What is the GraphHopper MCP Server?
Connect your GraphHopper account to any AI agent and take full control of your geospatial routing, geocoding, and fleet optimization through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Route Orchestration — Calculate optimal routes between multiple GPS stops, identifying precise asynchronous directions and time calculations bypassing URL length limits natively
- Geocoding discovery — Extract explicitly attached REST arrays targeting
/geocodeto translate human-readable addresses into precise LatLon coordinates for spatial analysis - Reverse Geocoding — Perform structural extraction of properties matching GPS pins exactly against named physical streets to verify localized entity bounds flawlessly
- Routing Matrix Calculation — Generate N x M arrays of travel times and distances to analyze complex grid logistics and distance tables between multiple points synchronously
- Isochrone Reachability — Identify precisely the boundary reachable in a specific time limit from a starting point, defining reachability polygons for site selection or delivery zones
- VRP Optimization — Command explicit JSON targets firing Traveling Salesman configs for multiple vehicles, checking time windows and capacity constraints to solve complex logistics synchronously
- Map Matching Auditing — Validate API logic correcting imprecise GPS jumps by snapping raw GPX tracks perfectly onto street vectors limitlessly
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your GraphHopper API Key (found in your GraphHopper Dashboard under API Keys)
- Start optimizing your logistics and routing from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?

Frequently asked questions
Can my agent calculate reachability zones using time limits?
Yes. Use the 'calculate_reachability_polygon' tool. Provide a starting point and a time limit in seconds. The agent will retrieve the isochrone polygon defining exactly what area is reachable within that duration natively.
How do I optimize a multi-stop delivery route via chat?
Use the 'submit_vrp_optimizer' tool. Provide a JSON payload defining your vehicles and service stops. The agent will trigger the VRP solver to calculate the most efficient sequence, accounting for time windows and capacities synchronously.
Can I perform reverse geocoding to find a street name through the agent?
Absolutely. Use the 'reverse_geocode' tool. Provide the latitude and longitude. Your agent will analyze the global OSM bounds to match the coordinates exactly against the nearest physical street address flawlessy.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
