# DealerMAX Developers

> Developer portal for the DealerMAX network. Three surfaces: the read-only Dealer Public API (inventory + content), the public DealerMAX MCP Server for AI-agent discovery, and the selected-partner PartnerMAX enterprise API (/v1/*, API-key gated). Typed SDKs for the enterprise API are published as `partnermax` on PyPI and npm; the dealer read-only SDK (`dealermax`) is pre-release.
