About OpenRouteService MCP Server
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.
LangChain's ecosystem of 500+ components combines seamlessly with OpenRouteService through native MCP adapters. Connect 10 tools via Vinkius and use ReAct agents, Plan-and-Execute strategies, or custom agent architectures. with LangSmith tracing giving full visibility into every tool call, latency, and token cost.
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
The OpenRouteService MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to LangChain in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
