Chain geocoding and routing logic

Feed address strings into `search_geocode` and pipe the resulting coordinates directly into `calculate_directions` within your LangChain agent. Your agent handles the sequence, transforming raw location data into actionable travel paths without manual intervention. This workflow allows for complex pathing pipelines where the output of one tool informs the next. You define the logic, and the agent executes the chain based on the spatial data it gets from the server.

Manage location data with LangChain tools

Use `search_autocomplete` to handle user input errors before they hit your core routing functions. By catching partial strings early, your chain maintains high data integrity throughout the entire reasoning process. Monitoring your usage is simple with `check_account_balance`. You can build a safety check into your chain to pause execution if your query limit gets too low, keeping your application predictable.

Perform spatial analysis in your pipeline

Use `calculate_distance_matrix` to generate complex travel tables for multi-stop logistical tasks. The MCP Server provides the raw duration data that your LangChain agent needs to make informed decisions about delivery efficiency. Combine this with `snap_nearest_roads` to ensure your coordinate data stays aligned with actual infrastructure. Your agent can then refine its plans based on real-world street networks rather than just point-to-point estimates.

Setup guide

Set up LocationIQ (Geocoding & Maps) MCP in LangChain

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
langchain-mcp-adapters + langgraph packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install langchain-mcp-adapters langgraph langchain-openai. The MCP adapters package converts MCP tools into native LangChain BaseTool objects.
2

Connect via HTTP transport
Use MultiServerMCPClient with "transport": "http" pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Create a ReAct agent
Pass the discovered tools to create_react_agent() from LangGraph. The agent automatically routes LocationIQ (Geocoding & Maps) tool calls through the MCP protocol.
4

Run with any LLM
Swap ChatOpenAI for ChatAnthropic, ChatGoogleGenerativeAI, or any LangChain-compatible model. The MCP tools work identically across all providers.

agent.py

from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

async with MultiServerMCPClient({
    "locationiq-geocoding-maps-mcp": {
        "transport": "http",
        "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp",
    }
}) as client:
    tools = client.get_tools()

    agent = create_react_agent(
        ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
        tools,
    )
    result = await agent.ainvoke({
        "messages": "List recent LocationIQ (Geocoding & Maps) transactions"
    })
    print(result["messages"][-1].content)

Common questions about LocationIQ (Geocoding & Maps) MCP in LangChain

Install the necessary MCP adapters and define the server URL in your client configuration. Once connected, pull the tool list and pass it directly to your agent constructor to enable geocoding tasks.

Yes, you can iterate through lists of coordinates using the distance matrix tool. LangChain manages the loop, sending each set to the server and aggregating the results for your final output.

It does. Simply pass your latitude and longitude pairs to the reverse geocoding tool. The server returns the postal address, which your agent can then store or display as needed.

The connection uses encrypted transport protocols. Your API key stays on the server, and the MCP interface ensures that your agent only interacts with the specific tools you authorize.

Your coordinate and address data is processed ephemerally within the V8 sandbox. We do not persist your location history, and the server strictly limits data exposure to the specific tool calls required by your agent.
