Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server for Upper Route Planner: read drivers and stops, create and optimize routes, assign drivers and push routes to the driver app.

What you can do
  • List drivers and stops, including stops not yet on any route, with addresses, time windows and status
  • Check route optimization status and read the workspace's stop custom fields and capacity fields
  • Create and update routes and stops, with addresses geocoded by Upper
  • Assign drivers to a route and start asynchronous route optimization
  • Share a route to the drivers' mobile app, which notifies each driver
  • Check monthly usage, request a missing feature, upgrade or cancel the subscription
When to use it
Useful when you plan delivery or service routes in Upper Route Planner and want an assistant to build routes from a list of addresses, assign drivers, run optimization and push the finished route to drivers without opening the app.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint; add only the URL to the client, no API key or Authorization header. Sign-in uses OAuth with the user's Upper Route Planner credentials. A free plan allows 50 tool calls per month; paid plans raise the limit.
Before you install
Most tools write to Upper data: creating routes and stops, editing them, assigning drivers, optimizing and sharing routes. Sharing notifies drivers immediately and sending twice notifies twice, so confirm first. Repeated create calls make duplicates. Assigning drivers resets an optimized route. Paid plans are billed through a Stripe checkout link, and cancelling gives no refund for the current period.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Upper Route Planner MCP by usefulapi in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.usefulapi%2Fupper-route-planner/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://upper-route-planner.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http upper-route-planner https://upper-route-planner.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
json
{  "mcpServers": {    "upper-route-planner": {      "url": "https://upper-route-planner.usefulapi.io/mcp"    }  }}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Upper Route Planner credentials.

Tools

12

upper_list_drivers

List drivers

List the active drivers on the Upper team that owns the API token: id, name, email and phone. Use the ids with upper_assign_drivers and upper_share_route_to_drivers. GET /ext-get-drivers.

Takes no parameters.

upper_list_stops

List stops

List the team's stops in optimized order: address, coordinates, contact, time window, duration, status, route_id and custom ids. Pass route_id for one route (optionally scheduled=true/false); pass unscheduled=true (without route_id) for stops not on any route; with no filter all active stops are returned. Upper has no paging, so this tool pages locally: `limit` stops (default 100, max 500) starting at `offset`; the reply says if more remain (truncated, next_offset). GET /ext-get-stops.

Parameterslimitoffsetroute_idscheduledunscheduled

upper_get_optimization_status

Get route optimization status

Check whether a route is optimized: status is optimized, pending (still running) or not_optimized, plus the queue_id of the last job. Poll this after upper_optimize_route. GET /ext-optimization-status.

Parametersroute_idrequired

upper_get_custom_fields

Get stop custom fields

The workspace's five stop custom-field slots (custom1 - custom5: type, label, enabled, required) and which are enabled. Needs the Custom fields feature in the Upper plan. GET /ext-get-custom-fields.

Takes no parameters.

upper_get_capacity_fields

Get capacity fields

The workspace's five capacity-field slots (capacity1 - capacity5: label, unit, enabled) used for load planning. GET /ext-get-capacity-fields.

Takes no parameters.

upper_create_route

Create route

WRITE: create a new, empty route (name, date, optimization preference, units, pickup sequencing, service time). Omitted settings fall back to the account's defaults. Returns the new route_id; add stops with upper_create_stop. Calling it twice creates two routes. POST /ext-create-route.

Parametersunitsroute_dateroute_nameoptimize_forservice_timepickup_settings

upper_update_route

Update route

WRITE: change settings of an existing route (name, date, optimize_for, units, pickup_settings, service_time). Only the fields you pass change. POST /ext-update-route.

Parametersunitsroute_idrequiredroute_dateroute_nameoptimize_forservice_timepickup_settings

upper_create_stop

Create stop

WRITE: create a stop. The address is geocoded by Upper. Pass route_id to put it on a route (the route must not be active/in progress; an optimized route is flagged for re-optimization); omit it for an unscheduled stop. Calling it twice creates two stops. POST /ext-create-stop.

Parameterscitynoteemailphonestateaddressrequiredzipcodeend_timeroute_idnick_namepin_colorstop_type+10 more

upper_update_stop

Update stop

WRITE: change an existing stop; only the fields you pass change. A new address is re-geocoded (city/state/zipcode you pass with it are ignored); city/state/zipcode apply only without an address. Passing route_id moves the stop to that route. Editing a stop on an optimized route flags the route for re-optimization; stops on an active route cannot be edited. POST /ext-update-stop.

Parameterscitynoteemailphonestateaddressstop_idrequiredzipcodeend_timeroute_idnick_namepin_color+11 more

upper_assign_drivers

Assign drivers to a route

WRITE: assign one or more drivers (ids from upper_list_drivers) to a route, replacing the route's drivers. Every id must be an active driver on the team. If the route was already optimized it is reset to unoptimized (needs_optimization: true), so run upper_optimize_route again. POST /ext-assign-drivers.

Parametersroute_idrequireddriver_idsrequired

upper_optimize_route

Optimize route

WRITE: start optimizing a route's stop order. The route needs at least one stop and one assigned driver (upper_assign_drivers). It runs asynchronously: this returns status pending and a queue_id, then poll upper_get_optimization_status. If a job is already running, that job is returned. POST /ext-optimize-route.

Parametersroute_idrequiredtimezone

upper_share_route_to_drivers

Share route to drivers

WRITE: push a route to the drivers' mobile app NOW, which sends each driver a notification. Without driver_ids the route's assigned drivers are used; with them, every id must be an active driver on the team. Sending twice notifies twice. Confirm with the user before calling. POST /ext-share-to-driver.
