Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Delivery Route Planning

Solve vehicle routing problems by providing vehicle capacities and time windows to your agent.

02

Site Selection

Use isochrone reachability to find the best locations for new facilities based on travel time.

03

Data Cleaning

Correct raw GPS tracks that jump off roads using the map matching capability.

04

Network Analysis

Generate distance matrices to understand the travel cost between all points in a logistics network.

Automate a task

Put GraphHopper to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

GraphHopper works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put GraphHopper to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 10 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of GraphHopper, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with GraphHopper. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work GraphHopper owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals managing physical movement and spatial data.

  • 01

    Logistics and Delivery Managers

    They hand off multi-stop route planning and vehicle capacity constraints to the agent.

  • 02

    GIS and Data Analysts

    They use the agent to run geocoding tasks and generate reachability polygons for site selection.

  • 03

    Supply Chain Planners

    They task the agent with calculating distance tables and routing matrices across distribution networks.

  • 04

    Developers

    They use the chat interface to test routing parameters and debug map matching logic.

FAQ

Questions GraphHopper owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect my GraphHopper account?

    You need to provide your GraphHopper API Key, which you can find in your GraphHopper Dashboard under API Keys, during the setup process.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

    You can use any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 03

    Can I solve vehicle routing problems (VRP)?

    Yes, the MCP includes capabilities to submit VRP optimization requests and poll for the resulting solutions.

  • 04

    Does this work with my existing GPS data?

    Yes, you can use the map matching capability to snap raw GPX tracks onto street vectors to correct inaccuracies.

  • 05

    Can I find the area reachable within a certain time?

    Yes, you can use the isochrone or reachability polygon capabilities to define these boundaries.

  • 06

    Can my agent calculate reachability zones using time limits?

    Yes. Use the 'calculate_reachability_polygon' capability. Provide a starting point and a time limit in seconds. The agent will retrieve the isochrone polygon defining exactly what area is reachable within that duration natively.

  • 07

    How do I optimize a multi-stop delivery route via chat?

    Use the 'submit_vrp_optimizer' capability. Provide a JSON payload defining your vehicles and service stops. The agent will trigger the VRP solver to calculate the most efficient sequence, accounting for time windows and capacities synchronously.

  • 08

    Can I perform reverse geocoding to find a street name through the agent?

    Absolutely. Use the 'reverse_geocode' capability. Provide the latitude and longitude. Your agent will analyze the global OSM bounds to match the coordinates exactly against the nearest physical street address flawlessy.
