How do I get an OptimoRoute API Key?

In your OptimoRoute account, go to **Administration** > **API Key**. There you can generate and copy your unique access key.

Can I see where my drivers are right now?

Yes! Use the `get_driver_locations` tool to retrieve the real-time coordinates and status of all active vehicles in your fleet.

Does starting planning affect existing routes?

The `start_planning` tool initiates the optimization engine for the specified date. It will create or update routes based on the pending orders and driver availability for that day.

OptimoRoute + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating OptimoRoute MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call OptimoRoute tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
