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.

Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple OptimoRoute tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.

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 Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

OptimoRoute + Windsurf FAQ

Common questions about integrating OptimoRoute MCP Server with Windsurf.

How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?

Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.

Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?

Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.

Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
