01Benefits

Everything you need,
nothing you don't

The same coding engine that powers MBTools — exposed as a clean, documented API. Built for developers who want to focus on their product, not on protocol reverse-engineering.

⚡

Ship in hours, not months

A single REST endpoint replaces months of reverse-engineering proprietary protocols. Authenticate, send a job, poll status — that's the whole integration.

🔧

Full activation catalog

Every coding option available on the MBTools platform is exposed through the API. Map Pins, VIN decoding, CarPlay, AMG Menu, Video in Motion, Airmatic, navigation maps — all of it.

🤖

Build any front-end

Web dashboards, native mobile apps, Telegram bots, Discord servers, internal tools. The API doesn't care where the request comes from.

🔐

Secure by default

API keys with scoped permissions, rate limiting, signed webhooks for job updates, and TLS everywhere. Audit logs on every request.

📊

White-label ready

No MBTools branding in API responses. Resell activations under your own brand, set your own prices, keep your customer relationship.

🌍

Global, low-latency

Edge endpoints in Europe, North America, and Asia. Average response time under 200ms for status calls, with async job processing for activations.

Full OpenAPI 3.1 specification, official SDKs for Node.js, Python, Go, and PHP, plus a Postman collection — all available on launch.

02Example

One GET request,
one activation

Pass the vehicle parameters and your API key, get back a ready-to-use value. Same pattern across the entire catalog — no SDK lock-in, works from any language that can make an HTTP call.

# Request a navigation map PIN for a vehicle
curl "https://api.mbtools.com/map?hu=6&region=eu&version=v25&vin=WDD2050461F123456&apiKey=$MBTOOLS_API_KEY"

# Response: 200 OK
# { "pin": "J2F7FT" }
JSON response

The endpoint returns a single PIN value, ready to deliver to your customer:

{ "pin": "J2F7FT" }

Parameters. hu head-unit version, region map region (eu, na, asia), version map dataset, and the vehicle vin.

Full reference to be provided by your dedicated support agent - every endpoint, parameter, error code, and rate limit documented.
