swisstrip-mcp

The canonical SwissTrip MCP client. Connects AI assistants to Swiss Federal Railways (SBB / CFF / FFS) data: train schedules, station search, ticket prices, and direct ticket purchase links.

Backed by SwissTrip's hosted MCP service at https://mcp.swisstrip.app/mcp. Independent third-party implementation; not the official SBB MCP.

get_trip_detailsGet Trip DetailsA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Get detailed information about a specific train connection including all intermediate stops, platforms, and occupancy. Use a trip ID from search_connections results.

Inputs: trip_id (required).

search_connectionsSearch ConnectionsA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Find train connections between two Swiss stations. Accepts station names directly (e.g. "Zürich HB", "Bern") or UIC IDs — name resolution happens internally. Returns live schedules with departure/arrival times, duration, transfers, and trip IDs for downstream pricing/details/ticket calls. Live data: includes delays and cancellations for trains departing within 30 min.

Inputs: to (required), from (required), date, time, +1 more.

search_stationsSearch StationsA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Search for Swiss train stations, addresses, or points of interest by name. Returns UIC station IDs (e.g. "8503000" for Zürich HB) used by the other tools. Note: search_connections accepts station names directly, so this tool is only needed when the user explicitly asks for station info or when you need disambiguation between multiple matches.

Inputs: query (required), limit.
