Purpose

The MarketCheck MCP server provides the live inventory and market data APIs that power all lending fit calculations, LTV spot-checks, and floor plan analysis in this plugin. Without it, skills can only describe what they would analyze — they cannot pull real dealer inventory or pricing data.

/setup-mcp writes the MarketCheck server configuration to your Claude Code MCP config file, merging it with any existing MCP servers. After restarting Claude Code, all mcp__marketcheck__* tools are available and every skill runs with live data.
