Can I actually book rides through this MCP server?

Yes! Unlike some ride-sharing MCPs that only provide estimates, this server can create actual ride requests via the Lyft API. You can book rides, check status, track driver details, and even cancel — all through AI agent commands. A valid Lyft account with payment method on file is required.

What Lyft API permissions do I need?

You need Client ID and Client Secret from the Lyft Developer Portal with 'Public' or 'Full' access scopes. 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.

Does this work in all cities where Lyft operates?

Yes, this MCP server works in all cities served by Lyft, primarily across the United States and select Canadian cities. Ride availability depends on your local Lyft service area. The API will return accurate ride types, pricing, and ETAs for any location where Lyft operates.
