About BlaBlaCar MCP Server
What you can do
Connect AI agents to the world's largest carpooling network for affordable, sustainable travel:
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple BlaBlaCar tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 8 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
- Search carpool rides between any cities or GPS coordinates worldwide
- Compare prices and schedules across multiple drivers and departure times
- Review driver profiles with ratings, verification status, and vehicle details
- Find bus trips on BlaBlaCar Bus routes for longer distances
- Search with flexible dates to find cheapest travel days
- International rides across borders with country-specific filtering
- Radius-based searches for flexible pickup location options
The BlaBlaCar MCP Server exposes 8 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.

Why Use Windsurf with the BlaBlaCar MCP Server
Windsurf provides unique advantages when paired with BlaBlaCar through the Model Context Protocol.
Windsurf's Cascade agent autonomously chains multiple tool calls in sequence, solving complex multi-step tasks without manual intervention
Purpose-built for agentic workflows. Cascade understands context across your entire codebase and integrates MCP tools natively
JSON-based configuration means zero code changes: paste a URL, reload, and all 8 tools are immediately available
Real-time tool feedback is displayed inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor without switching contexts
BlaBlaCar + Windsurf Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Windsurf combined with the BlaBlaCar MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Automated code generation: ask Cascade to fetch data from BlaBlaCar and generate models, types, or handlers based on real API responses
Live debugging: query BlaBlaCar tools mid-session to inspect production data while debugging without leaving the editor
Documentation generation: pull schema information from BlaBlaCar and have Cascade generate comprehensive API docs automatically
Rapid prototyping: combine BlaBlaCar data with Cascade's code generation to scaffold entire features in minutes
BlaBlaCar MCP Tools for Windsurf (8)
These 8 tools become available when you connect BlaBlaCar to Windsurf via MCP:
get_driver_profile
Use this to verify driver credibility and read passenger reviews before booking a ride. Requires the driver user ID from a trip result. Get driver profile and ratings on BlaBlaCar
get_trip_details
Use this before booking to verify driver credibility, vehicle comfort, and exact pickup location. Get complete details of a specific BlaBlaCar trip including driver and vehicle info
search_bus_trips
BlaBlaCar operates both carpooling and bus services. Bus trips are operated by professional drivers on fixed routes. Returns bus departure/arrival times, prices, and availability. Use this for longer distance or when carpool options are limited. Search BlaBlaCar Bus trips between two locations
search_flexible_dates
Much larger result set than exact-date search. Useful when travel dates are not fixed and user wants to compare prices/availability across multiple days. Returns up to 50 results spanning several days. Search carpool trips with flexible dates around a target date
search_international_trips
Requires origin/destination coordinates plus country codes (e.g., FR, DE, ES, IT, PT). Returns all available international rides with driver details and pricing. Use this for trips crossing national borders. Search international carpool trips between two countries on BlaBlaCar
search_trips
Requires latitude,longitude format for both points. Returns trip details including departure/arrival cities, times, price, driver info, and available seats. Use this for precise location-based searches when you know exact coordinates. Search carpool trips between two GPS coordinates on BlaBlaCar
search_trips_by_city
More user-friendly than coordinate-based search. Returns all matching trips with departure/arrival points, times, prices, driver ratings, and available seats. Best for general city-to-city searches without needing exact coordinates. Search carpool trips between two city names on BlaBlaCar
search_trips_with_radius
Useful when exact pickup/dropoff locations are flexible. Larger radius returns more options but may require additional travel to reach departure points. Returns all rides within the specified radius. Search carpool trips with flexible radius around coordinates
Example Prompts for BlaBlaCar in Windsurf
