BART Real-Time Transit

srivastsh/bay-area-transit-mcp

Wraps the BART public API into five clean tools: real-time departures by station, trip planning between stops, fare lookups, service advisories, and station listings. Runs on Cloudflare Workers with no authentication required, making it dead simple to wire up. Reach for this when you're building transit assistants, commute planners, or anything that needs Bay Area rapid transit data without managing API keys or deployment. The developer also published a companion Muni server using the 511.org API with bring-your-own-key auth. Both support streamable HTTP transport and work with Claude Desktop, Poke, Cursor, or any MCP client via the hosted endpoints.

Bay Area Transit MCP Servers

Two Cloudflare Workers providing MCP (Model Context Protocol) access to BART and SF Muni real-time transit data. Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Poke, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client.

You don't need to deploy anything. Just point your MCP client at the hosted endpoints below.

Live Endpoints

  • BART: https://bart-mcp.srivastsh.workers.dev/mcp — no auth, just connect
  • Muni: https://muni-mcp.srivastsh.workers.dev/mcp — pass your free 511.org API key via x-api-key-511 header

These run on Cloudflare Workers' free tier (100k requests/day). Since the Muni server uses BYOK auth, each user's 511 rate limit is isolated to their own key.

Quick Start

BART (no auth required)

Just add the URL to your MCP client. No API key needed.

Muni (BYOK)

  1. Get a free 511.org API key at https://511.org/open-data/token
  2. Pass it via the x-api-key-511 header in your MCP config

Client Configuration
