Frequently asked questions
PartsTech scores D+ on Supergood's API Report Card. PartsTech runs a real API gateway with a published OpenAPI contract covering catalog search, VIN lookup and partner callbacks. Getting production credentials, however, runs through a partner integration process, with no sandbox and no listed SDKs.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.
PartsTech is a parts procurement platform for automotive repair shops. Shops search a single lookup across their connected parts and tire suppliers, compare availability and price, then place orders without leaving the workflow.
Automotive aftermarket, specifically independent repair shops, tire shops and multi location service operations that order parts daily, along with the shop management and dealership software vendors that embed PartsTech parts search and punchout ordering into their own products. A shop identifies a vehicle by license plate, VIN or year, make and model, searches parts across every connected supplier in one lookup, compares price and availability, then builds a cart and submits the order to the chosen supplier.
PartsTech is an established parts and tire ordering network in the independent automotive repair market, promoting unlimited supplier connections and a stated network of over 30 tire suppliers on its pricing page, though no audited shop or supplier counts are published in the sources reviewed.
Parts and tire catalog data across the shop's connected supplier accounts, supplier specific availability and pricing, part interchange relationships, vehicle identification data from VIN and license plate lookups, vehicle taxonomy such as years, models and engines, plus shop side transactional records: punchout carts, tire quotes, submitted and purchased orders, and the supplier account connection credentials exchanged during auto connect.
The platform is a cloud product with a modern HTTP surface.

Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Not that we could find. There is no official PartsTech MCP server in any public registry, and no maintained community server we're aware of. We re-verify this periodically — report an inaccuracy below if we missed one.
Not natively. PartsTech doesn't publish an MCP server, so MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex have nothing to connect to out of the box. If that changes, this page will reflect it.
