Description

bart_departures

Real-time BART San Francisco Bay Area train departures for a station — next train departure times in minutes, per destination, with platform, direction, train length (cars), line color, delay, and bikes allowed. Station accepts a 4-letter BART code ("EMBR", "SFIA") or a station name ("Embarcadero", "Downtown Berkeley", "SFO"). Answers "when is the next BART train". Example: bart_departures({ station: "Embarcadero" })

bart_stations

List all 50 BART San Francisco Bay Area train stations with 4-letter code, full name, city, street address, and coordinates. Optional filter matches station name or city (e.g. "Oakland", "Berkeley", "airport"). Use to find the station code for departures, trips, or fares. Example: bart_stations({ filter: "San Francisco" })

bart_trip_planner

Plan a BART trip between two Bay Area stations — the next trains from origin to destination with departure and arrival times, trip duration, legs (line, transfer stations, bikes), and the fare (Clipper and discount prices). Covers trips like SF to Oakland, Embarcadero to SFO airport, Berkeley to Millbrae. Stations accept 4-letter codes or names. Example: bart_trip_planner({ from: "Embarcadero", to: "SFIA" })

bart_advisories

Current BART service advisories and delays for the San Francisco Bay Area train system, plus elevator outage status at stations. Answers "is BART delayed right now", "are there BART service alerts", "which BART elevators are out". Example: bart_advisories({})

    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:

    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Bart data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
