How to Use the IATA Developer Portal MCP in Windsurf
Let Cascade pull aviation data directly into your Windsurf workspace using the IATA Developer Portal.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect IATA Developer Portal MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect IATA Developer Portal to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Chain aviation lookups in Windsurf
Cascade reads your codebase and decides when to hit the `search_airlines` or `search_airports` tools automatically. It handles the sequence of calls without you needing to micromanage every query. You just define the goal, like mapping a flight route, and Cascade pulls the specific data points it needs to finish the task.
Verify live API health
Don't guess if the data is stale. Use `check_api_status` to confirm the IATA Developer Portal is reachable before you start your build. Windsurf tracks the response in the background, keeping your development flow moving without manual checks.
Reference aircraft and city data
Pull precise details using `search_aircraft` or `get_city_details` directly within your editor. You get the exact IATA codes you need for your logic. This MCP Server feeds the data straight into your project files, keeping your references accurate and up to date.
