What can the assistant do to my car?

Only what you allow in TeslaMateApi: commands are off unless you set ENABLE_COMMANDS and allow them there. Then it can wake the car, flash the lights, honk, start or stop charging, open or close the charge port and turn the climate on or off, each after your approval. Doors, trunk and frunk, windows, remote start, sentry mode, the charge limit, the climate temperature and other commands are left out on purpose.

Does the assistant see where my car is?

By default it sees the place name TeslaMate shows, not the exact GPS position; that only comes when it asks for the full status. A drive’s GPS trail and a charge’s curve are left out.

Why do commands fail on my newer Tesla?

Newer cars take commands only through Tesla’s vehicle-command proxy, which TeslaMateApi has to be set up to use (TESLA_API_HOST). A sleeping car must also be woken first; it takes up to 30 seconds to come online.

Which AI assistants can use TeslaMate through Flowplane?

Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot and Mistral Le Chat, and any other client that supports remote MCP servers with sign-in. They all reach TeslaMate through the same Flowplane address.

Free for one person, with up to three apps and five assistants. Personal Pro is €9 a month including VAT; companies start at €99 a month for ten active users. Prices are indicative; see the pricing page.

TeslaMate MCP server

TeslaMate is the self-hosted logger many Tesla owners run to keep their car’s data. Through Flowplane an AI assistant can read your cars’ current status, your drives and charging sessions, battery health compared with new and the software updates installed. If you allow commands in TeslaMateApi, it can also wake the car or send a short list of commands, such as starting the climate or charging, and each waits for your approval.

How it connects

Sign-in

TeslaMate is reached through TeslaMateApi, a small community service you run next to TeslaMate. You paste its address and the API_TOKEN you set for it (32 characters or more), once for the workspace. TeslaMateApi only checks the token on commands, so Flowplane cannot try it when you paste it. Flowplane keeps it sealed; the assistant never sees it.

In Flowplane: Run TeslaMateApi next to TeslaMate, then in the Flowplane console add TeslaMate and paste TeslaMateApi’s address and API token. Behind a firewall, connect it through a tunnel.

MCP

TeslaMate and MCP

TeslaMate has no official MCP server. There are community-built TeslaMate MCP servers, which you run yourself against your TeslaMate database. Flowplane talks to TeslaMateApi over plain HTTP, with no access to the database.
