Rivian MCP

Read-only MCP server for Rivian's undocumented GraphQL API. Check your vehicle's battery, range, OTA updates, charging status, and more — right from Claude.

Strictly read-only — no vehicle commands, no settings changes.

Setup

claude mcp add rivian \
  -e RIVIAN_EMAIL=your@email.com \
  -e RIVIAN_PASSWORD=your-password \
  -- npx rivian-mcp

Manual config

Add to ~/.claude.json or your project's .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rivian": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["rivian-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "RIVIAN_EMAIL": "your@email.com",
        "RIVIAN_PASSWORD": "your-password"
      }
    }
  }
}

First-time login

Rivian requires 2FA on every new login:

Ask Claude: "Log in to Rivian"
Rivian sends a verification code to your phone/email
Tell Claude the code: "The code is 123456"

Your session is saved to ~/.rivian-mcp/session.json and reused automatically until it expires (7 days).

"What's my battery level?"
"Is there a software update available?"
"Are all the doors locked?"
