About Tesla Fleet API MCP Server
What you can do
Take absolute proxy command over physically hosted Tesla vehicle hardware limits checking telemetries gracefully inside the Fleet Operator logic:
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Tesla Fleet API tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 8 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
- Track Hardware Executions natively reading deep telemetry pulling explicitly GPS, Battery SoC, and Tire Pressures
- Execute Physical Relays actuating explicitly hardware limits bounding specific locks and interior HVAC bounds
- Wake Sleeping Vehicles directly triggering native relays catching cars in idle execution states parsing cleanly
- Manage Fleet Commands bounding honk and headlight mechanisms resolving completely natively safe locating structures
⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING: VEHICLE SLEEP STATE (HTTP 408)
To conserve the high-voltage battery limits, Tesla vehicles physically sever their continuous network proxy when parked. If you execute a read (like get_vehicle_data) or a mechanical command (like control_doors) while the car is sleeping, the API will natively return HTTP 408 Timeout.
The AI Agent MUST ALWAYS first invoke wake_up_vehicle, wait 10-15 seconds, and ONLY THEN route explicit subsequent logic telemetry proxies securely natively!
The Tesla Fleet API MCP Server exposes 8 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Windsurf with the Tesla Fleet API MCP Server
Windsurf provides unique advantages when paired with Tesla Fleet API through the Model Context Protocol.
Windsurf's Cascade agent autonomously chains multiple tool calls in sequence, solving complex multi-step tasks without manual intervention
Purpose-built for agentic workflows. Cascade understands context across your entire codebase and integrates MCP tools natively
JSON-based configuration means zero code changes: paste a URL, reload, and all 8 tools are immediately available
Real-time tool feedback is displayed inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor without switching contexts
Tesla Fleet API + Windsurf Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Windsurf combined with the Tesla Fleet API MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Automated code generation: ask Cascade to fetch data from Tesla Fleet API and generate models, types, or handlers based on real API responses
Live debugging: query Tesla Fleet API tools mid-session to inspect production data while debugging without leaving the editor
Documentation generation: pull schema information from Tesla Fleet API and have Cascade generate comprehensive API docs automatically
Rapid prototyping: combine Tesla Fleet API data with Cascade's code generation to scaffold entire features in minutes
Tesla Fleet API MCP Tools for Windsurf (8)
These 8 tools become available when you connect Tesla Fleet API to Windsurf via MCP:
tesla_control_charge_port
Call wake_up securely first executing correctly. Engage explicitly the charging port relay actively isolating the power array bounds smoothly
tesla_control_doors
Wake up first safely implicitly executing physical relays. Actuate literal physical lock parameters securing or bounding native access inside the vehicle reliably
tesla_flash_lights
Use tesla_wake_up_vehicle first resolving safely. Trigger physical external headlight flash mechanisms securely bounding locating target implicitly
tesla_get_vehicle_data
You MUST use tesla_wake_up_vehicle FIRST and wait before polling. Extracts master telemetry matrices fetching explicitly SoC battery, Odometer, exact GPS coordinates, and vehicle internal temperatures
tesla_honk_horn
Use tesla_wake_up_vehicle first bounding cleanly safely executing. Actuate the physical hardware horn mechanism remotely triggering a loud alert locating the fleet proxy actively
tesla_list_vehicles
Dumps explicit physical vehicle structs enumerating the exact active fleet array native list
tesla_trigger_climate
Trigger explicit wake_up first parsing. Engage explicitly the internal auto-conditioning climate system cleanly resolving temperature states before arrival
tesla_wake_up_vehicle
Wait 10 seconds explicitly after calling this. CRITICAL FIRST STEP: Trigger Explicit ignition matrices asserting the physical vehicle wakes from idle sleep states bounding actively over SaaS proxies
Example Prompts for Tesla Fleet API in Windsurf
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Windsurf agent to start working with Tesla Fleet API immediately.
"Check active fleet execution tracking natively extracting explicitly the battery SoC of vehicle XYZ safely resolving sleep delays initially."
"Actuate physical lock boundaries explicitly mapping the endpoints locking the doors inherently securely natively targeting 'car-aabbcc' dynamically."
"Sound the explicit vehicle horn targeting proxy array bounds locating physical target effectively resolving native bounds gracefully mapping targets."

Tesla Fleet API + Windsurf FAQ
Common questions about integrating Tesla Fleet API MCP Server with Windsurf.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.Connect Tesla Fleet API with your favorite client
