What is the TomTom MCP Server?
Connect your TomTom API account directly to any AI agent to unlock enterprise-grade geospatial and logistical capabilities native to your platform. Convert complex addresses instantly, evaluate driving routes based on exact origin and destination coordinates, and visualize live traffic blocks directly through chat queries.
What you can do
- Precision Geocoding — Process any physical address string into absolute geographic latitude/longitude coordinates using fuzzy logic or structured fields, as well as reversing coordinates back to plain street names
- Route Computation — Calculate the exact travel time, polyline geometry, and distance for a trip between two precise coordinates
- Real-Time Traffic — Map traffic incidents (accidents, constructions, jams) constrained within a bounding box, or survey the traffic flow speed of a particular avenue segment
- Poi Discovery — Find global Points of Interest based on categories (e.g., hospitals, fuel) and retrieve rich contact metadata or opening hours for specific locations
- Travel Boundaries — Calculate reachable ranges (polygonal limits) to understand exactly how far your fleet or agents can travel within a set time budget
How it works
- Add this marketplace component to your workflow
- Open the TomTom Developer Portal and produce a secure API token
- Plug the key above, and start interrogating global geography immediately
Who is this for?
- Fleet Managers — Ensure continuous auditing of road incidents and calculate travel time differences organically
- Logistics Engineers — Implement and test route shedding, time boundaries, and flow calculations locally
- App Developers — Programmatically pull local Points of Interest strings and contact numbers directly into their coding setup
Built-in capabilities (10)
Provide a partial string and optional bias coordinates. Provides predictive location suggestions based on partial input
Provide center coordinates and a time budget in seconds. Calculates an area reachable within a specific time or distance budget
Returns the route polyline and a summary. Calculates a route and travel time between two points
Converts a physical address string into geographic coordinates using fuzzy matching
Retrieves rich metadata for a specific point of interest ID
Provide center coordinates. Retrieves the traffic flow speed and quality for a specific road segment
Provide min/max lat/lon coordinates. Retrieves real-time traffic incident details within a bounding box
Converts geographic coordinates into a physical address
Provide a category name and a center coordinate. Searches for points of interest (POIs) near a location by category (e.g., gas stations, hospitals)
Provide parameters like countryCode and postalCode. Performs geocoding using explicit address components (e.g., street, city, zip)
Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings TomTom 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
Where and how do I extract my TomTom API Key?
Log into your account at the developer.tomtom.com portal. Go to the dashboard console and select Keys (or My Dashboard). Either use your default developer API Key or click Add new Key for this specific agent usage. Copy the entire cryptographic string and insert it below securely.
Can the agent interact with or update the maps itself?
No. The integration exclusively lists and pulls read-only endpoints (timelines, distances, addresses). The AI agent leverages TomTom merely to process geographic conversions securely; it lacks parameters capable of feeding corruptions or modifying raw data maps.
Should I secure my TomTom API Key?
Yes. It is highly recommended to set a Domain Whitelist in your key management settings on the TomTom developer portal. This restricts the use of your key to specific domains, preventing unauthorized use or rate limit exhaustion.
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.
