Code with live routing data in Cursor

Stop hardcoding coordinate mocks during development. Use `calculate_routing_matrix` to feed actual travel times into your application logic while you write code. The agent fetches the data and puts it right into your file. You get accurate, production-ready routing information without ever switching contexts.

Direct geocoding for your apps

Your code needs to handle real addresses, not just placeholders. Use `search_geocode` and `reverse_geocode` to build robust location features while the AI writes the implementation. It handles the API interaction for you. You just tell the agent what you need to build, and it queries the engine to get the right data points.

Optimize logistics within your project

When you need to solve vehicle routing problems in your software, use `submit_vrp_optimizer` via the agent. It manages the job submission and provides the response for your backend logic. You can iterate on your routing algorithms faster. The agent handles the tool calls while you focus on the architecture of your delivery system.

Setup guide

Set up GraphHopper MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the GraphHopper MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent GraphHopper transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the GraphHopper tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "graphhopper-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }
