Perplexity

Multi-Step Booking Runs

`search_cars` is the starting point for finding vehicles on Windsurf without executing manual searches. Cascade takes your destination, checks dates, and filters by supplier or vehicle class in one shot. This MCP tool handles the initial query and immediately feeds the results to subsequent tools. Once Cascade identifies the best rate, it runs `book_car` to complete the reservation. You do not have to copy-paste offer IDs or manually confirm terms. The agent maps your driver details and secures the booking autonomously.

Location Mapping with Windsurf MCP Server

`get_pickup_locations` retrieves addresses, operating hours, and counter details directly inside your Windsurf workspace. Instead of guessing airport codes, Cascade uses `search_car_regions` to resolve partial city names to exact regional identifiers. This prevents API errors before you attempt a search. Your agent coordinates these two steps to find the closest supplier counter. It verifies terminal instructions and passes the correct location ID to your active search context.

Visual Verification and Fleet Inspections

`get_car_images` pulls exterior and interior photos of the vehicle class directly into Cascade's chat interface. You see the actual vehicle layout alongside the technical specs returned by `get_car_details`. This removes the guesswork from matching a car to your travel group size. Cascade analyzes the passenger and baggage capacity from the raw payload. It then displays the representative images so you can verify the vehicle class before committing to a rental.
