How to Use the TomTom Alternative MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I find coordinates using TomTom Alternative with Windsurf?

Run geocode on any address string, and it returns the latitude and longitude pair. Your agent uses these clean coordinates to feed into other tools like routing functions. It's much cleaner than manually looking up coordinates.

Q: Can Windsurf calculate a basic route between two points using TomTom Alternative?

Yep, the calculateroute tool does that straightforward job. You just give it an origin and a destination, and you get back the full path details. Cascade handles running this right after geocoding the start/end points.

Q: Does TomTom Alternative help with map visuals in Windsurf?

Absolutely. The getmaptile tool provides a specific URL for map tile images. You can use this visual output alongside your routing results to show the user exactly where the path goes.

Perplexity

Automate Complex Navigation Tasks

The `calculate_advanced_route` tool handles complex journeys, letting your agent find the optimal path while supporting waypoints or avoiding specific zones like vignettes. Cascade can chain this with a preceding `geocode` call to make sure all coordinates are locked down before routing. You just set a destination and some constraints, and Windsurf’s Cascade figures out the whole sequence—getting coordinates, planning the route, and handling any required detours automatically.

Find Any Address or POI Instantly

Need to pinpoint something? Start with `fuzzy_search`. This single-line search lets your agent quickly locate addresses and points of interest even if the input is messy or incomplete. It's perfect for figuring out where a client might be located without knowing the exact street address. Once you narrow down a location using `fuzzy_search`, you can use `geocode` to lock in those precise geographic coordinates, making that data ready for further processing.

Real-Time Traffic and Map Tiles

The `get_traffic_incidents` tool feeds your agent real-time info on traffic flow and any active incidents across a region. This means when Cascade plans a route, it's not guessing; it knows if there’s a major slowdown or an accident blocking the way. If you need to show a map in your IDE output, `get_map_tile` returns the direct URL for that tile image. You can grab the visual context needed immediately after running any routing function.
