About Axle MCP Server
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire logistics operation with Axle, the comprehensive fleet management platform. By connecting Axle to your agent, you transform complex supply chain monitoring into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly track real-time vehicle locations, audit driver duty statuses, monitor shipment progress, and retrieve essential shipping documents without you ever touching a heavy transportation dashboard. Whether you're managing a local delivery crew or a national trucking network, your agent acts as a real-time dispatch coordinator, ensuring your fleet is always moving and compliant.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Axle tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 12 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Vehicle Tracking — List all vehicles in your fleet and retrieve real-time GPS locations and technical health details.
- Driver Management — Audit driver profiles, monitor current duty statuses (On Duty, Driving, etc.), and check available Hours of Service (HOS).
- Load Orchestration — Monitor shipment progress, list active loads, and update shipment details dynamically via natural language.
- Document Retrieval — Access scanned shipping documents and paperwork associated with specific loads for instant auditing.
- System Health — Quickly verify connection status and logistics network integrity directly from your chat interface.
The Axle MCP Server exposes 12 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
