How to Use the Uber MCP in Windsurf

Q: How can I use Uber and Windsurf together to estimate prices?

You call getpriceestimate and give it two locations. This tells you what different ride types will cost before you commit to the booking. It's a quick way to shop around.

Q: What happens if I need to use my saved places with Uber via Windsurf?

You can call getsavedplaces first, which lists your aliases and coordinates. Then, you pass those details into other tools like addsavedplace or for a ride estimate, so the agent knows where you are going.

Q: Does Windsurf help with Uber's trip history?

Absolutely. The gettriphistory tool pulls your past rides. You see the product used, the distance traveled, and the final price for each trip. It keeps all that data in one place.

Q: When using Uber with Windsurf, how do I know what's available?

You can use getproducts to see every ride option at a location. This gives you a full list of available products and their descriptions before you try to book anything.

MCP Server: Plan multi-step Uber trips with Windsurf

The `get_price_estimate` tool lets you compare costs for different Uber ride types before booking. You get a solid idea of the expense across various options, saving you from unexpected bills. It’s also smart to check available products first. The `get_products` function shows which ride options are actually running at your current spot, so you know exactly what's on the menu.

Review past trips and find saved locations via Windsurf

Need to reference a previous fare? Use `get_trip_history` to pull up details like the date, distance, price, and start/end spots. This is perfect for expense reports or just remembering where you went. Forget typing addresses; `get_saved_places` quickly lists your saved locations—like work or home—so Windsurf can use them right away.

Check pickup times and user credentials with Windsurf

Don't wait around guessing. The `get_time_estimate` tool tells you how long Uber will take to pick you up at a given spot. Lower numbers mean you get moving faster. For security, the `get_user_profile` function verifies which Uber account is connected, making sure your agent is working with the right credentials.
