  The MUGAST-AGATA-VAMOS set-up at GANIL combines the MUGAST highly-segmented
silicon array with the state-of-the-art AGATA array and the large acceptance
VAMOS spectrometer. The mechanical and electronics integration copes with the
constraints of maximum efficiency for each device, in particular {\gamma}-ray
transparency for the silicon array. This complete set-up offers a unique
opportunity to perform exclusive measurements of direct reactions with the
radioactive beams from the SPIRAL1 facility. The performance of the set-up is
described through its commissioning and two examples of transfer reactions
measured during the campaign. High accuracy spectroscopy of the nuclei of
interest, including cross-sections and angular distributions, is achieved
through the triple-coincidence measurement. In addition, the correction from
Doppler effect of the {\gamma}-ray energies is improved by the detection of the
light particles and the use of two-body kinematics and a full rejection of the
background contributions is obtained through the identification of heavy
residues. Moreover, the system can handle high intensity beams (up to 108 pps).
The particle identification based on the measurement of the time-of-flight
between MUGAST and VAMOS and the reconstruction of the trajectories is
investigated.
