Add CarRentalList to Claude Code
- Run this in a terminal:
claude mcp add --transport http carrentallist https://mcp.carrentallist.com/mcp
- Add
--scope userto use it in every project, not only the current one. - Check with
claude mcp list, or/mcpinside a session.
Check that it works
Ask “Use CarRentalList: what is the median daily rate of a Ferrari 296 in Las Vegas?”. Claude Code calls price_overview.
Every answer carries the date of the data (as_of) and links to the carrentallist.com pages of the cars and companies it mentions.
Troubleshooting
- claude mcp list shows the server as failed
- The machine needs outbound HTTPS to mcp.carrentallist.com; behind a proxy, set HTTPS_PROXY before starting claude.
- The server is missing in another project
- It was added with the default local scope; remove it and add it again with
--scope user.
What it can answer
The server's tools cover cars with published daily rates, where a model can be rented, rate statistics, companies and their rental terms, catalog highlights, the monthly company ranking and exotic car news: see the tools reference and the example answers.
