How to Use the TomTom MCP in Windsurf

Q: What if I need to find a specific type of business using TomTom in Windsurf?

You can use searchpoibycategory for that. Just feed it a category name—like 'hospital' or 'gas station'—along with the center coordinates where you want to search. This quickly populates a list of relevant points nearby.

Q: Can TomTom help Windsurf convert addresses into coordinates?

Yep. The fuzzygeocoding tool handles this by converting physical address strings into geographic coordinates, even if the user makes minor typos in the street name or zip code.

Q: Does TomTom support complex routing for Windsurf?

Absolutely. The calculateroute tool calculates a full route and provides both the travel time summary and the actual polyline data needed to draw the map path.

Predictive Location Suggestions

Need a quick place name? The `autocomplete_place_search` tool takes a partial string and optional coordinates to suggest matching locations. Your agent can handle predictive input, letting the user type 'Star' and immediately getting options like 'Starlight Cafe' or 'State Street Park'. This is great for forms where users might mistype an address fragment. Instead of failing, your Windsurf workflow just narrows down possibilities until it hits the right spot.

Real-Time Traffic Analysis

Get instant traffic conditions using `get_traffic_flow_segment`. You provide center coordinates for a specific road stretch, and it returns the current speed and quality score. This lets your agent know if that segment is backed up right now. Furthermore, the `get_traffic_incidents` tool checks a bounding box (min/max lat/lon). If you're running a multi-step route plan, this tells you exactly where accidents or construction are happening in real time.

Complex Route Planning

The `calculate_route` tool figures out the best path and gives you both the polyline geometry and a summary of the trip. It handles calculating travel time between two specific points, which is usually the hardest part. If you need to know if a destination is even physically reachable in a given timeframe, use `calculate_reachable_range`. You just input center coordinates and a time budget (in seconds), and it maps out the area your agent can actually get to.

Setup guide

Set up TomTom MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

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

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the TomTom MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my TomTom payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the TomTom tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.
