Compatibility
bluelink-mcp talks to Bluelink through hyundai_kia_connect_api, the library behind the Home Assistant Kia/Hyundai integration. What works depends on that library, your region and your car.

Features by region
Section titled “Features by region”Status, location, live refresh and the basic commands (lock, climate, charging) work in every region. Some extras don’t:
- Trips (
get_trips) work in Europe and a few other regions. - Daily energy use (
get_energy_usage) is reported by EVs and plug-in hybrids, mainly in Europe. - Charge limits are for EVs. Most plug-in hybrids don’t support them.
When a region or car doesn’t support something, the tool returns the library’s error, or an empty result, and the assistant tells you.
Vehicles
Section titled “Vehicles”Any car that works in your region’s Bluelink, Kia Connect or Genesis Connect app should work. The car’s equipment decides which fields appear in the status: a petrol car has no EV section, and a car without tyre pressure sensors has no tyres. Fields the car doesn’t report are left out rather than shown as empty.
Plug-in hybrids, such as the Santa Fe, Tucson and Kia Sorento/Sportage PHEVs, report both EV and fuel data. Climate runs from the high-voltage battery. Charge limits generally aren’t supported.
Tested

Known gaps
Section titled “Known gaps”- Charging schedules and departure times are shown in the status but can’t be changed yet.
- Windows, charge port, valet mode and navigation aren’t exposed, although the library supports some of them on some cars.
- One-time passcodes: if Bluelink asks for an OTP at login (some US Kia accounts), the server can’t complete it. Log in through the app once, then try again.
- Bluelink’s API is unofficial and undocumented. Hyundai can change it at any time, and fixes usually arrive in the library first. Keep the image up to date.
