This skill should be used when the user asks about their Kia vehicle through the Kia Access / Kia Owners account. Triggers on phrases like "is the car locked", "unlock the Kia", "start the car's climate", "warm up the car", "where is my car", "what's the EV charge at", "check the car's battery", "lock the doors", or any request to read or command a Kia vehicle.

MCP server for the Kia Owners API used by the Kia Access app — vehicle status, location, EV charge state, and confirm-gated door, climate, and charging commands, using the user's own Kia account.
Add to .mcp.json in your project or ~/.claude/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"kiaaccess": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "kiaaccess-mcp"],
"env": {
"KIA_USERNAME": "you@example.com",
"KIA_PASSWORD": "your-password",
"KIA_WRITE_MODE": "comfort"
}
}
}
}
KIA_WRITE_MODE decides which command tools are registered at all: none (reads only), comfort (climate + charging, the default), all (also door lock/unlock). An unrecognised value fails closed to none.
Kia challenges each new device once. Start with kia_session_status; if it reports hasSession: false:
kia_start_login with confirm: true → returns otpKey + xid and the masked destinations Kia has on file.kia_send_otp(otpKey, xid, notifyType) — ask the user whether they can read SMS or EMAIL right now. The code expires in ~2 minutes.kia_verify_otp(otpKey, xid, otp) — same otpKey/xid, plus the code the user received.kia_list_vehicles to confirm, and to get the vehicleKey every other tool needs.The remember-me token is then stored locally and refreshes sessions silently forever; MFA is never needed again on that machine. kia_forget_session (confirm-gated) throws it away so the bootstrap can be repeated.
If a login is rejected, STOP. Kia counts failed logins and eventually enforces reCAPTCHA, which breaks server-side login for that account permanently. Tell the user to check the credentials in the Kia Access app and fix the environment — never retry with a guessed password.
| Tool | Notes |
|---|---|
kia_session_status | Configured? Bootstrapped? Which write mode? No network call, no secrets. Start here when a tool says it is not configured. |
kia_start_login / kia_send_otp / kia_verify_otp | The three bootstrap steps above. |
kia_forget_session(confirm) | Deletes the locally stored session. Local only — Kia is not contacted. |
kia_export_refresh_token(confirm) | Returns the rmtoken in plaintext — a full MFA bypass. Only for moving a session into the hosted connector. Never call it to "check the session"; use kia_session_status. |
| Tool | Notes |
|---|---|
kia_list_vehicles | Enrolled vehicles with vehicleKey, nickname, model, mileage. VINs masked to 6 chars. |
kia_vehicle_status(vehicle_key, include_raw?) | Cached status: doorLock, ign3, the nested climate block, and (with include_raw) battery/EV detail, doors, tyres. |
kia_refresh_status(vehicle_key) | Wakes the telematics unit. Slow, draws power, returns no data — re-read kia_vehicle_status after. |
kia_vehicle_location(vehicle_key) | Last reported position + map link. Not a live fix. |
kia_charge_targets(vinKey) | Target state of charge per plug type. |
confirm)| Tool | Mode | Notes |
|---|---|---|
kia_start_climate(vinKey, temperature?, durationMinutes?, defrost?, waitSeconds?, confirm) | comfort | Verified live. Temperature is best-effort — do not promise the user an exact cabin temperature. |
kia_stop_climate(vinKey, waitSeconds?, confirm) | comfort | Verified live. |
kia_start_charge / kia_stop_charge / kia_set_charge_limits | comfort | Unverified endpoints — never exercised against a real car. Say so when reporting the result. Only kia_set_charge_limits can be checked afterwards. |
kia_lock_doors(vinKey, waitSeconds?, confirm) | all | Verified live by re-reading doorLock. |
kia_unlock_doors(vinKey, waitSeconds?, confirm) | all | Leaves the car unsecured. Only when the user explicitly asked for this vehicle. |
confirm: true nothing happens. The tool makes no network call and returns dryRun: true with the exact request it would send. Show the user that preview; never describe a dry run as if the car acted.commandAccepted ≠ stateConfirmed. Kia returning success only means the request was accepted. Only stateConfirmed: true means the car actually reads locked / unlocked / climate-on. Changes take 30–60 seconds; waitSeconds controls how long the tool keeps re-reading.stateConfirmed: false is not "it failed" — it means the tool stopped waiting. Say exactly that, and offer to re-read kia_vehicle_status.engine stays false with the climate running. ign3 is the ignition proxy. Never report the car as off because engine is false.syncDate advances on every read and proves nothing changed.vehicleKey. Call kia_list_vehicles first.rmtoken, or a session id into the conversation.kia_refresh_status, wait, then re-read.This skill should be used when the user asks about their Kia vehicle through the Kia Access / Kia Owners account. Triggers on phrases like "is the car locked", "unlock the Kia", "start the car's climate", "warm up the car", "where is my car", "what's the EV charge at", "check the car's battery", "lock the doors", or any request to read or command a Kia vehicle.
Query and command a Kia vehicle directly with curl against the Kia Owners API (api.owners.kia.com), without running the MCP server. Use when the user wants a one-off read of their Kia's status, location, or EV charge state, or to lock/unlock/start climate from the shell — "check my Kia", "is the car locked", "what's the EV9 charge", "lock the car from the terminal". Requires KIA_USERNAME/KIA_PASSWORD and a one-time SMS/email MFA bootstrap.
