How long does route optimization take to complete?

It depends on the number of orders and drivers. Small batches (under 100 stops) typically finish in under 30 seconds. Large-scale plans can take several minutes. The agent checks the planning status endpoint so you can monitor progress, and you can abort and capture the best partial solution at any time.

Can I verify if a delivery was actually completed with proof?

Yes. The get_order_pod tool pulls completion details including driver-captured signatures, photos, and timestamped notes. This data comes directly from the OptimoRoute driver app and provides auditable proof of delivery for dispute resolution and compliance.

Can I update a driver's working hours and vehicle capacity on the fly?

Yes. The update_driver_shifts tool lets you change working hours, speed profiles, and load capacities for any driver. Changes take effect on the next optimization run. Useful for adjusting schedules when a driver calls in sick or a vehicle needs to be swapped.

About OptimoRoute MCP Server

Connect your OptimoRoute account to any AI agent and orchestrate your entire route planning workflow from a single conversation.

Cursor's Agent mode turns OptimoRoute into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from OptimoRoute and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.

What you can do

Order Management — Create delivery orders with addresses, time windows, and capacity constraints. Delete stale orders before they get routed
Route Optimization — Queue route planning jobs with specific dates and driver sets, then check solver status or abort long-running computations
Route Downloads — Download finalized manifest routes showing every optimized stop assigned to each driver
Scheduling Info — Look up exactly when and where a specific order was scheduled within the optimized plan
Proof of Delivery — Retrieve completion details including driver signatures, photos, and notes for verification
Live GPS Tracking — Get real-time GPS coordinates for any driver in your fleet
Driver Configuration — Update working hours, speed profiles, and load capacities for your drivers

The OptimoRoute MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cursor in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Cursor with the OptimoRoute MCP Server

Cursor AI Code Editor provides unique advantages when paired with OptimoRoute through the Model Context Protocol.

Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context

Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards

MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment

VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

OptimoRoute + Cursor Use Cases

Practical scenarios where Cursor combined with the OptimoRoute MCP Server delivers measurable value.

Code generation with live data: ask Cursor to generate a security report module using live DNS and subdomain data fetched through MCP

Automated documentation: have Cursor query your API's tool schemas and generate TypeScript interfaces or OpenAPI specs automatically

Infrastructure-as-code: Cursor can fetch domain configurations and generate corresponding Terraform or CloudFormation templates

Test scaffolding: ask Cursor to pull real API responses via MCP and generate unit test fixtures from actual data

OptimoRoute + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating OptimoRoute MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
