🔌 Connect your AI assistant

Route AI is an MCP server. Connect it once and your assistant can plan real routes, read them back and export GPX — from inside your chat. Sign-in happens in the browser; there is no API key to copy.

In a terminal — run the command

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http route-ai https://route-ai.app/mcp

Codex CLI

codex mcp add route-ai -- npx -y mcp-remote https://route-ai.app/mcp

In the apps — paste this URL as a custom connector

Claude & ChatGPT

https://route-ai.app/mcp

Claude (Pro or Max): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the URL.
ChatGPT (on the web): Settings → Security and login → turn on Developer mode, then open chatgpt.com/plugins → + → paste the URL under Connection.

Menus move — if yours differ, look for “custom connector” or “MCP server” in your assistant's settings and give it that URL.

What your assistant can do

Tools: plan_route, modify_route, get_route, share_route and export_route. They accept route ids or route-ai.app/s/… share links, so "here's my route — improve day 2" works. In ChatGPT the route appears as an interactive map in the chat, with buttons to download the GPX or make it flatter, longer or shorter, and Route AI can be opened from the sidebar.

No account is needed. Connecting your account is optional and raises your daily limit: a browser page opens, you sign in with Google and click Approve; the client gets its own token and you never copy a key.

Building something instead? The REST API and its OpenAPI spec are in the developer docs.
