Routing MCP Server
Let your AI agents optimize routes and draw isochrones over real road networks.
Powered by our Hosted OSRM and Hosted Valhalla engines.

Get Free API KeyWhat is it?
A hosted Model Context Protocol endpoint that gives AI assistants and agents real road-network routing — no glue code, no tool definitions to write. Point your MCP client at https://api.simplerouting.io/mcp/ and the tools below show up in your agent. No key needed to try it; add your Simple Routing API key for higher limits.
Tools
🚚 optimize_route
Finds the fastest order to visit 2–50 stops by car. Returns the stops in visiting order, total distance and total duration — plus the route line if you ask for it. Need multiple vehicles or time windows? See the VRP Solver API.
🗺️ isochrone
Computes the areas reachable from a point within 1–4 travel times (up to 120 minutes) by car, on foot, or by bike. Returns GeoJSON polygons. Same data as our Isochrone API.

FAQ
Which MCP clients are supported?
Any client that speaks the Streamable HTTP transport — Claude Code, Cursor, the MCP Inspector, and most agent frameworks. Claude.ai and ChatGPT connectors require OAuth, which isn't supported yet.
Do I need an API key?
No — it works without one, rate-limited per IP like the rest of the API. Sign up for a free key and send it as a Bearer token for higher limits. It's the same key you use for the REST APIs.
Does it count against my quota?
Yes — each MCP request counts as one API request, the same as the REST APIs.
What's the coverage?
North America and Europe, built from OpenStreetMap data.
