How to Use the Lyko MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I connect the Lyko MCP Server to Windsurf?

Open your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file and add the server under the mcpServers key. Alternatively, use the Settings menu, navigate to Cascade, and add it via the MCP Servers UI. Once saved, click Refresh in your MCP panel to let Cascade discover the tools.

Q: Can Windsurf handle ticket bookings autonomously using Lyko?

Yes, Cascade can chain the booking process. It uses plantrip to find the itinerary and then calls booktrip to secure tickets or rentals. You will need to provide the necessary payment and passenger details in your prompt or configuration.

Q: Can Cascade download raw GTFS feeds for offline analysis?

It can. The agent uses gettransitfeed to grab feed metadata, regional coverage details, and direct download URLs for static schedule data. This is perfect when you need to build local routing databases or run offline transit simulations.

Let Windsurf autonomously map, plan, and book European transit routes directly through the Lyko MCP Server.

Autonomous multimodal journey planning in Windsurf

Cascade doesn't just show you a route; it handles the entire transit chain. Feed it a starting point and a destination, and it triggers `plan_trip` to calculate the best mix of European trains, buses, and local bike shares. The agent figures out the connections without asking you to confirm every single leg of the journey. Once the route is locked in, Cascade can immediately call `book_trip` to secure your tickets or reserve that bike share. You get a complete itinerary with payment details and validation QR codes right inside your editor, skipping the usual dozen browser tabs.

Real-time station monitoring and route validation

Keep your development workspace updated with live transit data. The agent uses `get_nearby_stops` and `search_stops` to locate physical transit hubs based on code parameters or coordinates. It pulls instant schedules so you don't have to guess if a station is active. When you need to check if a train is running late, Cascade calls `get_arrivals` and `get_departures` to fetch live boards. You get raw delay indicators and platform numbers directly in your active panel, making it simple to build or test transit-aware applications.

Active disruption tracking across European operators

Regional strikes and track maintenance can wreck travel plans. This MCP Server gives your agent direct access to `get_network_status` to scan for active delays, closures, or weather issues. Your workspace gets real-time alerts before you commit to a route. If a specific transit line is down, the agent queries `get_line_info` and `get_line_routes` to map out alternative pathways. It inspects service variations and frequency to keep your transit tools accurate and reliable.

Setup guide

Set up Lyko 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

Add the Lyko MCP

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 Lyko payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Lyko tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Yes, Cascade can chain the booking process. It uses `plan_trip` to find the itinerary and then calls `book_trip` to secure tickets or rentals. You will need to provide the necessary payment and passenger details in your prompt or configuration.

The server covers more than 300 operators across Europe. By calling `get_operators`, Cascade can inspect active coverage for major networks like SNCF in France, DB in Germany, and Renfe in Spain.

It can. The agent uses `get_transit_feed` to grab feed metadata, regional coverage details, and direct download URLs for static schedule data. This is perfect when you need to build local routing databases or run offline transit simulations.

Your location coordinates and routing data are processed strictly in an ephemeral sandbox. Vinkius runs the server on a zero-trust architecture, meaning your geographic queries are never saved or used for tracking. Only the external transit operators receive the raw coordinates to calculate your routes.
