BC Router MCP connector

BC Router is British Columbia's official API for routing, directions, and distance calculations across the province's road networks. The BC Router MCP connector allows AI agents to calculate routes and travel times between geographic points, retrieve turn-by-turn directions, and compute distance matrices for multiple locations. It also supports route optimization to reorder waypoints and minimize total distance or travel time between a starting point and multiple destinations.

Authentication type

• API Key - Requires a static API key to be configured before the agent can connect to the service.

Uses

Use the BC Router MCP connector to perform the following actions:

• Optimize delivery routes across British Columbia to reduce fuel costs and travel time
• Calculate accurate distances and travel times for field service scheduling and dispatch
• Plan multi-stop routes with automatic waypoint reordering to minimize total distance
• Generate turn-by-turn directions for commercial vehicle fleets with weight restrictions
• Compare routing costs between standard and commercial vehicle constraints for logistics planning
• Automate delivery time estimates for customer communications and service level agreements
• Build dynamic route optimization into supply chain and last-mile delivery workflows

Example prompts

Use the following example prompts to invoke BC Router MCP connector tools from your AI assistant or Boomi Connect workflow:

• What's the fastest route between Vancouver and Kelowna in BC Router?
• Calculate the distance and travel time from our warehouse to these three delivery addresses.
• Show me the optimal delivery route that visits all five customer locations in order.
• How long does it take a commercial truck to travel from Prince George to Victoria?
• Get directions for a refrigerated delivery vehicle between these two locations.
• Compare travel times for the same route using standard vehicle and commercial vehicle routing.
• Plan a route that visits ten customer stops and minimizes total distance.
• What's the shortest driving distance between these two points on BC highways?
• Generate step-by-step directions between multiple locations for a logistics workflow.
• Calculate distances between all pairs of these four distribution centers.
