go-planning-mcp

Release Smoke

An MCP server that wraps the Metrolinx GO Transit Open Data API, letting LLMs plan trips, check schedules, and query live departures through natural conversation. Self-hostable via Docker or deployable to Vercel in minutes.

Tools

17 tools, normalized to consistent snake_case DTOs (never a passthrough of Metrolinx's raw shapes). Full parameter tables and example output for every tool live in docs/TOOLS.md.

Tool

Description

Trip planning

plan_trip

Plan a trip by station/stop name (fuzzy-resolved) or code; composes one-transfer trips via Union and major bus-terminal hubs automatically.

GO Transit's line roster for a service day, with valid direction codes.

get_line_schedule

A line's published schedule for a service day (trip summaries, or times at one stop).

Service updates

get_service_alerts

Folded service/information/marketing alerts.

get_service_exceptions

Today's cancelled trips and stops.

Running your own server

Transport split: Claude Desktop → stdio; everything else → Streamable HTTP.

1. Get a Metrolinx API key

Register at the Metrolinx Open Data API registration form. It's free, but approval is manual and can take up to 10 business days.

2. docker run one-liner

docker run -e METROLINX_API_KEY=xxx -p 3000:3000 ghcr.io/emilsoleymani/go-planning-mcp

This serves the MCP endpoint at http://localhost:3000/mcp and a liveness probe at http://localhost:3000/health.

3. Compose quick start

git clone https://github.com/EmilSoleymani/go-planning-mcp.git
cd go-planning-mcp
cp .env.example .env  # then add your METROLINX_API_KEY
docker compose up

4. Claude Desktop (stdio)
