About GraphHopper MCP Server
Connect your GraphHopper account to any AI agent and take full control of your geospatial routing, geocoding, and fleet optimization through natural conversation.
Claude Code registers GraphHopper as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 10 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where GraphHopper data drives decisions without human intervention.
What you can do
- Route Orchestration — Calculate optimal routes between multiple GPS stops, identifying precise asynchronous directions and time calculations bypassing URL length limits natively
- Geocoding discovery — Extract explicitly attached REST arrays targeting
/geocodeto translate human-readable addresses into precise LatLon coordinates for spatial analysis - Reverse Geocoding — Perform structural extraction of properties matching GPS pins exactly against named physical streets to verify localized entity bounds flawlessly
- Routing Matrix Calculation — Generate N x M arrays of travel times and distances to analyze complex grid logistics and distance tables between multiple points synchronously
- Isochrone Reachability — Identify precisely the boundary reachable in a specific time limit from a starting point, defining reachability polygons for site selection or delivery zones
- VRP Optimization — Command explicit JSON targets firing Traveling Salesman configs for multiple vehicles, checking time windows and capacity constraints to solve complex logistics synchronously
- Map Matching Auditing — Validate API logic correcting imprecise GPS jumps by snapping raw GPX tracks perfectly onto street vectors limitlessly
The GraphHopper MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Claude Code in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
