Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
search_locationsA

Find Swiss train stations, bus stops, and other transport locations.

Use this to:

  • Look up a station name (e.g., "Bern", "Zürich HB", "Interlaken")

  • Find stations near GPS coordinates (e.g., near your hotel)

  • Resolve ambiguous names before planning a journey

Returns station IDs, coordinates, and relevance scores.

plan_journeyA

Plan a journey through Switzerland by train, bus, tram, boat, or cableway.

Use this whenever someone wants to:

  • Travel from A to B (e.g., "how do I get from Zürich to Zermatt?")

  • Plan a multi-stop trip (use via for intermediate stops)

  • Find the best connection for a specific date/time

  • Arrive somewhere by a deadline (set is_arrival_time=True)

  • Compare route options across different transport types

Returns real-time schedules with platform numbers, delays, transfers, and occupancy levels. Call multiple times with different legs to plan a full day itinerary visiting several places.

get_stationboardA

Check what's departing or arriving at a Swiss station right now.

Use this to:

  • See upcoming departures ("what trains leave from Bern soon?")

  • Check if a specific service is delayed or cancelled

  • Browse arrivals at a station

  • Filter by transport type (trains only, buses only, etc.)

Returns a live board with times, platforms, destinations, and delay status.

get_booking_linkA

Get a direct link to buy tickets on sbb.ch for a specific journey.

Use this when someone wants to:

  • Buy a ticket ("book me a train from Zürich to Bern")

  • Get a link to the SBB website for a specific route and time

  • Share a timetable link with someone

Returns a ready-to-click URL that opens SBB's timetable with the search pre-filled.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0

Scored across 4 tools

Disambiguation5/5

All four tools serve clearly distinct purposes: searching locations, planning journeys, checking station boards, and generating booking links. There is no overlap or ambiguity.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (get_booking_link, get_stationboard, plan_journey, search_locations) with underscores and no mixing of conventions.

Tool Count5/5

Four tools is exactly right for a public transport MCP server—core functionalities (search, plan, live board, booking) are each covered by a single tool without unnecessary fragmentation or overlap.

Completeness4/5

The server covers the essential user journeys: finding stations, planning trips, checking real-time departures, and purchasing tickets. Minor gaps like disruptions alerts or fare details are absent but do not severely hinder common use cases.
