TeslaMate + Fleet API MCP Server

MCP server combining TeslaMate historical analytics with Fleet API live data and commands. Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client.

The first MCP server to bring both data sources together — use TeslaMate for deep analytics and Fleet API for real-time control, or configure just one.

Features

29 tools across four categories:

Category	Tools	Backend
Status & History	`tesla_status`, `tesla_drives`, `tesla_charging_history`, `tesla_battery_health`, `tesla_efficiency`, `tesla_location_history`, `tesla_state_history`, `tesla_software_updates`	TeslaMate
Analytics	`tesla_savings`, `tesla_trip_cost`, `tesla_efficiency_by_temp`, `tesla_charging_by_location`, `tesla_top_destinations`, `tesla_longest_trips`, `tesla_monthly_summary`, `tesla_vampire_drain`	TeslaMate
Live Data	`tesla_live`	Fleet API
Commands	`tesla_climate_on/off`, `tesla_set_temp`, `tesla_charge_start/stop`, `tesla_set_charge_limit`, `tesla_lock`, `tesla_unlock`, `tesla_honk`, `tesla_flash`, `tesla_trunk`, `tesla_sentry`	Fleet API

Safety: unlock and trunk commands require confirm=True. All commands are rate-limited to 40/day.

Quick Start

Claude Code (`.mcp.json`)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tesla": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/lodordev/mcp-teslamate-fleet", "mcp-teslamate-fleet"],
      "env": {
        "TESLAMATE_DB_HOST": "localhost",
        "TESLAMATE_DB_PASS": "your_password",
        "TESLA_VIN": "your_vin",
        "TESLA_TOKEN_FILE": "/path/to/tokens.json",
        "TESLA_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id",
        "TESLA_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret",
        "TESLA_PROXY_URL": "https://localhost:4443",
        "TESLA_VERIFY_SSL": "false"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop (`claude_desktop_config.json`)

Same structure — add under mcpServers.

Local install

git clone https://github.com/lodordev/mcp-teslamate-fleet
cd tesla-mcp
pip install -e .

Prerequisites

You need at least one of these backends configured. Both is ideal.

TeslaMate (analytics + history)

TeslaMate is an open-source Tesla data logger. It records driving, charging, and vehicle state to a Postgres database.

If you already run TeslaMate, you just need the database connection details. If not, see the TeslaMate installation guide.

Fleet API (live data + commands)

Tesla's Fleet API provides real-time vehicle data and remote commands. Setup requires:

Register an app at developer.tesla.com
Generate OAuth tokens — use Tesla's token generation flow
Set up the HTTP proxy — commands must be signed using the Tesla Vehicle Command Protocol. Deploy the tesla-http-proxy from that repo

The proxy is only needed for commands (tesla_climate_on, tesla_lock, etc.). tesla_live works with just a token.

Tesla provides a $10/month free credit for Fleet API, which is more than enough for personal MCP use.

Configuration

All configuration is via environment variables.

TeslaMate Database

Variable	Default	Description
`TESLAMATE_DB_HOST`	(required)	Postgres host
`TESLAMATE_DB_PORT`	`5432`	Postgres port
`TESLAMATE_DB_USER`	`teslamate`	Postgres user
`TESLAMATE_DB_PASS`	(required)	Postgres password
`TESLAMATE_DB_NAME`	`teslamate`	Database name

Fleet API

Variable	Default	Description
`TESLA_VIN`	(required)	Vehicle VIN
`TESLA_TOKEN_FILE`	(required)	Path to `tokens.json` with OAuth tokens
`TESLA_CLIENT_ID`		Fleet API client ID (for token refresh)
`TESLA_CLIENT_SECRET`		Fleet API client secret (for token refresh)
`TESLA_PROXY_URL`		HTTP proxy URL for commands
`TESLA_FLEET_URL`	NA region	Fleet API endpoint (regional options)
`TESLA_VERIFY_SSL`	`true`	Set `false` for self-signed proxy certs

Vehicle Configuration

Variable	Default	Description
`TESLA_CAR_ID`	`1`	TeslaMate car ID (for multi-car instances)
`TESLA_BATTERY_KWH`	`75`	Usable battery capacity in kWh
`TESLA_BATTERY_RANGE_KM`	`525`	EPA range at 100% in km

Energy consumption is estimated from ideal range deltas using these values. Adjust for your vehicle:

Vehicle	Battery (kWh)	Range (km)
Model 3 Standard Range	54	350
Model 3 Long Range	75	500
Model Y Long Range	75	525
Model S Long Range	100	650
Model X Long Range	100	560

Cost Defaults

These are defaults — tesla_savings and tesla_trip_cost accept per-call overrides.

Variable	Default	Description
`TESLA_ELECTRICITY_RATE`	`0.12`	Electricity cost in $/kWh
`TESLA_GAS_PRICE`	`3.50`	Gas price in $/gallon (for comparison)
`TESLA_GAS_MPG`	`28`	Comparable gas vehicle MPG

Architecture

Single-file Python server (~1400 lines) using FastMCP. Two data paths:

┌─────────────┐     ┌──────────────┐
│  TeslaMate   │────▶│   Postgres   │──┐
│  (logger)    │     │  (telemetry) │  │
└─────────────┘     └──────────────┘  │   ┌───────────┐     ┌────────────┐
                                       ├──▶│ tesla.py  │────▶│ MCP Client │
┌─────────────┐     ┌──────────────┐  │   │ (server)  │     │ (Claude,   │
│  Tesla       │────▶│ HTTP Proxy   │──┘   └───────────┘     │  Cursor)   │
│  Fleet API   │     │ (commands)   │                         └────────────┘
└─────────────┘     └──────────────┘

Limitations

Single vehicle — queries use a configurable car_id but tools don't accept it as a parameter. Multi-car users should run separate server instances.
Imperial units — output is in miles, °F, and PSI. Metric support is planned.
Estimated kWh — TeslaMate's drives table doesn't include energy consumed directly. We estimate from ideal range deltas using your configured battery capacity. Accuracy is ~90-95%.
