Ask AI about this MCP Server
Vinkius supports streamable HTTP and SSE.
* Every MCP server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS - a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
What is the OpenRouteService MCP Server?
The OpenRouteService MCP Server gives AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor direct access to OpenRouteService via 10 tools. Plan routes and analyze spatial data via OpenRouteService — calculate directions, isochrones, distance matrices, VRP optimization, and geocoding from any AI agent. Powered by the Vinkius - no API keys, no infrastructure, connect in under 2 minutes.
Built-in capabilities (10)
Tools for your AI Agents to operate OpenRouteService
Ask your AI agent "Calculate a driving route from Berlin to Munich with estimated time." and get the answer without opening a single dashboard. With 10 tools connected to real OpenRouteService data, your agents reason over live information, cross-reference it with other MCP servers, and deliver insights you would spend hours assembling manually.
Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. Powered by the Vinkius - your credentials never touch the AI model, every request is auditable. Connect in under two minutes.
Why teams choose Vinkius
One subscription gives you access to thousands of MCP servers - and you can deploy your own to the Vinkius Edge. Your AI agents only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure and security, zero maintenance.

What the OpenRouteService MCP Server unlocks
Unlock the full power of OpenRouteService from a single conversation. Calculate driving routes, generate reachability maps, solve vehicle routing problems, and geocode addresses — all backed by OpenStreetMap data.
What you can do
- Directions — Calculate optimal routes between multiple waypoints for car, bicycle, or pedestrian profiles with distance and duration
- Isochrones — Generate reachability polygons showing areas accessible within a given time or distance from any point
- Distance Matrix — Compute M×N duration and distance matrices between multiple origins and destinations
- VRP Optimization — Solve multi-vehicle routing problems with jobs, vehicles, and capacity constraints using the VROOM solver
- Geocoding — Forward and reverse geocode addresses using Pelias, with country boundary filters
- GPS Snap — Clean noisy GPS traces by snapping coordinates to the nearest road segment
- Elevation — Get altitude data for coordinate sequences using the elevation API
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your OpenRouteService API Key
3. Start planning routes from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Logistics teams — optimize multi-stop delivery routes and estimate travel times between warehouses and customers
- Urban planners — analyze accessibility with isochrone maps showing 5/10/15-minute reachability zones
- Field service managers — plan technician routes solving vehicle routing problems with capacity and time window constraints
Frequently asked questions about the OpenRouteService MCP Server
Is the OpenRouteService API free?
Yes. ORS offers a free Standard plan with generous daily limits for all services (directions, isochrones, matrix, geocoding, and optimization). No credit card required. Higher rate limits are available through the Collaborative plan for non-profits, academics, and government organizations.
What routing profiles are supported?
ORS supports driving-car, driving-hgv (heavy goods vehicles), cycling-regular, cycling-road, cycling-mountain, cycling-electric, foot-walking, foot-hiking, and wheelchair. Each profile optimizes routes based on road network restrictions specific to that transportation mode.
Can I solve vehicle routing problems with time windows and capacity constraints?
Yes. The VRP optimization tool uses the VROOM solver. Define jobs with locations, service times, and time windows, then define vehicles with start/end locations, capacities, and operating hours. The solver returns optimized assignments and routes for your entire fleet.
