Tfl Mcp Server
A community wrapper around Transport for London's Unified API that gives Claude live access to the Tube, bus, and bike share network. You get six tools covering service status, live arrivals, journey planning, Santander Cycles dock locations, station crowding levels, and fares between stops. The server automatically resolves stop names to NaPTAN IDs so you can query by location rather than memorizing codes. Ships as both a Node.js MCPB extension and a Java Docker image. TfL enforces strict rate limits without an API key, so you'll want to register for a free one at their portal before real use. The service_status tool includes MCP Apps UI support for hosts that can render it.
