The Machine Record MCP server

Which MCP servers are The Machine Record's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Registry namecom.themachinerecord/registerverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under themachinerecord.com. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

On 2026-10-29 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 334 ms.

  • Whether its tools do the product's job has not been judged yet.
  • Checked on 4 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

What an agent can do with it

  • not sure · Search operator crash narratives for specific scenes like crosswalks
  • not sure · Follow a company's recalls, lawsuits and settlements in one case file
  • cannot · Get a weekly email digest of newly added incident cases

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?

Worth a look

None of the five warning signs in these definitions.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

  • get_case

    Full record of one case by its reference (TMR-0123) or URL slug: summary, machine, dated timeline of what each source established, the sources with their tier and archive copy, and any linked NHTSA Standing General Order report.

  • list_companies

    Every company with at least one published case: number of cases, how many went beyond the first report, and the share. Not a safety ranking: the register counts reported incidents, not incidents per machine.

  • get_company

    One company's cases with harm and escalation counts, breakdown by incident type, and the category average for comparison.

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "register": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://themachinerecord.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http themachinerecord https://themachinerecord.com/api/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://themachinerecord.com/api/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
