About TollGuru MCP Server
Connect your TollGuru toll calculation API to any AI agent and take full control of trip cost estimation, toll plaza tracking, route optimization, and fleet expense management across 50+ countries through natural conversation.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings TollGuru data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 3 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
What you can do
- Toll Calculation — Calculate toll costs for any route with detailed plaza-by-plaza breakdown including tag and cash prices
- Fuel Cost Estimation — Get fuel cost estimates based on vehicle efficiency and current fuel prices along the route
- Driver Cost Analysis — Calculate driver costs based on hourly wage or time value for complete trip budgeting
- Multi-Stop Routes — Calculate tolls for routes with multiple waypoints and optimize waypoint order to minimize tolls
- Route Optimization — Find the most cost-effective route between origin and destination with toll-aware routing
- Polyline Toll Calculation — Calculate tolls for existing routes from Google Maps, Here Maps, or Mapbox polylines
- Vehicle-Specific Pricing — Get accurate toll costs for any vehicle type from 2-axle cars to 9-axle commercial trucks
- Multi-Currency Support — View costs in USD, CAD, MXN, EUR, GBP, INR, AUD, and 12+ other currencies
- Payment Method Breakdown — Compare toll costs by payment method (tag, cash, prepaid card, license plate)
- Global Coverage — Calculate tolls across US, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Australia, India, and 50+ countries

VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
Project-scoped MCP configs (`.vscode/mcp.json`) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services
TollGuru + VS Code Copilot Use Cases
Practical scenarios where VS Code Copilot combined with the TollGuru MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Live API integration: Copilot can query an MCP server, inspect the response schema, and generate typed API client code in the same step
DevSecOps workflows: security teams can give developers access to domain intelligence tools directly in their editor for real-time vulnerability assessment during code review
Data pipeline development: Copilot fetches sample data via MCP and generates transformation scripts, validators, and test fixtures from actual API responses
Documentation generation: Copilot queries available tools and auto-generates README sections, API reference docs, and usage examples
TollGuru MCP Tools for VS Code Copilot (3)
These 3 tools become available when you connect TollGuru to VS Code Copilot via MCP:
calculate_toll_from_polyline
This is useful when you already have a route from a mapping service and need toll calculations without re-routing. Returns the same detailed toll, fuel, and cost information as the route calculation. Supports all vehicle types, currencies, and payment methods. Essential for integrating with existing mapping applications, post-trip toll reconciliation, and GPS track-based toll analysis. AI agents should use this when users have an existing route polyline from Google Maps, Here Maps, or another service and need toll costs for that specific route. Calculate tolls for a route defined by an encoded polyline from any mapping service
calculate_toll_multi_stop
Returns detailed breakdown of tolls at each plaza along the complete route, fuel costs, and optional driver costs. Supports waypoint optimization to minimize total toll costs. Essential for delivery route planning, multi-stop trip budgeting, and logistics optimization. AI agents should use this when users need toll calculations for routes with multiple stops, such as "calculate tolls from Chicago to Detroit with stops in Toledo and Ann Arbor" or "what are the toll costs for my delivery route with 5 waypoints". Calculate tolls for a multi-stop route with multiple waypoints
calculate_toll_route
Returns detailed toll plaza information including plaza names, tag and cash costs, payment methods accepted, and route optimization suggestions. Also calculates fuel costs based on vehicle efficiency and current fuel prices, and optional driver costs based on time value. Supports all vehicle types including 2-axle cars, EVs, motorcycles, and commercial trucks (2-9+ axles). You can request route optimization to minimize toll costs, specify currency output (USD, CAD, MXN, EUR, GBP, INR, AUD, etc.), and choose mapping service (Here Maps, Google Maps, or TollGuru internal). Essential for fleet management, trip cost estimation, route planning, toll reconciliation, and travel budgeting. AI agents should use this when users ask "what are the tolls from New York to Boston", "calculate toll costs for my truck from LA to San Francisco", or need comprehensive trip cost breakdowns including tolls, fuel, and driver time. Calculate tolls and total trip costs for a route with origin, destination, and optional waypoints
Example Prompts for TollGuru in VS Code Copilot
