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 VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings OptimoRoute data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

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.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
