Add the Composio MCP server Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL: ```bash https://connect.composio.dev/mcp ``` ## What is Claude Cowork? Claude Cowork is Anthropic's agent for general knowledge work. It can use your computer, files, and connected applications to complete longer-running tasks across your work tools. With Composio Connect, Cowork can securely access apps like Graphhopper through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## What is the Graphhopper MCP server, and what's possible with it? 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. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `GRAPHHOPPER_CLUSTER_POST` | Capacity Clustering | Solve capacity-constrained clustering problems by assigning customers to clusters while minimizing total travel distance. Useful for delivery zone planning, sales territory optimization, and workload balancing. Supports car, bike, and foot routing profiles. Note: Free tier limited to 5 customers per request. | | `GRAPHHOPPER_GEOCODE_GET` | GraphHopper Geocoding | Tool to perform forward or reverse geocoding. Use when converting between textual addresses and latitude/longitude coordinates. | | `GRAPHHOPPER_GET_CLUSTER_SOLUTION` | Get Cluster Solution | Tool to retrieve the solution of an asynchronous clustering job. Use when you have a job ID from a previous cluster calculation request and need to fetch the results. | | `GRAPHHOPPER_GET_MATRIX` | Get Matrix | Tool to compute a distance and/or time matrix using GET request with query parameters. Use for simpler matrix requests with query parameters instead of POST body. | | `GRAPHHOPPER_GET_MATRIX_SOLUTION` | Get Matrix Solution | Tool to retrieve the result of an asynchronous matrix computation job. Use when you have a job ID from a previous matrix calculation request and need to check if it's finished and get the results. | | `GRAPHHOPPER_GET_ROUTE` | GET Route | Tool to calculate the best path connecting two or more points using simple GET request. Use when you need basic routing with query parameters. | | `GRAPHHOPPER_ISOCHRONE_GET` | Get Isochrone | Tool to compute isochrone polygons for a given point.

Returns a job ID to retrieve results later. | | `GRAPHHOPPER_UPLOAD_GPX_FILE` | Map Match GPX Track | Map-match a GPX track using GraphHopper's Map Matching API. This tool takes GPS track points in GPX format and snaps them to the digital road network. It's useful for: - Cleaning noisy GPS data by aligning points to actual roads - Getting accurate route distances and travel times from recorded GPS tracks - Attaching road information (street names, surfaces) to GPS traces - Generating turn-by-turn instructions for recorded trips The API uses the Viterbi algorithm to find the most likely sequence of road segments that match the input GPS points, accounting for GPS measurement noise. | | `GRAPHHOPPER_VRP_POST` | GraphHopper VRP POST | Tool to initiate VRP optimization. Use when you need to solve vehicle routing problems synchronously. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Graphhopper MCP server connects Claude Cowork to your Graphhopper account through Composio.

With a standalone Graphhopper MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Graphhopper tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Graphhopper and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Cowork? Yes, you can. Claude Cowork fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Graphhopper tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Graphhopper while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Graphhopper scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Graphhopper data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
