🗺️ OpenRoute MCP

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to plan routes using the OpenRouteService API, for activities such as hiking or mountain biking.

[!CAUTION]

DISCLAIMER: The routes generated by this service are provided for informational purposes only and are not guaranteed to be safe, legal, or suitable for your intended use. Always verify routes independently using official maps, local authorities, and current conditions before attempting any journey. Users assume all risks and responsibilities for their safety and compliance with local laws and regulations.

[!TIP]

Copy the whole GPX file returned as part of the tool call results, and use a service such as gpx.studio to load the generated GPX file on a map.

🛠️ Available tools

📍 Find possible coordinates for a location

Arguments:
- location (string): location to get coordinates for
Returns: list of 10 coordinates with available description to enable the agent figure out the right one

🏠 Find possible locations (addresses) for given coordinates.

Arguments:
- lon (float): Longitude of the location
- lat (float): Latitude of the location
Returns: list of objects close to the given coordinates

🗺️ Create a route from a starting location to a destination, optionally with waypoints

Arguments:
- route_type (string): Type of route, e.g. "cycling-mountain", "cycling-regular", "foot-hiking", "driving-car"
- from_coordinates (list[float]): Starting location as [longitude, latitude]
- from_coordinates (list[float]): Destination location as [longitude, latitude]
- waypoints (list[list[float]]): optional list of waypoints coordinates as [[lon, lat], ...]
Returns:
- a resource file containing the route GPX (e.g. route://foot-hiking-98.gpx)
- a resource file containing a PNG image visualization of the route (e.g. route://foot-hiking-98.png)
- a resource file containing a HTML interactive visualization of the route (e.g. ui://foot-hiking-98.html) that can be directly opened with your browser

📌 Search for Points of Interest (POIs) in an area

Arguments:
- bounding_box_coordinates (list[list[float]]): coordinates defining a bounding box as [[min_lon, min_lat], [max_lon, max_lat]]
- filters_name (list[string]): optional list of names to filter POIs, e.g. ["Gas station", "Restaurant"]
Returns: found POIs information

🔎 Search for known routes close to a given start and end coordinates, this enables to suggest waypoints to go through known trails when creating a route. It is only working in Switzerland for now thanks to the Swiss Confederation api3.geo.admin.ch 🇨🇭

Arguments:
- route_type (string): Type of route, e.g. "cycling-mountain", "cycling-regular", "foot-hiking", "driving-car"
- from_coordinates (list[float]): Starting location as [longitude, latitude]
- from_coordinates (list[float]): Destination location as [longitude, latitude]
Returns: known trails trace and description when available to help the agent build a nice route
