Is BART Real-Time Transit working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 158 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect BART Real-Time Transit?

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 BART Real-Time Transit need an API key?

No. BART Real-Time Transit completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is BART Real-Time Transit?

It answers our handshake in 158 ms on average, which is faster than 82% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is BART Real-Time Transit open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at bart-mcp.srivastsh.workers.dev, which runs on its operator's own terms.
