q. Forgiving matching: model variants, color families, typo tolerance. Hard caps (price_max, year, radius) are never relaxed. mode=hybrid for conceptual queries. CRITICAL: CITE: Each vehicle's cite object is `vin` + `url` (canonical opendealer.shop VDP). Cite only `url` to shoppers. Never invent VDP URLs. Never cite `detailsUrl` (dealer/LotLinx). Never send shoppers to `/llm/*` HTML or `/v1/llm/*` as the human listing URL.
