Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 9, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.
upper_list_driversList 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.
upper_list_stopsList 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
upper_get_optimization_statusCheck 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.
upper_get_custom_fieldsThe 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.
upper_get_capacity_fieldsThe workspace's five capacity-field slots (capacity1 - capacity5: label, unit, enabled) used for load planning. GET /ext-get-capacity-fields.
upper_create_routeWRITE: 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-
upper_update_routeWRITE: 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.
upper_create_stopWRITE: 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.
upper_update_stopWRITE: 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 f
upper_assign_driversWRITE: 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. P
upper_optimize_routeWRITE: 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 re
upper_share_route_to_driversWRITE: 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

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
It passed 4 of 4 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
The GitHub repo last changed yesterday, and the latest version (1.14.0) reached the registry yesterday.
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).
