## Why

MrBilit (mrbilit.com, مستربلیط) sells flights, trains, intercity buses, private taxis and hotels in one place, but
each one has its own search, calendar and rules. Comparing "plane or train or bus, which day, which seat" means
a dozen page loads. An agent with `mrbilit-mcp` does it in one go:

> **You:** Cheapest way to get from Tehran to Mashhad on 20 October?
>
> **Agent:** *calls* `mb_search_flights(origin="THR", destination="MHD", date="2026-10-20")`,
> `mb_train_price_calendar(origin=1, destination=191)`, `mb_search_buses(origin=11320000, destination=31310000, date="2026-10-20", sort="cheapest")`
>
> | Mode | Cheapest option | Departs | Price (Toman) |
> |---|---|---|---|
> | Bus | Peyk Saba VIP, Tehran South terminal, 17 seats left | 21:00, arrives 09:00 | **1,313,000** |
> | Train | cheapest seat that day | | 760,000 |
> | Flight | Mehr Air MEH 4200, Mehrabad, 2 seats left | 08:30, arrives 09:30 | 11,856,000 |
>
> The train is cheapest; want me to list that day's trains and free seats with `mb_search_trains`?

<sub>Real tool output from 2026-10-04; prices and seats change all the time. Prices are in Toman.</sub>

## What it can do

- ✈️ **Flights**: domestic and international, one-way or round trip, party prices, cabin/airline/direct/time filters
- 📅 **Cheapest day** for flights, trains and buses over weeks, and the cheapest nights of a hotel
- 🚆 **Trains**: every class with free seats, exact price for children, infants or a whole compartment, every stop
- 🚌 **Buses and taxis**: terminals, companies, VIP, seat maps with women/men seats, private door-to-door cars
- 🔀 **Alternatives** when trains are full: one-change trips, nearby stations, bus routes and airports
- 🏨 **Hotels**: available stays with prices, every hotel of a city, guest ratings and reviews, rooms and exact prices
- 📢 **Context**: current site notices, official refund and baggage rules, help-center guides, route guides
- 🔒 **Read-only by design**: no login, no seat hold, no booking, no payment

## Quick start

You need [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/).

<details open>
<summary><b>Claude Code</b></summary>

```bash
claude mcp add mrbilit -- uvx mrbilit-mcp
```

Outside Iran, if MrBilit's API does not answer, add a proxy:

```bash
claude mcp add mrbilit -e MRBILIT_MCP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:8080 -- uvx mrbilit-mcp
```
</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Claude Desktop</b></summary>

Settings → Developer → Edit Config, then add:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mrbilit": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["mrbilit-mcp"] }
  }
}
```

Need a proxy? Add `"env": { "MRBILIT_MCP_PROXY": "http://127.0.0.1:8080" }` next to `args`.
</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Cursor</b></summary>

Click **Install in Cursor** above, or add the Claude Desktop block to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`.
</details>

<details>
<summary><b>VS Code (Copilot agent mode)</b></summary>

Click **Install in VS Code** above, or add to `.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "mrbilit": { "type": "stdio", "command": "uvx", "args": ["mrbilit-mcp"] }
  }
}
```
</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Anything else</b></summary>

It's a standard stdio MCP server: run `uvx mrbilit-mcp`, or `pip install mrbilit-mcp` and run `mrbilit-mcp`.
</details>

Then just ask:

- "Cheapest day to fly Tehran to Kish in the next month, and the baggage on that flight?"
- "Train from Tehran to Mashhad next Friday for 2 adults and a child: which classes have seats and what's the total?"
- "4-star hotels in Shiraz for 3 nights from the 20th under 3 million Toman a night, with their reviews."
- <span dir="rtl">ارزان&zwnj;ترین اتوبوس VIP تهران به اصفهان فردا شب و صندلی&zwnj;های خالی آن؟</span>

## How it works

```text
  AI agent  (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, ...)
      │
      │  MCP over stdio
      ▼
  mrbilit-mcp  (runs on your machine)
      │
      │  HTTPS (REST, optional proxy)
      ├──────▶  flight.atighgasht.com, train.mrbilit.com, masir.mrbilit.com, bus.mrbilit.ir, hotel.mrbilit.ir
      └──────▶  content.mrbilit.ir, directus.mrbilit.ir, mrbilit.com (site lists, magazine)
```

`mrbilit-mcp` runs locally and calls the same public endpoints the mrbilit.com website uses. There's no hosted
server in between, no API key, and nothing about you is sent anywhere else.

## Tools

Every search takes the codes from `mb_find_place`: IATA codes for flights (`THR`, `MHD`, `ISTALL`), station ids for
trains (Tehran `1`, Mashhad `191`), 8-digit city ids for buses and taxis (Tehran `11320000`), slugs for hotels
(`mashhad`, `mashhad/enghelab`).

All 22 tools are annotated `readOnlyHint: true` and return compact structured JSON, so they don't flood the agent's context.

## Good to know

- **Prices are in Toman** in every tool (the API sends Rial; values are divided by 10), always in fields named `*_toman`.
  Flight `price_toman` is per adult and `total_toman` the whole party; trains per adult; buses per seat; taxis per car;
  hotels the whole stay for one room.
- **Dates** in and out are Gregorian `YYYY-MM-DD`; past dates are rejected. Times are local to the place: a flight
  time at a foreign airport is that airport's local time, although the API puts `+03:30` on every flight time.
- **Ratings are 0–5**; `null` means not rated. The site shows hotel ratings ×2 out of 10.
- **Ids expire**: `flight_id`, `class_id` and `bus_id` come from a fresh search.
- **Sales windows**: trains open about 18 days ahead, buses about a month. An empty result often just means "not on sale yet".
- **Round trips**: domestic flights are two separate tickets (two lists); international round trips are priced as one package.
- **Hotel prices do not depend on the guest count**: pick rooms whose `sleeps` fits, and add rooms up for a group.
- Domestic airports and train stations come from the site's own bundled lists, fetched once per run with a copy
  shipped in the package as a fallback.

## FAQ

<details>
<summary><b>Do I need a proxy?</b></summary>

Usually not: direct calls from an Iranian connection work. If your network cannot reach MrBilit's API servers
(connections time out or are reset), set `MRBILIT_MCP_PROXY` to an HTTP proxy that can reach them.
System proxy variables (`HTTPS_PROXY`, ...) are ignored on purpose.
</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Can it book a ticket for me?</b></summary>

No, and that's deliberate. It has no login and never holds a seat, reserves, orders or pays. The agent finds the
best option; you book on mrbilit.com.
</details>

<details>
<summary><b>I get "did not answer in time" or "Could not reach"</b></summary>

The server retries a reset connection once. If it keeps failing, set `MRBILIT_MCP_PROXY` (see above). The one-change
trip search (`mb_alternative_routes`) is known to hang now and then; it is retried and its other parts are still returned.
</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Why does a sold-out train class still have a price in <code>mb_train_price</code>?</b></summary>

The pricing endpoint prices any class; availability comes from `mb_search_trains` (`seats_left`, `bookable`).
</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Claude Desktop says <code>uvx</code> is not found</b></summary>

Use the full path to `uvx` (`where uvx` on Windows, `which uvx` on macOS/Linux) as `command`.
</details>

<details>
<summary><b>How do I debug what the agent sees?</b></summary>

```bash
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx mrbilit-mcp
```
</details>

## Configuration

| Variable | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| `MRBILIT_MCP_PROXY` | unset | HTTP proxy for every request, e.g. `http://user:pass@host:port`. Usually not needed in Iran |

## Safety

- Read-only: no login or OTP, no seat hold, reservation, order, payment, wallet, price alert or review posting.
  The only POSTs are searches and price lookups the site itself makes before booking.
- Admin fields (`created_by`, `updated_by`) of the content CMS are never passed through.
- Always sends a browser User-Agent and at most two requests at a time, since the API hosts share one server.

## فارسی

<div dir="rtl">

**mrbilit-mcp** به دستیار هوش مصنوعی شما (Claude، Cursor، Copilot و ...) اجازه می&zwnj;دهد در مستربلیط ارزان&zwnj;ترین
پرواز، قطار، اتوبوس یا تاکسی دربستی را برای یک روز یا یک ماه پیدا کند، صندلی&zwnj;های خالی، بار مجاز و قوانین استرداد را ببیند
و هتل&zwnj;ها را با قیمت دقیق اتاق و نظرات مسافران مقایسه کند.

- فقط خواندنی است: وارد حساب نمی&zwnj;شود و صندلی رزرو یا بلیط صادر نمی&zwnj;کند.
- همه قیمت&zwnj;ها به تومان است.
- روی سیستم خود شما اجرا می&zwnj;شود و به هیچ سرور واسطی داده نمی&zwnj;فرستد.
- در ایران معمولاً نیازی به پروکسی نیست؛ اگر سرورهای مستربلیط پاسخ ندادند، `MRBILIT_MCP_PROXY` را تنظیم کنید.

```

Tools live in `src/mrbilit_mcp/places.py`, `flights.py`, `trains.py`, `buses.py`, `hotels.py` and `content.py`; each
is a typed async function with a docstring that tells the agent when to use it. Issues and PRs are welcome,
especially new tools and fixes for API changes.

Releases: bump the version in `pyproject.toml` and `server.json`, then push a `v*` tag. GitHub Actions tests,
publishes to PyPI and the [MCP Registry](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io), and creates the GitHub Release.

TDQS

A3.9/5.0

Scored across 22 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Tools are mostly distinct by service and action (search, calendar, details, seats), and descriptions explicitly cross-reference next steps. However, some overlap exists among hotel price tools (mb_search_hotels vs mb_hotel_rooms vs mb_hotel_calendar) and between search and price-calendar tools, which could cause occasional misselection.

Naming Consistency3/5

All tools use a consistent mb_ prefix and snake_case, but the naming pattern mixes verb_noun (mb_search_flights, mb_find_place) with noun phrases (mb_bus_price_calendar, mb_train_stops, mb_hotel_rooms). The convention is readable but not a predictable verb_noun pattern throughout.

Tool Count3/5

22 tools cover five transport/accommodation services plus support utilities, so each service gets search, calendar, and detail tools. This is at the upper end of reasonable; some consolidation (e.g., fewer calendars) could reduce the surface without losing capability.

Completeness3/5

The search/planning surface is broad: flights, trains, buses, taxis, hotels, alternatives, places, companies, notices, help, and guides are covered. However, no tool performs booking, reservation, or order management, leaving a notable lifecycle gap for a travel-booking domain.
