📊 What is MCP Traffic?

A comprehensive Tokyo traffic data collection and analysis system that leverages the ODPT (Open Data Platform for Transportation) API to gather, process, and monitor real-time transportation data across Tokyo's extensive public transit network.

MCP Traffic (Model Control Protocol for Traffic) is an automated system designed for:

• 🔄 Real-time Data Collection: Continuous gathering of Tokyo transportation data
• ⚡ Data Processing: Automated cleaning, validation, and transformation
• 📈 Analysis & Monitoring: Traffic pattern analysis and system health monitoring
• 🗄️ Data Management: Organized storage with automatic archiving
• 📚 Documentation: Comprehensive guides and API documentation
