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:

1. Register an app at developer.tesla.com
2. Generate OAuth tokens — use Tesla's token generation flow
3. 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,   │

└─────────────┘     └──────────────┘

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%.
