How to Use the GraphHopper MCP in AutoGen

Q: How do AutoGen agents negotiate route selections using GraphHopper?

One agent generates routes using calculateurlroute and passes the link to a reviewer agent. The reviewer agent checks the route and requests adjustments if it violates zone constraints.

Q: Can an AutoGen agent resolve address discrepancies using GraphHopper geocoding?

Yes, the geocoder agent uses searchgeocode to find matching coordinates. If multiple locations match, it debates with the context agent to select the correct address.

Q: How do I register the GraphHopper MCP Server tools with my AutoGen AssistantAgent?

You use the mcpservertools adapter to convert the server schema. This registers all ten routing and geocoding tools directly with your agent's capability list.

Q: What happens when an AutoGen agent processes messy GPX files?

The telemetry agent uses snapgpxtoroad to align raw GPS points to the road network. It then shares the clean path with the logistics agent for final cost estimation.

Consensus-Driven Fleet Dispatch

AutoGen agents debate dispatch strategies by comparing outputs from `submit_vrp_optimizer` and `poll_vrp_solution`. A dispatcher agent proposes a schedule, while a driver agent reviews the plan for potential union violation hours. This multi-agent negotiation ensures that your fleet routing balances operational costs against driver safety. The agents trade alternatives until they agree on a feasible schedule.

AutoGen Route Safety Auditing

This MCP Server allows your AutoGen safety agent to inspect truck geometries generated by `calculate_heavy_route`. If the route contains restricted bridges, the safety agent rejects it and demands a recalculation. The routing agent then runs a new query to find a safer path. This iterative feedback loop guarantees that the final route complies with all local vehicle weight regulations.

Collaborative Spatial Intelligence

Your agents work together to analyze urban delivery zones by combining `calculate_distance_isochrone` with local municipal data. One agent calculates the drive-time boundary while another evaluates emission zone compliance. This cooperative approach prevents routing mistakes in restricted city centers. The agents coordinate their findings before presenting the final MCP delivery plan to the user.

Setup guide

Set up GraphHopper MCP in AutoGen

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
autogen-ext[mcp] package
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install AutoGen with MCP
Run pip install "autogen-ext[mcp]" autogen-agentchat. The MCP extension includes mcp_server_tools for stateless tool access.
2

Fetch tools from the MCP
Call mcp_server_tools(SseServerParams(url=...)) with your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Run your agent
Pass the tools to AssistantAgent and call agent.run(). The agent invokes GraphHopper tools and returns structured results.

agent.py

from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import SseServerParams, mcp_server_tools
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient

server_params = SseServerParams(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

tools = await mcp_server_tools(server_params)

agent = AssistantAgent(
    name="GraphHopper_assistant",
    model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
    tools=tools,
)

result = await agent.run("List recent GraphHopper data")
print(result.messages[-1].content)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
autogen-ext[mcp] + autogen-agentchat
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Same packages as above. McpWorkbench is ideal when your agent needs stateful sessions across multiple tool calls.
2

Use McpWorkbench as context manager
Wrap your agent in async with McpWorkbench(...) to maintain shared state and resources. The workbench manages the full MCP session lifecycle.
3

Run with workbench
Pass workbench=workbench to your agent. State is preserved across multiple tool calls within the same session.

agent.py

from autogen_ext.tools.mcp import McpWorkbench, SseServerParams
from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient

server_params = SseServerParams(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

async with McpWorkbench(server_params) as workbench:
    agent = AssistantAgent(
        name="GraphHopper_assistant",
        model_client=OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o"),
        workbench=workbench,
    )

    result = await agent.run("List recent GraphHopper data")
    print(result.messages[-1].content)
