How to Use the TomTom Alternative MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How does TomTom Alternative work with OpenAI Agents SDK for geocoding?

The geocode tool converts any standard address string directly into latitude and longitude coordinates. It's a straight conversion: input an address, get the numbers back. This is foundational data needed before calculating anything.

Q: Does TomTom Alternative support traffic checks with OpenAI Agents SDK?

Yes, use gettrafficincidents for real-time road status. The tool provides current flow information and reports on specific incidents like accidents or construction zones. It gives your agent the data it needs to reroute a user instantly.

Q: What kind of map tiles can TomTom Alternative provide using OpenAI Agents SDK?

The getmaptile tool returns a direct URL for a specific image tile. You pass the coordinates and zoom level, and it gives you back the link to draw that exact section of the map. This is useful for rendering custom views.

Q: How do I run fuzzy searches with TomTom Alternative using OpenAI Agents SDK?

You call fuzzysearch when a user provides an ambiguous or misspelled location name. The tool handles the ambiguity and returns structured results for addresses and points of interest (POIs). It's your safety net against bad user input.

Perplexity

Calculate advanced routes or avoid vignettes.

The `calculate_advanced_route` tool handles complex trip planning. You can specify multiple supporting points on a journey or tell the agent to specifically skip out-of-scope areas like toll vignettes. This means your agents don't just give you A to B directions; they build structured, multi-stop routes that respect local constraints.

Find addresses and POIs with fuzzy search.

Use the `fuzzy_search` tool for finding locations when the user input isn't perfect. It takes a single line of text—maybe a misspelled business name or partial address—and returns the best matches. This is critical because people never type addresses perfectly, and this function ensures your agent can still pull usable coordinates even with messy inputs.

Get real-time traffic incidents and flow data.

The `get_traffic_incidents` tool streams live data on road conditions. Your AI client gets information about current traffic backups, accident reports, or unexpected closures right now. This allows your agents to give the user actionable advice—'Take I-95 instead; there's a major incident ahead at exit 12.' It turns raw map data into immediate instructions.

Setup guide

Set up TomTom Alternative MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
openai-agents package (pip install openai-agents)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install the SDK

Run pip install openai-agents to install the OpenAI Agents SDK. The MCP integration is built-in — no extra dependencies needed.
2

Connect via SSE transport

Use MCPServerSse with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. The SDK auto-discovers all TomTom Alternative tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

Pass the MCP to Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives TomTom Alternative tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically.
4

Run the agent

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate TomTom Alternative tools and returns structured results. Copy the full example on the right to get started.

agent.py

import asyncio
from agents import Agent, Runner
from agents.mcp import MCPServerSse

async def main():
    async with MCPServerSse(
        url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ) as server:
        agent = Agent(
            name="TomTom Alternative Agent",
            instructions="You have access to TomTom Alternative tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())
