Transitland MCP Server runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 40 installs a week from npm. Last commit 21 Aug 2026.
Global transit via Transitland v2 — operators, GTFS/GTFS-RT/GBFS feeds, routes, stops, departures.
Today is the operative word: we check Transitland MCP Server every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.
