Confirmed live from provider's own site. Genuine, fully-specified public REST API (OpenAPI 3.1, Postman collection, JSON reference, Markdown/text twins) plus agent-native llms.txt (also /docs/llms.txt and /llms-full.txt). No MCP server (hosted or local) and no published agent skills — the provider's /docs/agents page points agents at the OpenAPI file instead. No GraphQL or AsyncAPI. Live API calls require an API key (X-API-Key header or Bearer); only docs/specs are unauthenticated. Correct API base URL is https://api.thecarapi.com (not the docs host https://thecarapi.com). Additional public artifacts: https://thecarapi.com/docs/thecarapi-api-reference.json, .md, .txt.
