How to Use the IP Parking MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I configure IP Parking with Windsurf?

Open your configuration file at /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json and add the server configuration under the mcpServers key. Once saved, Cascade immediately discovers the parking tools.

Q: Does the IP Parking MCP Server send license plate data to external servers?

No. All license plate scans from registeranpr and raw transaction logs from listtransactions remain sandboxed within your local Vinkius environment. Your API keys are never exposed to external LLM providers.

Control physical parking barriers and update tariffs autonomously using Cascade in Windsurf.

Autonomously resolve gate blocks with Windsurf Cascade

When a driver gets stuck at an exit, you don't want to manually click through five screens. Tell Cascade to investigate and fix the issue. The agent will run `get_system_health` to check the hardware status, pull the ticket with `get_ticket_details`, and open the barrier using `control_gate` if everything checks out. You only define the end goal in Windsurf. The IDE chains these actions together without asking for permission at every step, making physical gate recovery incredibly fast.

Automate dynamic pricing cycles using this MCP Server

Keep your parking revenue optimized by letting your development environment handle rate adjustments. Cascade can read live occupancy rates through `get_site_status` and immediately execute `update_tariff` to match current demand. This MCP Server connection allows Windsurf to monitor your physical sites directly from your workspace. It handles the entire logic loop from checking active rates using `list_tariffs` to applying new pricing structures.

Run automated ANPR validation loops

Testing license plate recognition shouldn't require standing in front of a physical camera. Use this MCP integration inside Windsurf to trigger simulated entry events by feeding plate data directly into `register_anpr`. Cascade can verify the camera feed status via `list_hardware` and instantly check if the system registered the vehicle correctly. It lets you debug your parking logic without leaving your code editor.

Setup guide

Set up IP Parking 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.
2

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my IP Parking payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the IP Parking tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about IP Parking MCP in Windsurf

Open your configuration file at `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` and add the server configuration under the `mcpServers` key. Once saved, Cascade immediately discovers the parking tools.

Yes. When you ask Cascade to resolve a blocked exit, it will check the ticket status and run `control_gate` to clear the lane without requiring manual CLI commands.

The server manages API rate limits internally so Cascade doesn't trigger blockages when fetching data via `list_transactions` or `list_sites` during high-traffic events.

You can. Just ask Cascade to register a plate, and it will execute `register_anpr` and verify the entry state in one go.

No. All license plate scans from `register_anpr` and raw transaction logs from `list_transactions` remain sandboxed within your local Vinkius environment. Your API keys are never exposed to external LLM providers.
