Bring Vehicle Tracking
to Windsurf
Learn how to connect Fleetio to Windsurf and start using 12 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the Fleetio MCP Server?
Connect your Fleetio account to any AI agent and automate your fleet management workflows through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Fleetio provides a centralized platform for tracking vehicle data, maintenance schedules, fuel consumption, and compliance. Now, you can monitor your fleet operations directly through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Vehicle Management — List all vehicles in your fleet, fetch detailed metadata including VIN and license plates, and retrieve specific vehicle profiles.
- Maintenance Tracking — Monitor reported issues, list active work orders, and fetch upcoming service reminders to keep your fleet in top shape.
- Meter & Data Entry — Record new odometer or hour meter readings and report new vehicle issues directly from the agent.
- Fuel Monitoring — Retrieve historical fuel entries to track consumption and costs across your operations.
- Directory Access — List organization contacts (drivers, managers) and vendors/service providers for better team and supplier context.
- Real-time Monitoring — Fetch specific maintenance reminders or issue details to ensure operational safety and compliance.
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server through the Vinkius Marketplace

Frequently asked questions
How do I update a vehicle's odometer reading using the agent?
You can use the 'create_meter_entry' tool. Simply provide the Vehicle ID and the new meter value. The agent will record the entry in Fleetio immediately, which helps keeping maintenance schedules accurate.
Can I see upcoming service reminders for my entire fleet?
Yes! The 'list_service_reminders' tool retrieves all active maintenance reminders. You can ask your agent to sort these by date or priority to identify which vehicles need attention next.
What format should I use for reporting a new vehicle issue?
Use the 'create_issue' tool by providing the Vehicle ID and a summary of the problem. You can also add an optional detailed description to give technicians more context about the reported fault.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the 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?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
