What is the Trimble MCP Server?
Connect your AI agent exclusively to your Trimble PC*MILER logistics infrastructure. Elevate your transportation operations replacing disjointed navigation screens. Communicate organically to your agent to dictate exact vehicle dimensions to avoid tight bridges, compile meticulous state-by-state fuel mileage reports, or estimate holistic transit budgets using precise industrial coordinates.
What you can do
- Heavy Routing Limits — Command a route trace bypassing commercial hazard zones using variables like actual truck dimensions (height, weight) directly in conversation
- Toll Estimation — Ping exactly how much a full route will impact your budget by breaking down both cash and electronic toll values mathematically
- State Mileage Reporting — Generate automatic fuel-tax (IFTA) summaries calculating exact penetration mileage crossed inside individual states
- Logistics Forensics — Interrogate geographical locations using structured isochrone grids (predicting max travel based on an hour limit) or matrix origins
- Spatial Exclusions — Trace itineraries avoiding strictly designated public roads and restricting expressways in the blink of an eye
How it works
- Provision this connector inside your central Vinkius matrix
- Inject your certified Trimble Developer API Key
- Start addressing fleet transit instructions directly mapping routes over any environment
Who is this for?
- Fleet Operations Managers — Oversee large transport deployments bypassing hazards evaluating toll expenditures across specific trips in milliseconds
- Logistical Data Scientists — Plot broad origins-destinations distance matrices interacting solely through terminal queries over heavy machinery requirements
- Dispatch Analysts — Investigate delivery reach by requesting an active 'time shed' (isochrone) boundary estimating limits for rush transit manually
Built-in capabilities (10)
Provide center coordinates and time in minutes. Calculates the reachable area within a specific time limit from a center point
Provide arrays of lon,lat points. Calculates distances and travel times between multiple origins and destinations
Calculates mileage broken down by US state or province for a given route
Returns cash and electronic toll fees in USD. Estimates the total toll costs for a specific truck route
Returns distance, time, and routing polyline. Calculates a truck-compliant route between multiple stops using Trimble PC*MILER
Considers bridge heights, HazMat restrictions, and weight limits. Retrieves turn-by-turn driving directions for a truck route
Converts geographic coordinates into the nearest commercial address
Calculates a route that explicitly avoids certain roads or expressways
Provide vehicle height in inches and weight in lbs. Calculates a truck route using specific vehicle dimensions
Searches for locations and commercial addresses in the Trimble database
Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Trimble 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 do I recover the operational Trimble API Key?
Navigate smoothly into your authorized corporate sphere residing on the developer.trimble.com suite. Look closely at the primary headers locating your Applications or API Access portal hub. Designate a new instance or inspect an existing module tied to Mapping/PC*MILER bounds, copy the immutable token securely generated, and inject it flawlessly right below.
Will `route_avoiding_roads` block major US interstates dynamically?
Yes. This precise endpoint takes an array/string argument of roads to systematically avoid. Instruct the agent to evade specific highways, and Trimble's underlying algorithm recalculates the mathematical vectors completely rendering a path rejecting that specific asphalt footprint unconditionally.
What is the lifespan of my Trimble API access token?
Trimble access tokens obtained via OAuth generally have a short lifespan, typically expiring after 60 minutes. Your MCP integration handles this internally by automatically renewing it using refresh processes when necessary, so no manual intervention is required.
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.
