CarMaker

io.github.De-Ioannidis/carmaker-mcpv0.2.1Cloud Storage

Drive IPG CarMaker for Simulink: run test runs, read results, edit vehicle data and parameters.

The current version, v0.2.1, was published to the official MCP registry on 2026-10-15. It is distributed as carmaker-mcp on PyPI, filed under Cloud Storage by this index, and declares 6 environment variables. Removals and unreachable sources are measured across every server this index tracks, contract drift across the servers that answer in consecutive snapshots; the index's current counts put this record in context.

In-path gate · all MCP tools

Using CarMaker in Claude, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Cline, or Zed?

MCP tool contracts can change remotely with no version bump. The mcpindex gate pins each contract and HOLDs the call when it drifts-before your agent acts. Zero credentials. This is not the package install for this server itself (use Install this server for that).

Rewrites your MCP host config so each server launches behind the gate. Inspect first: curl -fsSL https://mcpindex.ai/install.sh | less

Limits of this verdict

- Semantic screen only - the deterministic conformance probe has not run on this server
- Confidence is reported but not yet calibrated (v1)
- Screen reads the tool description, not the live behavior
- advisory
- registry description only no input schema
- screen model 8b
- The registry listing (version, packages, links) changed after this screen ran - the description we assessed did not

Semantic screen: an LLM judge reads the tool description for hidden instructions (status PARTIAL). A pass means the description is not lying, not that the tool is safe: a high-capability tool with an honest description still warrants caution. The deterministic conformance probe has not been run on this server yet, so the screen here is semantic-only. Posture: advisory. Confidences are reported but not yet calibrated (calibrated=false at v1). Full verdict history is not shown on this page.

Own this server? Test a description on the public screen → It is a separate check from the verdict above, so the two can differ.

That verdict was true at screening time (snapshot 2026-10-19).

Contracts can change after screening, with no version bump. The gate pins CarMaker’s tool contracts on first sight and holds any silent change before your agent acts - the check that keeps being true on Tuesday.

Cite this record

People vet a server before wiring it in. One line on your project site or docs answers that with an independent record: screening verdict, registry provenance, contract drift history. It stays current as new screens and drift events land.

Environment variables

CM_PROJECT

required

CarMaker project folder. All writes are confined to it.

CM_MODEL

Simulink model that cm_session_start opens (name on the MATLAB path, or a file).

CM_MATLAB_SESSION

Name under which MATLAB shares its engine.

CM_POPUP_TIMEOUT

Seconds after which CarMaker GUI pop-ups answer themselves with their default choice. Not set: they wait for a click.

CM_ENABLE

Optional tools, comma separated: tcl (raw Tcl in the GUI), experimental (Simulink structure edits).

CM_DISABLE

Tool groups to switch off, comma separated: standalone, study, matlab.

Provenance

Each verdict is bound to a hash of the exact description it judged, so a re-crawl that changes the text produces a new record rather than silently inheriting this one. Verdict history is hash-chained and anchored to Bitcoin via OpenTimestamps (latest confirmed at block 972,115). Verify it yourself.
