What is the OptimoRoute MCP Server?
Connect your OptimoRoute account to any AI agent and orchestrate your entire route planning workflow from a single conversation.
What you can do
- Order Management — Create delivery orders with addresses, time windows, and capacity constraints. Delete stale orders before they get routed
- Route Optimization — Queue route planning jobs with specific dates and driver sets, then check solver status or abort long-running computations
- Route Downloads — Download finalized manifest routes showing every optimized stop assigned to each driver
- Scheduling Info — Look up exactly when and where a specific order was scheduled within the optimized plan
- Proof of Delivery — Retrieve completion details including driver signatures, photos, and notes for verification
- Live GPS Tracking — Get real-time GPS coordinates for any driver in your fleet
- Driver Configuration — Update working hours, speed profiles, and load capacities for your drivers
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your OptimoRoute API Key
- Start planning routes from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Logistics managers — queue route optimizations and download manifests without opening the OptimoRoute dashboard
- Dispatch teams — create orders on the fly and track driver positions in real time during delivery windows
- Operations analysts — pull proof of delivery data and scheduling info for audit and compliance reporting

Frequently asked questions
How long does route optimization take to complete?
It depends on the number of orders and drivers. Small batches (under 100 stops) typically finish in under 30 seconds. Large-scale plans can take several minutes. The agent checks the planning status endpoint so you can monitor progress, and you can abort and capture the best partial solution at any time.
Can I verify if a delivery was actually completed with proof?
Yes. The get_order_pod tool pulls completion details including driver-captured signatures, photos, and timestamped notes. This data comes directly from the OptimoRoute driver app and provides auditable proof of delivery for dispute resolution and compliance.
Can I update a driver's working hours and vehicle capacity on the fly?
Yes. The update_driver_shifts tool lets you change working hours, speed profiles, and load capacities for any driver. Changes take effect on the next optimization run. Useful for adjusting schedules when a driver calls in sick or a vehicle needs to be swapped.
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.
