Perplexity

Snap raw coordinates to road paths

Clean up messy GPS traces by sending coordinate arrays to `snap_to_roads`. This tool reconstructs the actual path a vehicle traveled, removing signal noise and drift. Your agent gets back clean geometries with place IDs. You can then feed these directly into subsequent logic for accurate fleet visualization.

Identify nearest road segments

Use `get_nearest_roads` to reverse-geocode individual points without assuming a continuous path. It maps scattered coordinates to specific road segments instantly. This is essential when your OpenAI agent needs to know exactly which road a driver is on right now. It treats every coordinate as an independent data point.

Automate speed limit validation

Combine mapping and compliance using `get_snapped_speed_limits`. You get snapped coordinates and legal speed limits in one round trip. This reduces latency in your OpenAI Agents SDK agent loops. You'll have the exact speed limit data for every segment of the route without redundant API calls.

Setup guide

Set up Google Roads MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
openai-agents package (pip install openai-agents)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install the SDK

Run pip install openai-agents to install the OpenAI Agents SDK. The MCP integration is built-in — no extra dependencies needed.
2

Connect via SSE transport

Use MCPServerSse with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. The SDK auto-discovers all Google Roads tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

Pass the MCP to Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives Google Roads tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically.
4

Run the agent

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate Google Roads tools and returns structured results. Copy the full example on the right to get started.

agent.py

import asyncio
from agents import Agent, Runner
from agents.mcp import MCPServerSse

async def main():
    async with MCPServerSse(
        url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ) as server:
        agent = Agent(
            name="Google Roads Agent",
            instructions="You have access to Google Roads tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())

Common questions about Google Roads MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

The MCP server exposes tools directly to your agents. You pass the server to your agent constructor, and the tools become available for use immediately.

Yes. You can use the combined speed limit tool to verify compliance. Your agent handles the logic of checking vehicle speed against returned limits.

It does. The snapping tool corrects drift by aligning coordinates to the nearest road geometry. This ensures your agent is working with clean data.

The server runs as an ephemeral process. You provide your key via environment variables, and it never touches persistent storage.

The server only processes raw GPS coordinate pairs. It does not store your location history or associate it with persistent user profiles.
