Windsurf onebusaway mcp server onebusaway_get_alert

How to: Windsurf onebusaway mcp server onebusaway_get_alert

client:Windsurf transport:streamable-http tool:onebusaway_get_alert

Add onebusaway mcp server to Windsurf

  1. 01

    Open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "onebusaway-mcp-server": {
      "serverUrl": "https://onebusaway.caseyjhand.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Windsurf.

  2. 03

    Ask for something onebusaway_get_alert does. Windsurf lists the server's tools on connect and calls onebusaway_get_alert itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that onebusaway mcp server's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Global only — Windsurf has no per-project MCP config. Refresh Cascade after saving. Windsurf docs

Set these first

onebusaway mcp server will not start until these are set, so onebusaway_get_alert never becomes available.

  • ONEBUSAWAY_API_KEY
  • ONEBUSAWAY_BASE_URL
  • ONEBUSAWAY_RATE_LIMIT_REQUESTS
  • ONEBUSAWAY_RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW_MS
  • ONEBUSAWAY_RATE_LIMIT_MAX_WAIT_MS
  • MCP_LOG_LEVEL

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
