How to connect Graphhopper to Claude

Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, available on the web, in the desktop app, and on mobile. Cowork is its agent for knowledge work, and it runs on all of those surfaces too. Connected to your apps, Claude can work with your files and services to accomplish complex tasks on your behalf.

This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Graphhopper account to Claude via Composio Connect, enabling it to optimize delivery routes for multiple trucks, find all areas reachable within 15 minutes, convert a list of addresses to coordinates, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

Setup is the same on Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork, and you only need to do it once. The connector is tied to your account, so it's available in all three.

Connecting Graphhopper to Claude Web, Desktop, and Cowork

Two ways to add the Composio connector. Pick whichever you prefer.

1. Add with one click

Click the button. Claude opens with the Composio connector filled in. Click Add, then go to step 2.

Add to Claude

Add manually

In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top.

Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL:

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.
