FAQ

Questions Lyft owners ask.

  • 01

    Can I actually book rides through this MCP server?

  • 02

    What Lyft API permissions do I need?

The client credentials flow (2-legged OAuth) provides access to ride types, cost estimates, ETA estimates, ride requests, and history. For user-specific data, additional scope approval may be needed.

  • 03

    Does this work in all cities where Lyft operates?
