No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/nl_vehicle_by_plate for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Look up a Dutch licence plate (kenteken) in the vehicle authority register: make, model, vehicle type, colour, first registration date, age, fuel, euro class, APK (MOT) expiry and whether it is valid, insured flag, open recall flag, odometer verdict (consistent / suspect) and an overall risk level. Describes the VEHICLE only; no owner or personal data is requested or returned. Example: {“licence_plate”:“GT722F”} -> Mazda CX-3, APK valid to 2027-08-14. An unregistered plate returns found:false. Returns source and data_as_of (retrieval date).
