get_more_connections
Load earlier or later train connections for a previous search. Use the collection ID from search_connections results.
LABSCO SUMMARY
Timetable, price and the buy link in one chain — the last step is what most transit tools skip.
search_connections takes station names directly, so an assistant does not have to resolve identifiers before answering a simple question. get_prices takes several journeys in one call and applies the half-fare or travelcard discount, which is the number a Swiss traveller actually cares about, and get_ticket_link then makes the answer purchasable rather than merely quotable.
What it is
A thin MCP client for SwissTrip's hosted service, which fronts Swiss Federal Railways data. It answers timetable questions, prices the journey with your discounts applied, and hands back a link to buy the ticket.
What you get
- search_connections — trains between two Swiss stations by name or station ID, with live departure and arrival times, duration and changes
- search_stations — resolve a station, address or point of interest to the station ID the other tools use
- get_trip_details — every intermediate stop, platform and occupancy for one connection
- get_more_connections — earlier or later trains for a search you already ran
- get_prices — fares in Swiss francs for several connections at once, with half-fare and travelcard discounts applied
- get_ticket_link — a direct purchase link, which opens in the railway's own app on a phone with the discounts carried across
Requirements
Node. The rail data comes from SwissTrip's hosted endpoint, so no account is needed for timetables or prices. An account token is only needed for multi-traveller family pricing. Clients that speak streamable HTTP can connect to the hosted endpoint directly with no install at all.
Setup effort
One command — npx -y swisstrip-mcp
USE CASES
01
Planning a trip between two Swiss towns
Ask by station name and get live departures, durations and changes back.
02
Picking a different departure time
Load earlier or later trains for the search you already ran rather than starting over.
03
Knowing what it costs with your travelcard
Price several candidate connections in one call with the half-fare or travelcard discount applied.
04
Checking whether a connection is tight
Read every intermediate stop, the platforms, and how full the train is expected to be.
05
Actually buying the ticket
Get the purchase link for the connection you chose, which opens in the railway app on a phone.
6 tools
Counted once with only startup setup. Other versions, modes or optional credentials may expose a different list.
get_prices
Get ticket prices in CHF for one or more train connections. Supports Half-Fare card (Halbtax) and GA travelcard discounts. Up to 10 trip_ids per call — batch them in a single request rather than calling once per connection. Use trip_ids from a recent search_connections result; do not invent IDs.
get_ticket_link
Get a direct purchase link to buy a train ticket on SBB.ch. Only call this when the user wants to buy a specific ticket. On mobile with SBB app installed, opens directly in the app with Halbtax/GA applied automatically.
get_trip_details
Get detailed information about a specific train connection including all intermediate stops, platforms, and occupancy. Use a trip ID from search_connections results.
search_connections
Find train connections between two Swiss stations. Accepts station names directly (e.g. "Zürich HB", "Bern") or UIC IDs — name resolution happens internally. Returns live schedules with departure/arrival times, duration, transfers, and trip IDs for downstream pricing/details/ticket calls. Live data: includes delays and cancellations for trains departing within 30 min.
search_stations
Search for Swiss train stations, addresses, or points of interest by name. Returns UIC station IDs (e.g. "8503000" for Zürich HB) used by the other tools. Note: search_connections accepts station names directly, so this tool is only needed when the user explicitly asks for station info or when you need disambiguation between multiple matches.
BEFORE YOU INSTALL
What to know first
Tools you get
6 tools when we connected; the project documents 9. The profile tools save_profile, get_profile and list_travelers are missing without SWISSTRIP_TOKEN; list_travelers is documented as requiring it.
