swiss-public-transport-mcp

MCP server for Swiss public transport — connections, stationboards, real-time delays, and direct booking links for SBB.

Wraps transport.opendata.ch — free, no API key, no signup. Covers the full Swiss network (SBB, Postauto, regional, trams, buses, ships, cableways).

Why this server

Zero config. Install and go — no account, no token, no env vars.
Booking links. Returns deep links into SBB.ch so the user can buy a ticket in one click.
Disambiguation built in. Ambiguous station names return candidates instead of failing silently.
Compact, model-friendly output. Formatted text designed for LLM context windows, not raw JSON dumps.

Tools

Tool	Purpose
`search_locations`	Resolve a station/stop/POI by name or coordinates
`plan_journey`	Plan A → B with via, transport-type filters, arrival-time mode
`get_stationboard`	Live departures or arrivals from any stop
`get_booking_link`	Build an SBB.ch URL for a journey so the user can buy a ticket

No install needed — run directly with uvx:

It exposes ~11 tools across the official OJP 2.0 / SIRI / CKAN APIs and requires a (free) API key from the opentransportdata.swiss API Manager.
