About Route & Logistics Optimizer
An MCP server for delivery fleets, field-service teams, and sales territories. It plans vehicle routes, assigns jobs, and packs loads, with re-optimization when new orders arrive during the day.
Key features
- 01Route optimization with time windows and capacities
- 02Single-vehicle traveling-salesperson routes
- 03Job assignment using the Hungarian method
- 04Load plans constrained by vehicle capacity
- 05Re-routing for new orders
- 06Route maps and cost explanations
Use cases
- 01Plan fleet routes around delivery windows
- 02Assign field jobs by skills and travel cost
- 03Re-route drivers when orders arrive
MCP support
This remote MCP server provides route optimization, job assignment, load planning, and route explanation tools to clients over Streamable HTTP. It supports OAuth 2.1.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMERoute & Logistics Optimizer
Daily routing for delivery fleets, field-service teams and sales territories: who goes where, in what order, in which vehicle. Solves VRP / TSP with time windows and capacities, assigns jobs with the Hungarian method, packs loads, and re-optimises when new orders land midday.
| Registry name | ai.saifs/route-optimizer |
| Endpoint | https://route-optimizer-mcp.saifs.ai/mcp |
| Transport | Streamable HTTP (remote, nothing to install) |
| Auth | OAuth 2.1 — PKCE (S256) and dynamic client registration; your client opens a sign-in page on first use |
| Publisher | SAIFS AI |
Install
VS Code / GitHub Copilot
Add to .vscode/mcp.json (workspace) or your user mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"saifs-route-optimizer": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://route-optimizer-mcp.saifs.ai/mcp"
}
}
}
Then start the server from the MCP view and sign in when prompted.

Any other MCP client
Point it at https://route-optimizer-mcp.saifs.ai/mcp using the Streamable HTTP transport. The server returns 401 with a
WWW-Authenticate: Bearer … resource_metadata=… challenge, so OAuth-aware clients sign in automatically.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
optimize_routes | Per-vehicle ordered routes from stops, fleet and constraints (time windows, capacities, max shift length). |
optimize_single_route | TSP for one vehicle or sales rep. |
assign_jobs | Optimal worker→job assignment (Hungarian method) from a cost matrix. |
pack_loads | Bin-packing load plans against vehicle capacities. |
reoptimize_midday | Dynamic re-route from the current state plus new orders. |
route_map | Map for a finished route. |
explain_route | Cost breakdown, constraint bindings and savings versus a naive stop order. |
Example prompts
- “Here are today’s 40 stops and 6 vans. Build routes that honour delivery windows.”
- “Assign these field jobs to technicians by skill and travel cost, then route each person.”
- “Three new orders just landed. Re-optimise from where the drivers are now.”

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
