How to Use the Fleetio MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I connect the Fleetio MCP Server to my Windsurf environment?

Add the server configuration under the mcpServers key in /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json to let Windsurf access your fleet records. Cascade discovers the tools automatically once you reload.

Q: How does Windsurf cross-reference fuel entries with odometer readings in Fleetio?

Windsurf calls listfuelentries to extract odometer data from recent gas station fill-ups. It then chains that data to createmeterentry to keep your vehicle logs accurate.

Q: What happens if Windsurf encounters a duplicate vendor during a search?

The agent pulls the complete list using listvendors and filters out duplicates based on the metadata. It presents you with the correct vendor ID before proceeding with any automated dispatching.

Windsurf's Cascade agent chains Fleetio tool sequences to update truck odometers and schedule maintenance autonomously.

Automate preventative maintenance schedules in Windsurf

Windsurf uses `list_service_reminders` to check upcoming fleet maintenance intervals and immediately triggers Cascade to plan your shop schedule. The agent analyzes which trucks need attention next, then grabs individual truck specs using `get_vehicle` to ensure the correct parts are flagged before technicians arrive. You tell Cascade to prep the shop for the week, and it handles the whole sequence on its own. It pulls Fleetio data points without prompting you for every single step, keeping your garage running on actual mileage.

Fleetio MCP Server logs meter updates autonomously

This Fleetio MCP Server lets Cascade monitor fuel transactions and write odometer updates directly to your database. Cascade reads the latest fuel receipts via `list_fuel_entries` and updates the odometer using `create_meter_entry` in a single execution loop. You avoid the manual data entry that usually delays fleet tracking. Because Windsurf handles the tool chaining, a single prompt about fuel logs triggers the entire update process across your active trucks.

Resolve active vehicle issues inside your IDE

Cascade identifies open vehicle defects using `list_issues` and matches them with qualified mechanics from your contacts list. The agent pulls vendor details with `list_vendors` to find the right partner for the repair. Instead of clicking through dashboards, you manage the repair pipeline from your code editor. Windsurf gathers the issue details using `get_issue` and lets you assign the work to save time.

Setup guide

Set up Fleetio MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
