Perplexity

Calculate tolls for an existing route with the MCP Server.

Have a polyline from Google Maps or Here Maps? Don't re-route just to check the cost. Use `calculate_toll_from_polyline` and we return the full toll, fuel, and cost breakdown immediately. It supports all vehicle types, currencies, and payment methods you need for post-trip reconciliation or quick GPS analysis.

Budget multi-stop delivery routes.

Need to plan a route with five waypoints? `calculate_toll_multi_stop` handles that. It gives you the detailed toll breakdown at every plaza along the whole trip, plus fuel and optional driver costs. This is perfect for logistics planning or any time you need to optimize a multi-destination delivery schedule.

Get total cost estimates for any journey.

The `calculate_toll_route` tool handles everything. Just give us an origin and destination, and we return the full trip costs: toll plaza details (names, tag/cash prices), fuel burn, and even driver time value.
