The TomTom Maps MCP Server brings location intelligence to AI applications through the Model Context Protocol. Enable your AI Agents and workflows to access TomTom's routing algorithms, map display, real-time traffic data, and global search & geocoding capabilities that power millions of navigation systems worldwide.

## Remote vs. Local Setup

**Remote MCP Server (Recommended)**: Connect directly to TomTom's Remote MCP server at `https://mcp.tomtom.com/maps`. This is the easiest way to get started - no installation required, just configure your AI client with the endpoint and your API key.

**Local Setup**: For advanced users who want to run the MCP server locally, or have specific deployment requirements, check out the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/tomtom-international/tomtom-maps-mcp) for installation instructions and source code.
