How to integrate Graphhopper MCP with Atomic Agent

Atomic Agent is an open-source AI agent that runs on your machine and supports local models through llama.cpp. Connect it to 1,500+ apps through Composio, including Graphhopper.

This guide uses Atomic Agent's built-in Composio integration. You need Atomic Agent v0.5.6 or later, your own Composio API key, and a Graphhopper account. See the Atomic Agent documentation for installation instructions.

How Atomic Agent connects to Graphhopper

Atomic Agent connects to Composio's Tool Router over Streamable HTTP MCP. It discovers the tools needed for your request, and Composio handles account authentication.

Execution and account-connection tools follow Atomic Agent's configured approval policy. Review any approval prompt before allowing an action on your connected account.

Connect Graphhopper to Atomic Agent

1. Sign up or sign in to the Composio dashboard. Copy your API key.
2. In Atomic Agent, open the Integrations tab and select Composio. Select API key, press e, paste the key, and press Enter. The tools become available immediately, without a restart.
3. Ask Atomic Agent to do something in Graphhopper. It searches Composio for the right tool.
4. On first use, open the sign-in link returned in the chat. Connect your Graphhopper account, then return to Atomic Agent to continue.

Headless setup

Add the following line to ~/.atomic-agent/.env, replacing YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY with your key. Start Atomic Agent after saving the file.

The Graphhopper MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Graphhopper account. It provides structured and secure access to powerful routing, geocoding, and optimization services, so your agent can perform actions like planning routes, solving vehicle routing problems, geocoding addresses, and generating travel time isochrones on your behalf.

• Advanced route planning and optimization: Calculate complex routes for cars, bikes, or trucks using advanced parameters, waypoints, and custom profiles, all without manual map work.
• Batch distance and time calculations: Let your agent generate distance or time matrices for multiple origins and destinations, streamlining logistics and route optimization tasks.
• Geocoding and reverse geocoding: Convert between street addresses and GPS coordinates, or look up locations by latitude/longitude, making address management and mapping effortless.
• Isochrone map generation: Automatically create isochrone polygons to visualize areas reachable within a specific travel time or distance from any point—perfect for delivery zones, emergency planning, or site selection.
• Vehicle routing problem (VRP) solving: Offload complex fleet and logistics challenges to your agent, letting it assign deliveries, optimize routes, and minimize travel distances or costs using Graphhopper's VRP tools.

Use Graphhopper from Atomic Agent

With your account connected, ask Atomic Agent to work with Graphhopper in natural language. You can connect more apps through the same Composio integration as you need them.
