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

Route Optimization

An agent checks for construction and accidents to suggest the fastest path for a delivery truck.

02

EV Trip Planning

A driver asks the agent to find charging stations and rest areas along a long-distance route.

03

Safety Reporting

An analyst uses the agent to identify if specific types of incidents are trending upward in a region.

04

Real-time Monitoring

A dispatcher uses the agent to keep an eye on specific highway segments via live camera feeds.

Automate a task

Put Road511 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

Road511 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 Road511 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.

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 8 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 Road511, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Road511. 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 Road511 owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals who need to make decisions based on live North American road conditions.

  • 01

    Fleet Operators

    They use the agent to monitor route disruptions and optimize delivery timing.

  • 02

    EV Drivers

    They use the agent to plan trips around available charging infrastructure.

  • 03

    Traffic Analysts

    They use the agent to pull historical incident trends and resolution metrics.

FAQ

Questions Road511 owners ask.

  • 01

    What regions does this MCP cover?

    It covers 50 US states and 13 Canadian provinces.

  • 02

    Do I need my own API key?

    Yes, you will need to enter your Road511 API key to use the capabilities. A free 14-day trial is available from Road511.

  • 03

    Can I use this with my existing mapping software?

    Yes, the MCP can provide traffic event and infrastructure data in GeoJSON format for easy integration with GIS and mapping capabilities.

  • 04

    How fresh is the traffic data?

    Data freshness varies by jurisdiction, but the system reports an average freshness of approximately 2.3 minutes.

  • 05

    Can the AI see live video?

    Yes, the agent can access live traffic camera feeds to provide visual updates on road conditions.

  • 06

    Can my AI check for traffic incidents on a specific highway like I-405 in California?

    Yes! Use the get_events capability with road=I-405 and jurisdiction=CA to filter incidents specifically on that highway. You can further filter by type (incidents, construction, closures) and severity (minor, moderate, major, critical). The results include incident descriptions, affected lanes, estimated clearance times, and alternate route suggestions. For mapping visualization, use get_events_geojson to get the same data in GeoJSON format ready for Mapbox or Leaflet.

  • 07

    How do I find traffic cameras and EV charging stations along my route?

    Use the get_features capability with type=cameras to find all traffic cameras in a jurisdiction, or type=ev_chargers for EV charging stations. You can filter by bounding box (bbox) or by radius from a lat/lon point. For mapping applications, use get_features_geojson which returns data in GeoJSON format ready for direct integration with mapping libraries. Camera features include live stream URLs and road conditions include surface status and weather impacts.

  • 08

    Can I analyze traffic incident trends to understand if traffic is getting worse in my state?

    Absolutely! Use get_trends with your jurisdiction code (e.g., jurisdiction=CA for California) to get time-series incident data showing whether incidents are increasing, decreasing, or stable over time. Use get_clearance to understand how quickly incidents are being resolved (P50 median and P95 resolution times). Combined with get_summary for current snapshot data, you can build comprehensive traffic safety and efficiency reports. This is perfect for transportation planning, resource allocation, and operational performance benchmarking.
