  Vehicles.dev publishes exactly one first-party package: the local stdio MCP server. There is no
  language client SDK in any registry. The docs' "Machine-readable spec" section tells consumers to
  point a client generator at https://api.vehicles.dev/openapi.json rather than install a vendor
  library, so the absence of SDKs is the provider's documented posture, not a harvest gap.

sdk_count: 0
sdk_note: >-
  Zero client SDKs. vehicles-dev-mcp is a runnable stdio server binary for MCP clients, not a
  language client library, so it is NOT counted as an SDK and no `SDKs` pointer is emitted.
