Route lookups for AI agents via MCP
An AI agent connected to the Apify MCP server finds this Actor with search-actors and calls it with just an origin and a destination, here Brisbane Airport to the Gold Coast. It reads route.distanceM and route.durationS from the row and cites the geocoded places. No map API key, no second account.
