Can my agent calculate reachability zones using time limits?

Yes. Use the 'calculate_reachability_polygon' tool. Provide a starting point and a time limit in seconds. The agent will retrieve the isochrone polygon defining exactly what area is reachable within that duration natively.

How do I optimize a multi-stop delivery route via chat?

Use the 'submit_vrp_optimizer' tool. Provide a JSON payload defining your vehicles and service stops. The agent will trigger the VRP solver to calculate the most efficient sequence, accounting for time windows and capacities synchronously.

Can I perform reverse geocoding to find a street name through the agent?

Absolutely. Use the 'reverse_geocode' tool. Provide the latitude and longitude. Your agent will analyze the global OSM bounds to match the coordinates exactly against the nearest physical street address flawlessy.

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.

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings GraphHopper data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

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 /geocode to 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 VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

GraphHopper + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating GraphHopper MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
