12306 Train MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can 12306 Train MCP do?
It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: query_train_tickets, search_station. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is 12306 Train MCP working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 32 of 32 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 1062 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect 12306 Train MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does 12306 Train MCP need an API key?
No. 12306 Train MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is 12306 Train MCP?
It answers our handshake in 1062 ms on average, which is faster than 6% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is 12306 Train MCP open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at pianam.cn, which runs on its operator's own terms.
