to Windsurf
Learn how to connect Pando to Windsurf and start using 11 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the Pando MCP Server?
Connect your Pando account to any AI agent and take full control of your transport management system (TMS) and fulfillment orchestration through natural conversation. Pando provides a world-class platform for logistics visibility, and this integration allows you to retrieve shipment metadata, manage vehicle indents, and monitor warehouse locations directly from your chat interface.
What you can do
- Shipment & Carrier Orchestration — List all managed shipments and retrieve detailed status metadata programmatically to ensure your logistics pipeline is always synchronized.
- Vehicle Indent Tracking — Access and monitor your vehicle placement requests (indents) directly from the AI interface to optimize fleet allocation and reduce lead times.
- Location & Warehouse Intelligence — List and search through your master locations and warehouses via natural language to maintain a clear overview of your supply chain nodes.
- Material & Inventory Control — Access your registered materials database and retrieve unit metadata using simple AI commands.
- Operational Monitoring — Track system responses and manage shipment history to ensure your fulfillment operations are always optimized.
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Pando TMS API Token from your profile settings
3. Start managing your logistics operations from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual spreadsheet tracking for vehicle placement. Your AI acts as a dedicated logistics coordinator or supply chain analyst.
Who is this for?
- Logistics Managers — quickly retrieve shipment summaries and monitor vehicle availability without switching apps.
- Supply Chain Planners — automate the management of vehicle indents and track material movement via natural conversation.
- Operations Teams — streamline the retrieval of location metadata and monitor organizational fulfillment health directly within the chat.

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the status for a specific shipment by its ID?
Yes! Use the get_shipment tool with the Shipment ID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata, including carrier name, current stage, and expected delivery dates in seconds.
How do I find my Pando TMS API Token?
Log in to your Pando TMS dashboard, navigate to your Profile or Developer settings, and you will find your unique secret token under the 'API Info' section.
What is a vehicle 'indent'?
An indent is a formal request within the Pando platform to assign a specific vehicle for a shipment. You can track their lifecycle from placement to fulfillment via the AI.
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.
