Backcountry Route Finder

Backcountry Route Finder MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Calculates safe and efficient backcountry routes based on terrain and fitness.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides essential tools for planning backcountry expeditions. It calculates route metrics like distance and elevation gain using calculate_route_metrics, evaluates environmental hazards with evaluate_safety_rating, and ensures terrain compatibility via check_terrain_feasibility. It helps planners balance topographic difficulty with group fitness levels to ensure safe passage through mountain environments.

Calculate a route starting at 1200m and ending at 1800m for an intermediate group through a forest.

The route is 5.2 km long with 600m of elevation gain. The estimated time is 2.5 hours, passing through waypoints at the forest edge and the ridge line.

Is a technical scramble safe for a beginner group?

No, a technical scramble is not considered feasible for a beginner fitness level.

Check the safety of a path with a 35-degree slope in an avalanche zone.

The route is not passable because the path intersects an active avalanche zone and the slope angle exceeds safety thresholds.

The time is calculated by combining horizontal distance and vertical climb, then adjusting for the group's specific fitness level using `get_fitness_multipliers`.
