`directions`

Pack: mapbox · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mapbox/mcp

“Directions from A to B” / “how long does it take to drive from X to Y” / “how far is [A] from [B]” / “walking / cycling / driving directions” / “navigation between points” / “shortest route” — turn-by-turn routing between two or more coordinates. Returns geometry, distance (meters), duration (seconds), voice + banner instructions, and alternatives. Profile: driving, driving-traffic, walking, or cycling. Backed by Mapbox’s commercial-grade traffic data and global road network.
