How to Use the TomTom MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I use TomTom in Cursor to find nearby services?

Use searchpoibycategory. You provide the category name—say, 'hospital'—and a central coordinate. The tool returns POI data that you can then process and integrate into your code logic.

Q: Can TomTom help me with complex location parsing in Cursor?

Yes. If your input is messy, fuzzygeocoding will clean it up for you by converting a physical address string to coordinates. For guaranteed structure, use structuredgeocoding.

Q: When coding with Cursor, how do I get TomTom traffic data?

You run gettrafficincidents. You supply the minimum and maximum latitude/longitude coordinates defining your area of interest. The tool then returns all live incident details within that bounding box.

Q: If I need TomTom POI data for a specific ID in Cursor?

Use getpoidetails. You must already have the Point of Interest ID, and this function retrieves rich metadata associated with that exact location, giving you more than just a name.

Live mapping, routing, and traffic data integrated directly into your Cursor code editor.

Generate Code for Complex Routing

Need to build a feature that calculates optimal travel paths? The `calculate_route` tool returns the necessary polyline and summary, which you can immediately inject into your working code. It handles time budgets between two points. This is ideal when writing functions that depend on real-world geographic data. Your agent calls the function, gets a live API response, and you write against it—no stubs needed.

Geocode Addresses into Working Variables

Don't hardcode coordinates if you're dealing with addresses in your project. Use `fuzzy_geocoding` to convert a raw street string into usable geographic variables. It’s smart enough to handle common errors. Alternatively, if your input is perfectly structured (country code, postal code), run `structured_geocoding`. Both methods give you the precise coordinates needed for mapping logic.

Check Live Traffic and Road Conditions

Building an app that relies on real-time travel time? You'll need to check traffic. Use `get_traffic_incidents` by passing a min/max bounding box, which tells you if there are any active issues in that area. To monitor specific stretches of road, call `get_traffic_flow_segment`. This provides the current speed and quality data for a given set of coordinates.

Setup guide

Set up TomTom MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the TomTom MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent TomTom transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the TomTom tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tomtom-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }
}
