Graphhopper for AI agents

GraphHopper provides routing, geocoding, and route optimization for cars, bikes, and trucks, used to plan and calculate travel routes at scale. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

What agents do in Graphhopper.

01

Calculate a route between stops

Compute a driving route with turn-by-turn directions between two addresses for a delivery.

02

Solve a multi-stop route

Submit a vehicle routing problem with several delivery stops to get an optimized stop order.

03

Geocode a destination

Geocode a destination address before it is added to a planned route.

02 · ACTIONS

13 Graphhopper actions, graded by risk.

Every Graphhopper action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

03 · HOW IT WORKS

Graphhopper in three steps.

  1. 01Your users connect GraphhopperThey add their Graphhopper api key on Arc0 Connect, under your brand. It goes straight into the vault.
  2. 02You set the rulesReads run, and writes like “graphHopper VRP POST” can wait for the user to approve.
  3. 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Graphhopper through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
POLICY.TS
await arc0.policies.set('graphhopper', {
  read: 'allow',
  write: 'ask',        // vrp_post
  destructive: 'deny',  
})

# Claude Code: the same connection, one URL

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Graphhopper connects.

Users add their Graphhopper api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

The same Graphhopper connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Graphhopper and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Graphhopper with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Graphhopper to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Graphhopper actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Graphhopper?

Users add their Graphhopper api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

Q03

Which Graphhopper actions can my agent take?

13 in total: 4 read, 9 write and 0 destructive, such as “graphHopper VRP POST”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I make my agent read-only in Graphhopper?

Yes. Allow read actions and deny writes in the Graphhopper policy. Your agent can still look things up, and any write it attempts is blocked and logged.

Q05

Can my own backend call Graphhopper too?

Yes. The same Graphhopper connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
