« On va où ? » Routing API: MCP server

Bike, e-bike, kick scooter, motorcycle, wheelchair and walking routes across Europe, for AI assistants. One request returns up to three routes (safe, balanced, fast) with what each one is worth: share of cycle lanes, unpaved surfaces, main roads and motorways, climb, and turn-by-turn steps.

Setup

  1. Create a free API key at https://console.onvaou.app (10,000 requests per month, no credit card).
  2. Add the server to your MCP client, for example Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "onvaou-itineraires": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "onvaou-itineraires-mcp"],
      "env": { "OVO_API_KEY": "ovo_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

Tool

compute_route: origin and destination ({ "lon": 2.3522, "lat": 48.8566 }), up to 8 waypoints, mode (bike, ebike, scooter, moto, wheelchair, foot), variants, avoid (ferries, steps, tolls, highways, unpaved, steep), instruction language (en, fr, de, es, it, nl, pt), and whether to include steps, the encoded polyline and the elevation profile.

Installation

Source-derived launch command. Check the maintainer’s required arguments and credentials before running:

bash
npx -y onvaou-itineraires-mcp

Set up in your AI client

Merge this template into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Keep existing servers. Add any arguments, credentials, and permissions required by the maintainer; this template has not been install-tested.

  "mcpServers": {
    "app-onvaou-itineraires": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "onvaou-itineraires-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop completely for changes to take effect. Confirm the server appears connected in the client’s tool list, then try a read-only example from its documentation.
