In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Where's My Train? next trains at Union Square for the N line"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Live NYC subway info for Claude and other AI assistants: arrivals, delays, elevators, and stations — straight from MTA feeds.
Data from the MTA • Personal use only • Not endorsed by the MTA • Provided “as is”
No install, no API key. The server is hosted at:
https://whereismytrainmcp-production.up.railway.app/mcpClaude (web, desktop, mobile): add it as a custom connector with the URL above.
Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http where-is-my-train https://whereismytrainmcp-production.up.railway.app/mcpOther MCP clients: use the URL as a Streamable HTTP server.

"When's the next uptown 6 at Union Square?"
"Next Manhattan-bound L from Bedford?"
"Is the 2 train running OK right now?"
"Is the elevator working at 34th St?"
"Nearest accessible station to the Empire State Building?"
"Any weekend service changes on the L?"
If a name fits several stations ("23rd St"), it asks which one.
