What clients can I use with this MCP?

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

Do I need my own TomTom API key?

Yes, you will need to enter your TomTom API key to authenticate the connection.

Can this MCP handle truck routing?

Yes, the routing capabilities support different vehicle types including trucks, cars, and bicycles.

How does the fuzzy search work?

Fuzzy search allows you to find addresses and points of interest using flexible, free-text queries rather than needing perfect spelling.

Where is the map data hosted?

Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP, so it is ready to use as soon as you connect your client.

Can I search for a place using just a name like 'Coffee Shop'?

Yes! Use the fuzzy_search capability. It allows you to search for points of interest, streets, and addresses using free-text queries.

Does the routing capability take real-time traffic into account?

Yes, by default the calculate_route capability uses real-time traffic data to provide the most accurate travel times and paths.

How can I get the latitude and longitude for a specific address?

You can use the geocode capability. Simply provide the address string, and it will return the geographic coordinates.

Connect TomTom (Alternative) to ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini

Set it up once and it works in ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and any other client you love. It all runs safely in the background, so you can relax and focus on what really matters. Bring real-world maps and routing directly into your AI agent.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

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

Fleet Routing

An agent calculates the best path for a delivery truck while avoiding specific country vignettes.

POI Discovery

A user asks for nearby landmarks, and the agent finds them using fuzzy search.

Travel Planning

An agent determines the travel time between two cities based on current traffic.

Map Visualization

A developer pulls specific map tiles to display a location within a chat interface.

Automate a task

Put TomTom 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

TomTom 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 TomTom 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. 6 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 TomTom, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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