A side-by-side look at the Inavi MCP and Tomtom MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Inavi MCP for location services work as a local process; choose Tomtom for location services as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
list_api_specs, get_api_spec, list_map_examples.geocode, search_poi, reverse_geocode.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.

Returns formatted address, country, lat, lon, type, and match score. Example: geocode({ query: "350 5th Ave, New York" })search_poiSearch for points of interest (POIs) — businesses, landmarks, restaurants, gas stations, etc. — by name or category, optionally near a lat/lon center within a radius. Returns name, category, address, coordinates, phone, url, and distance. Example: search_poi({ query: "coffee", lat: 40.748, lon: -73.985, radius: 1000 })reverse_geocodeReverse geocoding: convert latitude/longitude coordinates into a human-readable street address. Returns the freeform address, country, municipality, street name, postal code, and position. Example: reverse_geocode({ lat: 40.748, lon: -73.985 })routeTraffic-aware routing / directions: calculate the best route between two points and return distance plus travel time computed with live traffic. Reports traffic delay so you get realistic ETAs, not free-flow estimates. Supports car, truck, pedestrian, and bicycle travel modes. Example: route({ from_lat: 40.748, from_lon: -73.985, to_lat: 40.689, to_lon: -74.044 })Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
