ShippingPOST /api/v1/quotes/catalogMCP tool
Livequotes.catalogExposed on: REST API · Shop MCP server · Claude connector · Dash (in-app copilot) · Zapier. Part of the Quotes domain.
Operating contract
The shop's live price book: every active service, its category, its description, its default duration and its price — including the per-vehicle-size tiers for services priced by car size.
This is what a quote is built FROM, and it is the honest source for 'what do you charge for X'. Do not quote a price from a shop's website, an old message, or memory; read it here.
A tiered service has no single price. Pick the tier matching the car's vehicle_type (from vehicles.get), and if you do not know the vehicle type, ask rather than picking the cheapest.
Inactive and deleted services are not returned, so anything missing is something the shop stopped selling.
Who may call it
- Permission
quotes.accessThe caller must hold Quotes at the ACT level. A read-only dashboard grant on the same section is refused.- Plan
- Every planNo plan gate. Available on every Service VIN plan.
- Retries
naturalNaturally idempotent — running it twice leaves the same world as running it once. A retrying integration needs no key.- Rate class
readCounted against the read budget — the widest of the four.
Input
This capability takes no arguments.

Examples
Built from this capability's own schema — required fields and the ones carrying a default, and nothing invented. Paste one and it validates.

The four gates run in this order on every surface, and the order is not arbitrary — see Authentication.
| Status | Code | When |
|---|---|---|
| 404 | not_found | The id is unknown, or the feature is not enabled for this account. Deliberately the same answer for both. |
| 403 | forbidden | This login does not hold quotes.access. |
| 422 | validation_error | An argument was wrong. The message names the field. |
| 429 | rate_limited | Too many read calls. Back off and retry. |
| 500 | internal_error | Something failed on our side. Nothing was changed. |
