What the publisher says
From the Transitland repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
@cyanheads/transitland-mcp-server Global transit data via the Transitland v2 registry — operators, GTFS/GTFS-RT/GBFS feeds with license terms, routes, stops, and real-time-aware departures via MCP. STDIO or Streamable HTTP. 6 Tools • 2 Resources
Overview
Transit data from the Transitland v2 registry — the open aggregator of GTFS, GTFS-Realtime, and GBFS feeds from thousands of transit operators worldwide. Find operators, discover feeds and their license terms, and look up routes, stops, and real-time-aware departures from any MCP client. Runs as a stdio process or a local Streamable HTTP server.
Tools
Transitland does not geocode place names — resolve a location to coordinates with a geocoding MCP server (e.g. openstreetmap-mcp-server's openstreetmap_geocode) before calling a geography-filtered tool.
