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.

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