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

Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, OptimoRoute becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call OptimoRoute tools autonomously, one agent queries data, another analyzes results, a third compiles reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius with zero configuration overhead.
- —
Multi-agent collaboration lets you decompose complex workflows into specialized roles, one agent researches, another analyzes, a third generates reports, each with access to MCP tools
- —
CrewAI's native MCP integration requires zero adapter code: pass Vinkius Edge URL directly in the
mcpsparameter and agents auto-discover every available tool at runtime - —
Built-in task delegation and shared memory mean agents can pass context between steps without manual state management, enabling multi-hop reasoning across tool calls
- —
Sequential and hierarchical crew patterns map naturally to real-world workflows: enumerate subdomains → analyze DNS history → check WHOIS records → compile findings into actionable reports

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 CrewAI discover and connect to MCP tools?
CrewAI connects to MCP servers lazily. when the crew starts, each agent resolves its MCP URLs and fetches the tool catalog via the standard tools/list method. This means tools are always fresh and reflect the server's current capabilities. No tool schemas need to be hardcoded.
Can different agents in the same crew use different MCP servers?
Yes. Each agent has its own mcps list, so you can assign specific servers to specific roles. For example, a reconnaissance agent might use a domain intelligence server while an analysis agent uses a vulnerability database server.
What happens when an MCP tool call fails during a crew run?
CrewAI wraps tool failures as context for the agent. The LLM receives the error message and can decide to retry with different parameters, fall back to a different tool, or mark the task as partially complete. This resilience is critical for production workflows.
Can CrewAI agents call multiple MCP tools in parallel?
CrewAI agents execute tool calls sequentially within a single reasoning step. However, you can run multiple agents in parallel using process=Process.parallel, each calling different MCP tools concurrently. This is ideal for workflows where separate data sources need to be queried simultaneously.
Can I run CrewAI crews on a schedule (cron)?
Yes. CrewAI crews are standard Python scripts, so you can invoke them via cron, Airflow, Celery, or any task scheduler. The crew.kickoff() method runs synchronously by default, making it straightforward to integrate into existing pipelines.
MCP tools not discovered
Ensure the Edge URL is correct. CrewAI connects lazily when the crew starts. check console output.
Agent not using tools
Make the task description specific. Instead of "do something", say "Use the available tools to list contacts".
Timeout errors
CrewAI has a 10s connection timeout by default. Ensure your network can reach the Edge URL.
Rate limiting or 429 errors
Vinkius enforces per-token rate limits. Check your subscription tier and request quota in the dashboard. Upgrade if you need higher throughput.
